Getting on my feet
I probably shouldn’t post here. I mean, I no longer identify as a lesbian. I now simply identify as queer. I don’t think I even identify as female, even though I am still physically female.
I’m a boi. I’ve been a boi for as long as I can remember.
I think this might be my goodbye post. I haven’t posted here in a very, very long time. Why? Because so much has happened in my life over the past year and a half. It is because of all of this that I just haven’t known what to say.
As far as the “topics” go here are my thoughts:
1) I think gays should be legally allowed to adopt. Do I think all gays should adopt? Nope. Why? Because it’s just like straight people: Not all people, in general, make good parents.
My parents are straight, but they should never have had kids.
My friends parents are gay, and they should never have had kids.
Adopting children is the same as having children, is the same as making the choice to conceive a child and raise that child: some people make excellent parents, some don’t. But all people should be legally allowed to have those children, be it adoption or other means. Why? Because all people, in this vast and messy world, should be equal.
2) The best way I have found for meeting a mate or date is through friends and online. I’ve found for my own sake that bars don’t really work out, singles groups are depressing and online matchmakers rarely work for the “homosexual” nature. My online way? Livejournal. MSN messenger and etc.
3) Hasn’t everyone at one time or another fallen for someone who was straight or is straight or was viewed as straight and/or unattainable?
I have. My wife, actually, thought she was straight for her whole life before she fell in love with me.
Anyways….that’s my post. I might post again with the story I originally came in to post, but I might just let this be my final post. What do you think?
