I am tired of being disregarded by old friends because of what I perceive to be a "blowing off of my non-gayness".
I was written off by a friend in SF who always tried to get me drunk -- because she wanted in my pants. Now that I'm here on Guam -- not seen every day -- it's like I don't even exist.
I had another friend in SF who never seemed comfortable in skirts... or even in shirts that fit. She now identifies herself as a male. No surprise. I emailed her, asking how she was... nada.
There have been people who have questioned my sexuality just because of who I'm in love with.
In the past few months, I have been contacted by 2 childhood friends who i haven't seen in years. Both of which have turned out to be gay -- no surprise, i saw it then and didn't care. I exchanged emails with both and neither responded as soon as they found out i had a boyfriend.
I've emailed them both, asking how they are and inquiring about their lives since we've seen each other last -- but nothing.
The flattery has passed.
It irritates me! I'm not a girly girl, but i'm not a butch either. I am currently in love with a man. So? I freely admit that i prefer women, but I cannot help who i fall in love with, and it would be incredibly foolish of me to write someone off just because of their equipment.
BE my friend. You were before sexuality mattered. Now it does, and your judgement hurts.
