Why is it when someone finds out about the sexual orientation of another, being gay becomes his/her identity? I Don't understand the need to say 'this is my friend who is gay'. That's as nuts as introducing someone as a straight friend? Why are people so hung up on what goes on in the bedroom of certain people? Perhaps such a fantasy is the most excitement he/she is getting?
When asked to described myself, I usually say things like this: I'm a penny pincher, I try to be kind to people, I try to meet the needs of others, I do my best to be honest and upfront, I enjoy the water and most everything to do with water, I have blue eyes, I'm a very loyal person and a few other things along that line. I'm not sure I've ever started a conversion by announcing my sexual preferences.
How many people do you walk up to and ask 'by the way, are you straight?' If you're anything like me the answer is probably none. So why the need to ask 'are you gay'?
So here it is: I'm Melanie; a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a grandchild, a friend, an American, an Ohioan and a facebook addict. I believe in God, do my best to love like Jesus and enjoy going to church when I get the chance.
