Girl of many faces does not choose to feel love for her female best friend. I have never felt what she feels and I recognize the experience she reports as something I will never go through. I have lovely girlfriends who are important to me but I have never felt love for them the way GOMF does. This is because I am strictly straight and have been so since age 7 according to my recollections and since age 3 according to my mother's recollections. I have not chosen to be straight, just as trees do not choose to grow and just as GOMF does not choose to feel love for her female friend. Exactly as trees's growing.
