silversolitaireG'day!
I've been having some troubles with my connection here, 'm afraid. Wouldn't let me check my mail. Something which really annoys me. But in the end it worked out and I received the most wonderful feedback to my latest fic I posted. I was still floating an hour afterwards! *smiles*
I just read this quote and I must say, I heartily agree:
My ultimate objective is to help create a society where people no longer define themselves as gay, straight and bisexual. When all three orientations are deemed equally valid and all intolerance is eradicated, there will be no need to differentiate between people of different sexualities. True queer liberation is when nobody cares who's hetero, homo, or bi; when we can love whoever we want - man or woman - without fear of ostracism, prejudice, discrimination or violence. - Peter Tatchell of gay magazine OutRage!
This will truly be a society to strife for. I must admit, I'm getting tired of finding labels and defining (and most of all justifying) myself constantly. When I put on a sticker that says "Proud to be a Lesbian" I get dirty looks because I have a Ewan/Jon-shrine in my room. So what? I don't know or want to think about what I am. I am whatever you say I am. If I wasn't, then why would I say I am? I just love people. Is that bad? No, it's not. I love to refer to myself as gay, but I wouldn't say no to Ewan, if he was ringing at my door. Neither would I say it to Catherine (my beautiful Cat...). I do have a bi identity I'm proud of, I just don't like to phrase it like that. I may be happy bi nature, but I feel like a lesbian nonetheless. In many many ways actually. Sometimes I despise straight men with a passion...
LOL, I confess! I am heterophobe!
