I'll be honest... I used to be extremely weirded out by lesbian and gay.
It took me years and years to get to the point I am at now but back then I didn't get it. Back in 2006 I met a gay guy who wasn't openly gay but I can tell there's something off. He was funny as hell so after a while I accepted the idea that gay guys are funny. Then later on I met more gay guys that were openly gay and they are so emotional and have so much drama. I can connect to them as a woman and they were of course funny.
When I met the first openly gay woman, it was at work. At the time I was close minded to gay/lesbian marriage but work is work I will have to process paper if people get married. She was a senior person and she was afraid of being judged for getting married to another woman even though she was leaving. It was late at work and no one was there except for me so since I'm a friendly and social person I was talking to her, finding out about her issues and problems and it opened my mind that "wow, as close minded as I am, I am still compassionate to her cause." So in a way it helped me to be accepting of her.
Just last year, I went to a new workplace... I met a lesbian girl who's married to a woman (with 2 kids). I was really weirded out but she was like a dude. She was really funny and she never trusted me because she said that I was insincere (my smile was), lol. I am a genuine, but I couldn't hide the fact that I was kind of weirded out at first, so after a while my smile became a joking smile that was too much lol, and I think she played along. Anyway, I ended up thinking she was cool. When we got drunk, it was non-stop laughter, just like gay guys, she's funny. I became more accepting.
Around the same time, I met a girl, she asked me if I was straight. I looked at her and said, "Damn straight as an arrow." So she said, "I just like to ask because people tend to assume for me." I'm like, okay cool. Then I thought about it and ...it all came to me. She's bi??? Anyway, I couldn't straight up ask her at the time so me and a friend ended up prodding around and got the answer from her during lunch time. She was pretty straightforwar
d saying that she's Bi.
Anyway... I was kind of weirded out hanging out with her. I liked her as in she's a nice and caring person, but how can a girl like both guys and girls, I didn't get it. And I think by her body language, she was kind of "flirting" with me? I mean, who licks their lips while talking to another person. Who looks at another person in a super caring tender way. She said she thought I was cute when she first met me. And one day I looked at her and she squeaked with glee, "ee, your eyes are so cute." Huh? It was weird. I was so weirded out I would be kind of an **** in a joking manner. After a while she didn't look at me the same and she didn't talk to me licking her lips the same way. LOL. I am not sure if she liked me at the beginning but it seems that way. Anyway, we work really well together and I found out she's a pretty hardworking and such a nice person that I wanted to help her out. So after a while, I became more sympathetic toward her cause and accepted her the way she is. Now I can accept Bi's.
I haven't met a tranny yet... I don't know how I can keep handling these situations but it's real. And I think ultimately, how people chose to love doesn't matter, as long as they are good people, it's whatever. They all seem to be pretty cool people so what do I care. I don't know what else to say but be who you are and love yourself. I'm straight and my life is pretty hard, lol, I can't imagine how hard it is but you'll find the right people/person.
I joke around a lot but I'm always free to talk.
