Who needs same-sex marriage when we have . . . ourselves?

Again, they think homosexuality is a fetish and operates like a paraphilia because they are fetishists and project that onto us. I think some of them do think there’s a community of experience there and it’s annoying and infuriating, but also sad. They must think we’re lying about the nature of homosexuality and concealing it from the general public.

In reality, if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve lived through distinct phases of the gay rights movement, I would never find anything notable about my same sex attraction. I have crushes, romantic and sexual encounters, and relationships that are mostly in line with those of heterosexual couples. The only differences in experience are based in the biological realities associated with us both being of the female sex and dealing with concerns that only come up because of societal stigma. I do from time to time think, “I couldn’t be doing this mundane thing right now in a different point in history or different place in the world right now” and “I’m that thing those people warned people about” and it feels like such a weird thing for anyone else to get upset about.
