Reclaiming Lesbian Pride

Julie · 08-07-2011, 02:09 PM

I celebrate my Lesbian Pride and my Lesbian Heritage.
There is, nor was there ever anything for me to reclaim.
I never gave it UP!

Even when The Lesbians called me a traitor for marrying my best friend who happened to be a gay man and attempted to throw me out of the "Club."

It is quite simple for me... As a Lesbian who LOVES Masculine Butches and only dates Masculine Butches -- I am a Lesbian.

If I were to get in an accident tomorrow and unable to move my body or feel sensation - Never again to be touched or touch another. Or if I were to choose to never date again.

I would still be a Lesbian!

Who you fuck - Who you play with - Who you date - Who you associate with...

Has nothing to do with personal identity.

I am Julie
I am a Lesbian
I am a Femme
I am a Woman
I am a Mother
I am a Daughter
I am a Partner
I am a Friend

None of the above descriptors can ever be taken away -- And again... For me.
Nothing to reclaim.
I came out in 1979 as a Lesbian and I will die a Lesbian!

In all honesty, I am sick and tired of people placing constraints on ones identity. You can't be a lesbian - your hair is too long. You can't be a lesbian, you have long nails. You can't be a lesbian, you dress like a man. You can't be a lesbian, you are out of a 50's housewife movie.

Who says?
