I just opened up to a crowd full of people, and not forcefully. They asked for my educated opinion on the topic of same-sex marriages, in which I replied, “I don’t know, I’ll let you know when I get married…”
All noise vacated the room.
The infiltration of silence, and noiseless words, had begun murmuring in the minds of many respected adults. Suddenly, within mili seconds, the volume increased, and the commentary was now audible. The mindless chatter took me by the throat, and I felt nausea’s quite, but evoking tug in my stomach. The inception to a war. I loaded my gun, and I never fired. I almost never fire.
“Oh, we didn’t know..You’re…you…you just don’t look like… a dyke… you know.., but hey, we’ve seen you with tons of guys.. I’m sorry, I’m so confused..” These comments came from the younger of the crowd, not to imply that age is indicative to knowledge. “Well, like most things, life is a series of tests. Since our inception, we are tested. Whether it’s adhering to the words of a mother and father, or becoming tested academically by our teachers, we have choices to make. Some wrong. Some right. I never understood the need to -Ace it all- After all, I learned mostly from the fuck-ups. Before I get off track, I have been engaged with men before. Men are awesome creatures. They’re beautiful too. However, there’s something about a woman, that resonates within. I am my best when I am around someone of the same sex. It’s comes naturally. It has been a long test, but I’m finally looking at the results. I can’t say that it’s the FINAL exam in my life, because I don’t think LIFE has FINAL EXAMS. You can never stop learning. So, what I would say to you is, be as open as you possibly can, without letting assholes label you. Analyze, and dance in all your questions of life, because without any multiple choice questions, there isn’t a choice to be made. It is only mandatory that you select what’s solely in front of you, if you aren’t provided options.
You see, unlike school, life has this funny thing where you’re in fact the instructor. We’re all teachers. Sure, we have to adhere to various leaders, and that’s both positive and negative. But people miss the part where if you’re unable to educate yourself, and create tests for your self, you are simply waiting for the opportunity to learn-to be tested by others. 50 years from now, I want nothing more than to be arm and arm with the human being that I love. And whoever it is, I’ll know we’ll both strive for only the genuine- A pursuit of passion, and answers. We’ll both be educators, and we’ll be students to each other. I’ll never stop being an educator, just as long as life allows me to be the student too.”
All silence vacated the room.
..Yes, heterosexual world, even in the gay world (I say that loosely, because in actuality, we’re all one in ONE world) THERE ARE various facets in the LGBT community
Regarding Lesbians…
The common misconceptions are as followed: Oh, you’re a lesbian? You’re too pretty!- Implying that Lesbians have to be the antithesis of pretty, ergo ugly. That’s not only wrong, but very offensive, and highly ignorant of obvious contact with various kinds of Lesbians. Various kinds? Whatever do you mean? Well, pretty also has a feminine connotation, therefore, you’re implying that all Lesbians must be masculine. This is NOT the case. Fuck ALL the generalizations, and REALIZE, that gay people are JUST like straight people. If you put aside the fucking label, you REALIZE, it is nothing more than a sexual preference. That’s all. So Lesbians, go shopping, paint your nails, wear frilly pink bows in your salon dried hair!! Gays, go be the captain of the football team, soccer team, or strut around in your macho bravado. (Hopefully you ex out the bravado…) OR Lesbians, go kick every guy’s ass out on that field, own a set of power-tools, OR Gays, wear bright colors, shop with your gals, and be the lead in the next theatre hit! If people could just…REALIZE that those attributes, and activities aren’t indicative to who someone sleeps with at night, the world wouldn’t be so shocked with the breaking of stereotypes. I AM a part of the LGBT community. I am a woman. And I adore shopping, and all that girly shit, and if I didn’t, who the fuck cares? Once again, I hate labels, but there are some out there that are paving the way for the ignorant. Labels are like the training wheels I guess. Overused and you’re stunting your growth, but a little help won’t hurt. Here are some INFORMATIVE, and helpful labels that describe the various realities of Lesbianism. We have: Femme or Lipstick Lesbian- These lovely ladies are the shopaholics and make-up divas! These gals, despite popular belief, In my opinion, have it the hardest. (Maybe I’m a little biased…Don’t hate me..) They’re constantly ignored in the LGBT community, on account of “appearing” heterosexual. Why? because of the fucking generalization that has been set. Ergo, forcing them to come out of the closet, time and time again to multiple confused audiences, mostly horny aggressive men. (Hi-It’s exhausting.) Chapstick Lesbian- Is seemingly androgynous, and is often referred to as a “soft butch” They have that adorable boyish charm. They’re casual, and simple. Blue Jean Femme- These ladies identify with Femmes, or being feminine, but are more casual and less high maintinance, then our Lipsticks. Soft Butch- These are almost synonymous with your Chapstick Lesbians, but generally appear a bit more masculine. Sport Dyke- (I’m personally not a fan of this one, specifically because I do not care for the term “dyke”, but anyway) This is a Lesbian who lives, breathes, and cherishes SPORTS. Nothing surprising there. Butch- A women who basically adopts all the masculine traits, and identifies more masculine in her own way. Stone Butch- A stone butch are what society likes to typically classify ALL kinds of Lesbians under. They are the most masculine appearing, and …. to put it mildly, like giving… and not….receiving.. NOW, these next few terms can involve any of the terms I described above. Gold Star Lesbian- A Lesbian (of any kind) who has never slept with a man, and vows not to ever do so. Hasbian- A hasbian, is a woman who identified as a Lesbian, and has now decided she is not one anymore, or rarely, decides that bisexuality is better suited for her. Labels are to inform the people incapable of merely accepting everyone, and seeing past the stereotypes. Again, they’re just training wheels, now go out there and ride that bike! Don’t sit on a cold sidewalk and refuse to move somewhere in this life. Ignorance will only take you so far. Acceptance and an open mind gets you places. I hope anyone who is reading this, recognizes the talent, beauty, and wisdom that the woman above, so artistically expressed. Take it to heart, no matter who you rather sleep with. Again, It’s just sex at the end of it all. (Isn’t most things?) Straight Men, if your guy friend wants to bang another guy friend, doesn’t that just make more ladies available for you? AND Straight Women, same rule applies! Besides that small, and egocentric approach, realize that everyone is entitled to roll around in the sheets with who they fucking want! And hey, maybe one day, even fall in love. I didn’t mean to sound harsh, I’m just so passionate with the advancement of human rights. I am aware that there are TONS of heterosexual people who are MORE than accepting. I also understand that there are TONS of LGBT people who can be bigoted. Let’s just put an end to bigotry and hatred. Please, it’s so tacky! Remember, never judge a book by its cover. Open up. There’s a story inside. -RPepper
