I am 36 yo. I have embraced that I am a lesbian...but please do not misunderstand that I am still confused.
Confused that the world will not just let me love w/o there being consequences.
I am protected being a lesbian only within the walls of my home. Once I walk outside the world, with it's many opinions and views and discrimations wants to fight me.
I struggle each day...not because I am a defined woman who loves women. But...I struggle because I have to deal w/ the hatred of many peoples fears.
I don't know why it is such a big deal w/ a Free World, whether someone is gay, lesbian, straight, bi. WE have so many freedoms and yet sexuality is not one of them.

I understand the challenge to come to terms with "who you are". And, no one but your self can define your sexuality. You can question, run polls, get other people to come forth with their struggles, their outings etc.

Although I am OUT, and Proud...as the saying does go...don't for one second think each day I don't ask Why? Why me?
