True honesty

"I want to be honest but not hurtful" - Portia de Rossi

I can love again

It's been almost a year since my last post. Many things happened.

But one thing I noticed significant, I can love again.

Love, a feeling I never thought I could feel again. But it happened, again :D

Even if it's unrequited love, I'm still happy to now "I can love again"

Reverse discrimination

An interesting comment from Paulo Coelho's blog:

My sister once said to me in almost a whisper “Ive met someone, shes awesome and beautiful and funny, but shes a girl, what should I do?” And I quoted her from a book that I truly identify with:

In todays society its so easy to label and judge people, its so easy to throw away what doesnt work or is too much work, but what about love? If you are lucky enough to find someone to love and by magical luck they love you back, then you should cherish it because love, REAL love is very hard to find.

And so she did, she followed her heart and fought to dispell so much of the prejudice that still sadly exists in today’s society, that gay people are perverts, that gay love is not normal, that it goes against nature. The relationship ran its natural course and my sister sent me another email “Oh my God! Ive met a guy I like, I dont understand, Im gay at least I thought I was, maybe Im bi? What should I do?” This time I quote myself, from what she taught me:

You are not gay or bi or any other label society wishes to throw at you. You are who you are, you didn't confirm to what society expected when you entered into a homosexual relationship, why would you be limiting yourself now? Its reverse discrimination. It comes down to love…. we love people for who they are, not what label they happen to be wearing.

It's "reverse discrimination" I love this term.
