it is a term used loosely, imo. i agree with the concept because people fear what they don't understand. and fear can breed other emotions...resentment, intolerance, hatred, etc. and i only have a problem when people try to disrupt or disrespect my life. my sister doesn't agree with my sexuality...but everyone has their own opinion and i don't try to force mine on her. i don't consider her homophobic. and even though i know she doesn't agree with my sexuality, she accepts me, loves me, and has often acted as a buffer between my parents and i.

i've always been a tomboy. i've only had one boyfriend, and he was like a best friend, not a boyfriend. we played ball together and played cards for pushups. he broke up with me after four months because he said i was gay...before i really knew myself. i mean, i'm able to find dudes attractive...but i have no desire to have any kind of sexual contact with them. i've never had sex with a man and never wanted to. so i would assume i was born gay. that whole debate is kind of irrelevant to me tho. the fact is i'm a lesbian.

people always wanna compare some shit. there are many similarities but i accept the differences. but discrimination is discrimination to me. point blank. and i'm in both of the struggles.
