Loveregardless: Thank you. You are a poet, those were beautiful words. I believe the same thing; what you said about the human soul. I did fall in love with my husband's soul, which is neither male nor female. And you are right they are just words that can't explain what we feel perfectly. However, we do need them to communicate.

Grithnir: Congratulations on your relationship! =) I don't think that 7 is a young age to know you are gay. I realized after I realized I had homosexual feelings when I was 13 (when I learned what they were), that I had crushes on a few of my girl friends as early as 8 years old. Then I realized I didn't find any of these male celebrities attractive that all the girls my age were having major crushes over, but I liked the female celebrities. I came out when I was 14, only because my mother read something I had wrote, that was supposed to be private. Then my whole family found out. My mom went to my ex-girlfriend's apartment, cursed her out, and told her she was ruining my life. Then her mother came outside. That's when my ex-girlfriend had to come out to her family. My mother eventually put me in a psychiatric hospital because of it and forbid me to see my then girlfriend, although I did anyway. Obviously, my family didn't take it very well, and that caused me a lot of problems. But my ex-girlfriend is still my best friend to this day. Ironically now, my mother doesn't like my husband at all, she won't even talk to him.

However, anyway my husband came to into my life at a time I needed him and he needed me even more. He asked me out thousands of times. I kept saying no at the beginning not only because months before I had just gotten out of an abusive relationship, but also because I wanted the next one to be the one I would spend my life with and I wanted that to be a woman. However, since I was friends with him for over a year before, I knew him as a person. I loved him so much then as my friend, and I realized the physical didn't matter as much. I loved his soul, I couldn't turn him away just because he was a man. After all, we're only in these physical bodies for so long.
