i appreciate that very much auntiemel.it's weird, though -- it's not because i feel like folks are homophobic or don't like me because i'm gay. it's because so many people talk about their "hubbies" and i can't imagine ever having or wanting one. it baffles the heck out of me, and not in a good way. part of it is that i'm mad/upset/bewildered that so many women are straight, because it's makes it hard to find love for a lesbian. it's kind of hard to explain. could be whole long thread unto itself, and a tricky one at that.
i wish it were true that gender didn't matter. but i know what you mean. it *shouldn't* matter, i suppose.
