Guccilvr,
I respect where you are coming from and i appreciate you expressing your opinion . . .
You're saying 'i completely see what onesnowyowl is saying and you see her points about the silence' . . . and Yet, you don't actually seem to have a grasp on this momevement for equality or the G.L.B.T. community . . .
You asked, What other issues does this group face??
Where do you want me to start??? There's a damn long list that most people don't even know about . . .
So here's mine, off the top of my head, from today:
double standards at work . . . the fact that i am forced to hide my sexuality at work . . . yes, of course, that IS an issue for me.
The fact that for many companies, getting health benefits for their partners is near impossible even with a civil union.
The fact that at in almost all situations i cannot mention my sexuality or my girlfriend. . . when others can speak freely about their spouses . . .
If you've ever hidden something that is an essential part of who you are because it didn't fit into something else's box . . . look at it from that perspective.
I'm not looking to wave a flag and go around everywhere saying 'i'm bisexual' and put that fact in people's faces . . . i would just like to be free to mention that part of my life every now and then like everyone else does, that's it
thanks,
Sweetpea
