Sometimes I'm gay
Sometimes I hate being gay. I hate that I can't openly talk about Heather (to random people, such as customers and such) and refer to her "as my girlfriend". I hate that seeing us hold hands disgust some people. I hate that I will probably never be able to be married. Our wedding will be nothing to anyone other than us. I hate that if something happens to her, I "have no right" to be in the hospital room with her. I hate that I will never be able to "accidentally" get pregnant- and when we do have a baby, people will say it's "my" baby and not Heather's too. I hate that I can't even adopt a baby someone else didn't want. I hate that people hate me because of what I do in bed. I hate that they think I should die. I hate that how "gay friendly" a canidate is is what I have to focus my vote on. I hate that people assume I'm straight when they see me walking down the street because i "don't look gay". I hate that family... me and Heather are "friends". I hate that I'll never be viewed as normal because I'm a dyke.
Sometimes I like being gay. I like that I still talk about my girlfriend to most random people. I like that I still hold her hand, kiss her, hug her, etc in public because I love her. I like that when we get married it will mean something to us... and if we stay together forever it will be because we love each other, not because a peice of paper said we should. I like that we can fuck like bunnies with minimum risk. I like that when we have a baby it will be on our time. I like that I am able to be who I am, even though there are stupid assholes in the world who would rather see me rot in the closet. I feel...almost above them sometimes. I like what I do in bed. I like that I have something IMPORTANT to focus my vote on. I like that people assume wrongly about me, that's what they get for assuming. I like that I'm not normal, I like that I'm a dyke.
