Musings after meeting with this adorable young heterosexual couple that wants to buy my house.

I am in Michigan right now trying to sell a home there. I have been showing it to people for several days now, and last night I got an offer from an adorable young heterosexual couple that came to look at it. (Yeah!!)

I was asking them questions about themselves, trying to determine their ability to handle the payments on the home when the young woman, "C" jumps in and says.

"I know people find this boring, but I just have to tell you about "T" and I. We met in High School when we were only 15. We were best friends and we really loved each other. We talked to each other about all our girlfriends and boyfriends, and then we promised each other that if we were not married to someone else by the time we were 25, we would marry each other."

I said "Hey, they made a movie about you two!" (my best friend's wedding)

She laughed and said. "Well we graduated, went off on our separate ways. I moved out of town for a few years, and when I moved back I got in contact with T again. It was love at first site for both of us."

He was smiling a huge smile while she was telling this story and chimed in "I love this girl so much!"

We talked over the terms we might accept. They were so sweet together and so excited to maybe be buying their first home.

A note about myself - I just love people who love each other and express their love for each other openly. I love happiness.

When the meeting was over I went out with them to their car. As they were walking, they put their arms around each other. They kept leaning in to each other, smiling and laughing with excitement. They were beautiful!

The whole point of this post is this. I enjoyed them so much! They brought their beauty into my life for those moments.

But I couldn't help wondering if a young queer couple would have felt as free to show their love for each other in front of me. Would they have tried to hide their feeling for fear that I would find some excuse to reject them as home buyers? And I couldn't help wonder if a straight person would have found as much joy in observing that love as I did with this young straight couple.

I long for a time when we can show our love and receive support and smiles in return.
Smooches,
Keri
