I don't have penis envy
I'm not into girls because I can't find a guy
I don't need or want a man to fuck me straight
I am not an abomination
It won't turn your daughter gay to be my friend
I don't kiss women to turn guys on
I'm not hot for every woman I see
I'm not leering at you in the locker room
I don't have sex with every woman who asks
I don't hate men
I have male friends, cousins, a father whom I love
I don't like men who objectify me because I like women
I'm a person, just like you
I'm a sister, a daughter, an aunt
I'm me, Thalia
I like music, and I like to write
I like to bake, and I like to hang out with my niece and nephew
I like watching movies and being a friend
I'd like to find a lady who's kind of easygoing
A friend who turns into a lover
Someone I can talk with late into the night
I'm looking for the same thing as many of you
I'm looking for someone to share my life with
Someone I can take care of, and who will take care of me
I'm kind of a romantic, waiting for my princess to sweep me off my feet
Will she be a cowgirl or a businesswoman or more the artistic type
I just hope she doesn't wait too long to find me
I hope that those of you who took the time to read this can see
I'm not a stereotype
There to be objectified or demonized
I'm a lesbian
But I'm a person first
My name is Thalia
Don't stereotype me
~Thalia~
Well said, Thalia.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think you're a lovely person. I'm very glad I got to know you!
I agree with Jessica, you said it well. I can sense your anger and frustration. Stereotypes do nobody a damn bit of good.
ReplyDeleteI don't get how people can ASSume that every gay person is the same, but at the same time assume that every heterosexual person is unique.
ReplyDeleteMy brother Adam, for instance, is a bit flamboyant. He likes to wear colorful clothes. He has a fondness for Hawaiian shirts.
Adam's husband Dylan tends to look very G.Q. His manner is much more understated than Adam's.
Every human being is unique. Stereotypes suck.
You're wonderful, Thalia. Keep being you!
