I think you've misunderstood me. Maybe in the grand scheme of things, there will be a cure. Maybe it's very possible and will be around soon, even. But at this moment in time it is immutable, it is something you can't change with any methods currently available. So self acceptance, even if it's only until a cure comes along, is the only thing that makes sense. What's the point of hating it bitterly when there's nothing you can do to change it? I suppose you could go into the field of human sexuality and psychology and try to change it yourself if you wanted to, but apart from that, the only thing you can control are your actions - you can't not have that attraction to begun with at this moment in time. I try to make it a point in my life to not be bitter about circumstances I have no control over, and never have had any control over. Hatred simply takes up too much mental space in my opinion.

Honestly you seem more than a little bitter and every interaction I've seen you have comes off that way to some degree. My purpose wasn't to try and argue with you and you're entitled to your own view of homosexuality, however negative. I'm sorry you've had bad experiences. I've also struggled with mental health a lot, specifically an eating disorder and depression. I've been hospitalised for it. So I understand where you're coming from, it's just that I don't personally consider my sexuality to be an ailment or a negative. Nor a positive. The way the world reacts sucks sometimes, but I've never considered my sexuality itself to be the problem. I hope you find peace and a cure if there ever is one though. The only issue with that would be if it's ever forcibly given, but people should absolutely have the choice.

Cure is wrong term for something that isn't a disease. It's like wanting to cure having blue eyes. And seriously I doubt all people are homophobic. They don't understand you, the same way as you don't understand them and this put a wall between you and most of the world, especially because, as you said, there is too much sex obsession in our culture, I wish it was more discrete like in the past, but that isn't the same as saying that everybody think you're a perv. And to be fair, I fail to relate to good part of lesbian community too. Moral of the story, being a lesbian is cool, actually, because staying with women is great and I seriously pity straight women sometimes. Being a little minority can suck, you feel ignored and not understood, but you just have to find a few people you can relate, you don't need most of the world.
