I just love women, everything about them. If it wasn't for this business of sexual attraction to men - generally - and MY man - specifically - I could see living out my days with a nice gal. I could picture us whipping up pineapple upside-down cake and reading "In Touch" together. For a hot minute I was all like "OMG I NEED A SISTER WIFE," but then I watched the show and realized that whole scenario is bogus.
But partnerships, though...those work really well. Men and men, women and men, women and women, etc. A partnership makes us feel secure, connected, protected, loved, giddy, cozy, strong, beautiful, and smart. I am a wonderful person without my man, yes, and I could take on the world without him, yes. But I am a better and more complete person with him. He brings out the purest sense of me and I, him. Man, I love this guy, even despite his total disregard for celebrity news, inability to bake, and disinterest in shoes.
I have chosen a man as my partner. The world approves of our union and the laws uphold our partnership.
I filter everything through my kids' eyes now though, and I try to picture the world when they become adults. I want desperately to know that if my son chooses a man as a partner, his marriage will be legitimate in the eyes of the law. Let's not get all bananas and throw The Lord into this discussion - that is a battle for someone else to fight - I am talking about a legal union, equal rights for gay and straight marriages alike.
We are getting there. Each new state that makes baby steps in the right direction makes me swell with pride. So much PRIDE.
