What If I Used To Be A Lesbian Would You Still Date Me?




While a number of people are now becoming more lenient towards gay people, there are still those who consider homosexuality a profanity. The Christian church has taught us that God only created male and female, and no in-betweens. Therefore, it is a sin to be neither. But sociologists tell us that gender is not acquired, it is learned. Although biology plays a major role in a person's development, society is just as vital. How do you expect a boy to grow up as man if all his life he has only been acquainted with girls? It's not really fair to ask someone to man up just because he has a penis. We all have the right choose. Besides, it's not like gay people are hurting anyone. How can this world get better if we have to judge everything we see that's out of the norm?

I was just surfing around the internet, when I found this touching article on glamour.com. It's about how a used-to-be-lesbian mustered all her courage to tell her boyfriend of her past life. Here's a snippet of what she said:

I asked him to just let me say everything I needed to and then he could say whatever he wanted. So I told him everything. I said it all, like everything I told you and all the details in between, too. It felt really good and also really scary. I tried to make it clear that I wasn't just curious or anything, that I really like him. And that I'm really attracted to him. I told him that all this is why I never really talk about my past relationships and my family. He stayed totally quiet and just listened to me.

After like an eternity of talking, I finally asked him what he was thinking. He has these light blue eyes and he just looks right into you. I was looking into them and I swear, I swear, this is exactly what he said: "As long as we're sharing, I'm in love with you." Full Story Here


After reading her story, I was just so happy that I had this big smile plastered on my face for a good 3 minutes. If you ask me, this is what I would call love. Love means loving someone in spite of her past. You love a person just for the way she is. Whether she was once a lesbian... is a lesbian... regardless of gender. You are not going to try and change that person just for your own selfish pleasure. Just because she was once gay that doesn't make her any different. She is still the same person you fell in love with.

So cheers to love and cheers to people’s right to choose!
