Thoughts
So I went to "Live Homosexual Acts" and dragged my sorority sister Kristen along. It was so cute/sad/funny/just a good night all around. Two of the girls that I'm friends with both told their stories of coming out and my friend Sara's story was so touching. She met her girlfriend 4 years ago when they had a mutual "crush" on a guy, needless to say there crush on the guy didn't last long and they came friends after that. They began a tradition of watching movies together and Sara even visited Ginny while she was working as a camp counselor and as crazy kids are a random kid went up to Ginny and bit her on her neck and for some reason that was unsettling for Sara and she couldn't figure out why. Later they went back to Sara's place and sara couldn't get the image of that girl biting Ginny out of her mind and said " I mean who does that girl think she is? I mean I would bite your neck if it wasn't so weird". They became best friends and eventually at one point Ginny said "I don't want to be gay" and Sara said "oh psh I'm not gay either" but after she said it she wasn't sure and for some reason felt sad after what Ginny said. Then a week later they got together for their monthly movie tradition and Sara still feeling a bit awkward and sad about it they begin there night and it goes pretty normal for awhile, then Ginny looks at Sara and says "I want to kiss you". Sara gets severe anxiety and when Ginny kissed her hand she ended up throwing up she was so nervous. Ginny ends up cleaning her up and gave her a new shirt to wear. They then went to bed, Sara feeling embarrassed and ashamed, they slept as far away on the bed as possible, but then Ginny moved in and kissed her and 4 years later they're still together and Sara's "heart still skips a beat when she sees her smile"
The point of that adorable story is, I feel as though stories like this are rare in the lgbta community. Especially at a big school at Tech I feel like if you want to meet anyone queer you have to join lgbta or you'll be lonely. I just wish you could meet someone by chance just like the straight people do and you didn't have to orchestrate everything. I wish you could just be in a coffee shop or in a terminal and just lock eyes with someone and just have it grow from there. I wish you didn't have to hang out at a gay club or get a friend to hook you up with someone or just date or hook up with whatever is available just because that's all there is. I just wish we could all have a love story not just a well we met cause well they were the only one that was ok looking and was gay. Thoughts?
