So You Think You Want To Be Gay?

Same-sex relationships are not always rainbows and unicorns.

So You Think You Want To Be Gay?

Imagine this: you've had yet another fight with your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, baby daddy or your baby mama, you're at your wits end and you think, "My life would be so much easier if I were gay!" Because being with a the same sex puts you at an advantage since they know what you like and women are sensitive and men are strong and bold...well you're wrong. I'm here to tell you that gay relationships are just as crazy, if not crazier than heterosexual ones.

Not only do we fight about the same things: money, kids, work, sex, chores, doing this or doing that, we (women) are emotionally driven creatures, you get two women who are PMS'ing and you better watch out! It turns in to the next world war in this house. We have jealous moments and senseless arguments, we feel inadequate at times, just like a straight couple would after a fight. We have regrets about our past relationships or sexual encounters, there are decisions we wish we had made when it came to exes just like the straights.

There is also the hidden community of domestic violence within same-sex relationships that people don't think can happen, but a woman can be just as manipulative and terrifying to another woman, and a man can beat the heck out of another man and be just as violent as, if not more, than a straight couple. Not everything is rainbows and unicorns like some things would have you believe. Actually, I wish that it was, it would make things a lot easier sometimes.

We gays, deal with the same amount, if not more drama than straights too. Have you ever argued with a gay boy? Think about this. Have you ever been confronted by a butch girl? If you have then you have written the rest of this article, if you haven't let me try to explain. There are some queens out there that are sassier than the sassiest girl you know, and there are some butches out there that can give the biggest man a run for his money. Basically, don't let looks fool you.

In spite of all of this, there is love and when it is uninhibited, just like any love, it is perfect. It can be magical rainbows and unicorns. It can be successful, we have families and friends who we love too. Everything works out, it just so happens that we love the same sex. Which isn't as big of a deal as it used to be, but there are still the skeptics, well to those who question our lives, just know that it's not always easy, but we do what makes us happy.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
