” I’m probably never gonna be able to walk down the street holding hands with my lover without the rest of the world giving us a look. I may never have the wedding that I once dreamed of and I may never have anymore children, or I may lose the one that I already have. And one day when I die, people will never give as much respect to my grieving lover as if she were my grieving husband.”

Equality and rights for all… thats what I wanted my first article to be about. Life may not always be fair and some people can be cruel, but with enough people fighting and enough people caring, in my opinion, things can and will change.

People think that we as lesbians don’t have as many problems as most gay men, but they are wrong. We fight for rights just as much as they do and in so cases not only get excluded from the hetrosexual community but we also get excluded from the homosexual community. We need to stand up and fight for our rights in all aspects of life. Equality for everyone is what I want regardless of how you classify yourself.. Gay, Straight, Bi, Lesbian, Butch, Femme, Bear, Queer, or Queen! Learn to love yourself and soon others can not get you down!
