Bummer about Melissa

Hi, I'm back. Wanted to comment on Melissa's breakup. What a bummer. Do we all put our hopes and dreams in these poor gay couples in the spotlight and then when it doesn't work out, we are so disappointed. This puts a lot of pressure on the couples to be better than the rest. I guess we are all human and we have frailties and problems. I think it is probably that much harder for those with fame. I think the relationships are very different and very vulnerable because of egos, fame, worship, etc. They really cannot have normal lives. And let's face it, marriage is hard enough as it is, but add all those other factors in, including how their relationship has no privacy, and I have some idea of how awful I would feel about all of that.
I know that a couple that fought for the right to marry in Massachusetts then broke up several years later, and it seems much more symbolic because of it. Perhaps we as a people are not meant for those long-term lifetime relationships anymore. Perhaps we change and grow and need new partners as we go along. I haven't figured it out yet because I am a Capricorn and like groundedness, and relationships coming and going doesn't represent that. I guess it is about riding the waves. There is the quote: "The only certainty is change." A good one for me, and of course for all those women who have found themselves attracted to a different sex after years.
Check out this website for some ideas on how to make your life better.

Liberal vs. conservative

Perhaps I can keep up with my blog a little better - vacation is here. So, I had a staff member come in to my office and I came out to her today - I have thought about it - I'm in schools. It's amazing how few people I get that thought with. There are many conservative people in the schools and I have no idea how they would respond. Then there is the spider web effect - what happens when parents find out and don't want you to see their children. There are those jobs that there is some liability in coming out.
Today, there was a sense that the woman was giving me permission to tell her - she already had an idea. And if felt good to finally tell her. There is another woman who spends a lot of time talking to me, but she uses words that prohibit me from telling her. Again, conservative.
My "liberal" friend today commented how frustrated she is working and living with people who are "narrow minded" - she would love being around people who are accepting and honor diversity.
As I write this, I know there are gay republicans and I find this confusing. But I guess we all have different values on different issues. I decided awhile ago that I am a conservative liberal.
I have very liberal thinking and am pretty accepting. I have very broad thinking but I actually live and dress conservatively. Confusing, huh. So, perhaps someday I will understand the
"gay republican" because when I think of the republican party, I think of the banning of gay marriage, re-writing state constitutions to ban gay marriage, religious conservatives, and voting for "don't ask, don't tell." So how can one be both??

Spring is Here!

And with spring, come the urgings for romance. It happens to everyone. I'm pretty sure it's a biological effect along with the new life of spring. We are all literally coming out of the house and the closet. I know I have more energy when the weather improves. More energy often equals wanting to meet new people and have relationships. And you?? I am in a relationship and we tend to do more things in the nicer weather. I would even say my mood improves in the warmer weather where I do not have to wear a winter coat. I also own a convertible so that always brings more fun.
So, take a chance. Go out there and take a chance. Go on a blind date. Get on the lesbian dating sites. Don't be afraid of it. Many people are afraid or refuse to do the internet dating thing, but I believe in it. It's a good way to meet people and yes, you have to be careful. But how else are you going to meet someone? If your friends don't know anyone to introduce you to, the bar is not the best option.

Life can be Grand!!

Well, how are things going in your lesbian world? Things are going well for me and I'm very glad that I'm living as a lesbian rather than a straight person. It has been a long time since I've been attracted to a male. I have no desire to go back to that. I do believe there is a definite continuum we move along and some people stay near the midddle and fall in the bisexual category, while some move farther and only desire women. Then there are those women who are only attracted to women their whole lives but get married for other reasons.
I think I was definitely attracted to the man I married but it is true that I only gave myself that possibility. What if, at 18, I had considered women, what would I have done? I don't know. But I didn't consider that back then. Again, the continuum theory and that we are somewhat flexible.
But then, there are those women who knew at 12.
When we married first, that gives us other issues to deal with when we come out including family members, spouse, children, in-laws, etc. When we come out as a single person, coming out at 40 is much different than coming out at 15. I guess that's up to each person to decide how difficult that is. Today, many high school students are open about their homosexuality - more girls than boys. As a matter of fact, I see girls exploring that possibility and talking about being gay before they are even sure - dating a girl once and next dating a boy. But unlike me, they are at least open to exploring both possibilities.
And we all have different coming out stories. I was in my 40's, but I have a long-term friend who still feels somewhat betrayed by me because I didn't tell her before about my "journey". I guess it was my choice not to tell people until I was making an outward display of my sexuality by dating women.

Lesbians are the Best

How is the lesbian world out there? I am good. I am getting better and better. How are you all feeling about the state of the world out there for the LGBT community. I have good days and then not so good days about the political state of the world or the United States.
I have commented in the past that I'm always disappointed when couples break up that have been together for a long time. I guess through others, we hope to watch our future play out. Many are fine with relationships coming and going, but I guess I'm a big of romantic in the whole together ever after. That wouldn't have been good for me, because I was married to a man and had children, and I never would have been as happy with him as I am now with a woman. For whatever reason, I did not enter a relation with a woman back then. Again, I do believe we move along that continuum re: our sexuality. And I believe at 18 I was perhaps more in the center and did fall in love with a man and 3 wonderful children and for many years for me, it has been all about women for relationships.
I have found that I relate best to women, and have always sought the emotional intimacy and have always had many women friends because of the emotional sharing. I have also been interested in spirtuality and this too has been shared with my women friends.
Are you into self-help and/or self-improvement? If so, you can go to this site. There are many opportunities offered here. Lesbian or not, our life takes a lot of gusto to keep going and to go forward. I have discovered in my work, that most people are not happy. I think sometimes we can do things in our life to make us happy. Make changes, improve, love ourselves and that equals better and happier relationships.

Lesbians after marriage.....

So I was delighted that Meredith Baxter Birney came out and is with her partner. I read more in People magazine the other day. A psychologist made a comment about it being more common for women to come out later in life as sexuality is not fixed in the brain, there can be flexibility in that process. I know for me, there has been a continuum, so to speak. Perhaps that explains those who know for sure that they are attracted to the same sex at the age of 12, while there are many who do not know until they are older. Is it conscious or unconscious. Is it merely circumstantial. I believe I will do a survey to this respect. I believe I have always been open and liberal about sexual preference and curious about homosexuality, but when I met my ex-husband in college, I was definitely attracted to him. But now, as an older women, I can appreciate good looking men, but have only been attracted to women.
