Faith! - don't forget the voice, I love her voice, and the way she moves when she fights, she looks like she can really kick ass. And her body is just lovely and curvy.
It's funny you said about the pro-gay making people think you were gay - because, same thing with me! My sister told me my parents actually called her, worried, wondering if I was gay - simply because I was pro-gay rights combined with the fact I never tell them about boyfriends.
Other people too have made that comment, a lot at highschool, got harassed for it. And like you say, it's absolutely ridiculous for so many reasons.
I like a private life, especially when talk of boyfriends etc just lead to 'when are you getting marrried?' and frankly, it's tiresome, so I don't talk about it. I mention it on lj, and that's about it.
You've been really brave with it all, and your friends and family sound like good people. Even if some find it hard to understand, it doesn't sound like they would ever contemplate being anything but loving towards you.
Even if they think it's an 'experiment', the fact they're accepting it is just fantastic. You hear some awful stuff about family/friends turning on their own. Yeah, doubting your sincerity/judgement on it is not great, but it might be just time they need to wrap their heads around it.
I've had arguments, raged, had relationships in limbo for weeks over things like this, and I'm now cynical enough that I tend to say as little as possible about a lot. Not to say my people aren't loving too, it's just - people will make up their own minds, fair enough, and no amount of 'discussion' gets through sometimes. It can be upsetting, and I don't have the energy for it anymore.
The one thing I do speak up about is when my nephews get told prejudiced/divisive things, even if it's their parents doing the telling. That makes me flare up, and I forget all about my 'cool distance' thing. Example: The fact you're not good at playing football with them, sis? Not because you're a girl. The fact I'm playing football pretty damn well with them should give a clue.
Sorry! Cool distance - *g* - yeah, right.
And good afternoon to you!:)- I slept so late and I feel like a zombie! I'm not a night owl, although I am occasionally insomniac, and it's a sunny day and I should be going out but I'm just dead from the late night.
