When we walk down the street, people turn their heads, I’d like to think it is because we make such a cute couple – though true – there is also the element of different. We went to a lesbian dive bar and I looked around at young and old women in context, kissing, touching, a butchy girl dancing with a very fey boy behind us, and I mused about how difficult it would be for a young woman, coming into her own, seeking her place in the universe, to find herself a lesbian and have her self actualization so hinged to that adjective – she couldn’t exist outside of it – and yet it provides one more layer to separate her from others. T said it was non-negotiable for her. Maybe that is best, when there is no choice, because faced with a choice, how many would go the route of marginalization?
What’s amazing to me is that it is all a contruction…
Yes, but try to deconstruct it and tell me what the parts look like…
easy, what we would see is people free to be, no adjectives, no marginalization, no labels. tenemos que hablar de todo esto que estas escribiendo, viendo, viviendo…
si – tienes que regresar para sentarnos en el “porch” hablando de todo.
