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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
