Who Am I?

Who am I?  I am a wonderful, beautiful caring lesbian princess and I don’t care what the world thinks of me.  Does it bother me that society refuses to accept  gays and lesbians because we are not ‘normal’ A or because our lifestyle is wrong? No it doesn’t, why should it? I am gorgeous and sexy and I bleed and hurt like ‘normal’ people. I enjoy the movies, shopping, drinking, bitching and hating just like everyone else but because I am a lesbian I am considered different and disgusting….why?

The stares and comments from ignorant people used to bother me to the point where I wanted NOT to be gay and I wanted to be like everyone else. This is so disappointing because I was letting society and the ignorance of others change who I was on the outside when on the inside I was still gay and wonderful and caring. And for what? Normal people bleed, cry, get their hearts broken, work and breathe just the same way I do. To deny who I am to be accepted into society is to deny my freedom. I will not let society dictate my way of living. My life is surrounded by people who love me, people who despise me and people who wonder why am I what I am.  I say to those people, look in the mirror and what do you see? If you see someone without flaws, problems, enemies or imperfections then you have the right to question and criticize me…if you don’t see perfection in the mirror,  then see me for what I am. See me as a person. See me as a human being with the same rights that you have. Don’t see me as a lesbian or a sinner or whatever label you wish to put on me. That is not me.  I am ME!!  Me, the wonderful, caring and beautiful soul that I am. That you cannot take away. You can try but I won’t let you.

I have feared you, I have avoided you and I have shunned my friends and peers for you….Not anymore!  I live for me and I live for those who never had the chance to stand up for themselves and enjoy the gift of living a wonderful life. Hey, the world is big enough to share with serial killers, child molesters, greedy corporate executives, drug dealers and other unmentionable characters, then it sure as heck is big enough to share with me.  So knock that ‘ignorant chip’ off your shoulders and hear me, see me and let me be just like I let you be.

Life is wonderful and beautiful and too short to fight something or someone who is not doing you any harm. Is it so difficult to live and let live?  I don’t think so.

Who am I? I said it before and I will say it again…I am a wonderful, beautiful caring lesbian princess and I am here to stay.
