Lesbian Years
Closer to my thirties more now than ever I can’t help but compare the status of my life to those close to me. Its it healthy? Not at all, but I think a little part in all of us does it. All of the friends that I grew up with are married with children, a house, and nice cars. If they don’t have all of those things they at least have one. Two thirds of my gay friends are in relationships. Most haven’t yet caught up to my straight friends in terms of assets. Thinking about this I realized that gay years are different than straight years.
In the lesbian world it is apparently okay that I am not yet a home owner. In lesbian years it is okay that I don’t have a child yet. However I can’t tell you how many puppies or kittens I have been offered. So is this just me or does anyone else notice the lag. Sometimes it’s a good thing and other times I can’t help but feel like I am so far behind the rest of the world.
