Description
Why do you hate me so?
I love just the same as you,
Maybe even more or better.
My love never ends,
Never deteriorates with time.
Endless,
Unlike that which you express to her,
Or dont express.
My affection is pure,
My touch is the same as yours,
If not more devoted.
You love a woman,
As do i
Does the word lesbian intimidate you?
Or do the acts? The love?
Dykes are people too.
Hell? There's no such thing
When you express passion like I do.
I was put here for a reason...
To love women.
I'm doing it better than you.

The one thing that gets to me the most is homophobics. I wrote this when i though about a family get together that i would have to see the biggest homophobe i've ever known. it sucks when they are so close to you.

It's hard, I know. But you are not alone babes, and they will one day be forced to look at us with new eyes and without the blinders of hate.

About the only thing I cannot tolerate is intolerance. Bigotry is the bane of our lives ... and you have attacked this horror in the best way possible - by expressing your feelings so competently.

You really nailed your message with this: "I was put here for a reason... / To love women. / I'm doing it better than you." ___ I've only known 1 lesbian IRL and a bunch of woman who classify themselves as bi-sexual, I have had far more gay male friends over the years and I've always been open-minded re: ppl being able to love as they choose. Good work!

Excellent written piece. Imho, people hate for all kinds of reasons, sadly: The type of politics you practice, the music you like, your practicing religion, your skin color, your sexual preferences, etc. The list goes on and on and on. Try not to let the 'jerks' affect ya' so much ("Never let them see ya' sweat" - WINK).

Thank you everyone for leaving me a message. These messages mean more to me than you will ever know! Thank you for the encouragement.

I was a homophobe once, and then I really got to know a few, and realized that gays were people too. I am ashamed of my ignorance, and I hope that everyone can really get to know each other.

I'm bi and female. I've married twice, two children with the first and my second husband is 27 and I'm 52. I've had a female lover and adore the softness and contours of a female body. I could not deal with her emotional neediness. She was divorced for the second time and dating men. I introduced her into playing and found that I served to open her closet door. We even gave my husband the thrill of every straight man: a threesome! But, she wanted a female 'husband' and I wanted a female 'girlfriend' and since then, although we are still friends, I stay away from female relationships. I am a strong woman (forced to be under abusive circumstances all my life) and cannot deal with the emotional needs of a female. I prefer an equal, yet feminine. I like my men to be men and my women to be women and never the two shall cross. I have many gay male friends with relationships going on 20 years, but the lesbian community is not something I have been capable of embracing or being embraced by. Live and let live! Bravo for your piece!

Interesting phrasing: "Dykes are people too." To me this was like listening to one half of an argument taking place. Was this your intention? Thank you for opening yourself up like this and sharing it. But be careful, too much of this and you'll have to change your moniker! You sound very sure of yourself! wink

I started to comment on this yesterday but so many memories came up and I had to step back for a bit....my husband's brother chose to end his life by shotgun on his 40th birthday....his mother's words cut his heart in 2, 'Chuckie, your not gay, find the right woman, settle down and start a family'....sad....homophobia has tragic results in life

Prejudices in what ever shape and for are difficult to live with. It is a shame when they are in your home.
