Accept yourself
We all have certain dreams, aspirations and choices to make during our lives. They may or may not be realised and things we have never even considered may become our actuality. These include changing occupations, moving cities… blah blah blah… but most significantly, who we fall in love with.
Some of my friends have made me realise that many people still consider the perfect life as when a woman falls in love with a man, has a good job and has children. Whenever I think of this stereotype I imagine the 1950s household…. -˜a good wife always makes sure dinner is ready for when her man gets home from a hard day’s work’. Now this is great for some people. I’m sure the 40 plus per cent of people who divorced their spouse think it is the best option as well.
Yet why do so many lesbians think the only way to be truly happy is to be with a man? I must state here and now, that this is not an article from a man-hating lesbian, but a simple reminder that we do not need to be straight to have the life we’ve always wished for.
Sure, we all know women are insane and many relationships are more dramatic than the storylines in Days of Our Lives. But I don’t believe that anyone, whether straight or gay, should limit themselves to label the perfect life as being that of a man and a woman, with two children and a picturesque house with a white picket fence.
Who cares who you love? Men are stupid and women are crazy so just take your pick. If you find one you actually like then you’re truly blessed. Who cares if you do or don’t want children? This is a choice for you and your partner, no one else.
The point to all this rambling is very brief -” if people can’t accept that they are gay and can be happy in a relationship then how can all those people opposing the idea learn to accept it? So ignore the stereotypes, make your own perfect life and hopefully one day there won’t be an -˜acceptance’ towards gay relationships, there will just be gay relationships.
Accept yourself, embrace your life, embrace your woman, stop your bitching and just be happy.
