L Word ain’t got nothing on the Bayou Word

Word up! Lots of upheaval on the bayou as girls girls girls are all shifting places at the dinner table. These things happen – but three couples splitting at one time seems to signal a realignment. The propensity towards promiscuity and instability was what I noticed about this small Lesbian community and it was/is disconcerting to say the least. Not to say that Lesbians are more or less promiscuous or unstable than heterosexuals or gays, but it just seemed to be poignant in this small crowd. The good news is that change happens for a reason and there is no real reason to remain coupled without a strong desire to want to be together. Relationships are not a cake walk – all around me are decade-plus relationships that are on tenterhooks – I’m not sure what makes me more anxious: the death watch of the ten-year members or the musical chairs of the nascent – I know I’m in the throes of my honeymoon phase but I believe in the 50-year potential. Our story wouldn’t make for good audience ratings on Showtime – girl meets girl, falls in love, lives 50 years in bliss – but hey, we don’t need an audience now, do we?
