Yes, I am being completely misread! No doubt, by those who don't know me or my sense of humor. I am very easy to read in person and have a big heart (and a playful heart too) and never, and I can say never, have the misreads and misunderstandings live that I have had in this thread. When I am finally able to completely respond to post in here, I think much of that will be cleared up. Granted those who feel just as strong about their opinions as I do mine, we may have to come to a place of agreeing to disagree. Even though we disagree with each other doesn't mean we can't share a laugh and still be friends. I can be a very serious person and still like to laugh and make others laugh, even when being serious, it cuts the tension. There is no room for hate, at least not in my world and I wish others felt the same way!

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I truly love ALL Lesbians, I have been dating a Lesbian Femme for the last 5 months, I have ex-girlfriends over the last 20 years who are Lesbians, many many friends who I love and adore who are Lesbians and I was a Lesbian for 10 years. Sometimes my Mom is a Lesbian Femme, when she's not idenifying as Bi-sexual, LoL. I don't always agree with Lesbians and their POVs, hence the discussion in this thread.

I am a very passionate and outspoken person, in person as well as online. I also take very seriously when others wrongly judge and mistreat others. It is very upsetting for me to watch and I will be responding to that when I return.
