[Introduction]



One of the things that make me unique is the fact that I am indeed a lesbian. And as a part of the rainbow community, I experience things that others generaly do not have to experience their entire life.
Coming out is always an issue for those who grow up in a close-minded home...and unfortunately, I was one of those people. Coming out to my mother...and then having my father find out via Myspace, those were some of the most terrifying moments I have ever had to live through.

I felt disgusting as I was trying to figure out who I really was, and why my interest in men was so lacking compared to my other female friends. And I fought with myself time-and-time again when I would crush on the hot new transfer student who always got placed right beside me.

These are just a few of the things that I have been through, and these are just a few of the more minor things that have caused me complications within society.

Along with the things mentioned above, there was also the whole prop 8 thing...where the whole high school was ripped apart by those who thought gay marriage should be banned forever (and everywhere) and those who believed in equal rights (because love is love...and the united states is a country where church and state are supposed to be separated).
I cried for weeks (for I was engaged at the time), because slowly I was being denied my rights to be with the woman that I loved.

So these are my trials, these are my thoughts, these are my experiences uncensored.
This is my voice.
Welcome to my Rainbow World.
