This was the response to a comment I made while having a conversation with a friend from my past who I recently reconnected with 3 days ago on Facebook. The conversation went something like this:
- Friend: You know I have been married 15 years now…
- Me: Oh really…I knew it had been a long time. Is marriage all you dreamed it would be?
- Friend: Marriage is good, but I am getting that 15 yr itch. My husband is too.
- Me: 15 year itch? I didn’t know there was such a thing. Are you bored with your marriage
- Friend: Not bored, just tired of the same old thing all the time. People grow and change.
- Me: Well that kinda equals bored to me. I personally knew that I wouldn’t ever go the traditional marriage route.
- Friend: Oh really? I thought you were gay. I hope I’m not getting to personal.
- Me: Oh no, you aren’t getting to personal…people have been speculating on my sexuality for years
I chose not to divulge details about my sexuality to this person mainly because we don’t have a personal relationship. My information to her would have been turned into gossip for the masses and I refuse to partake in ignorance. If you want to know who I am sleeping with, how bout you just ask and not throw it out there in some round about sort of way. It amazes me that people can become so interested in who someone is sleeping with when it is suspected that they are gay. I don’t make a habit of making an announcement of my sexuality. “Good Morning how are you doing…Oh, by the way, I’m a lesbian.”
Sometimes I really wish I could tell people that their ignorance is showing…your stupidity is falling out of your back pocket. *Just Saying*
