I was watching opera today, not necessarily a show I watch often but today it grabbed my attention. It was talking about being gay. It’s a subject (like most) that isn’t uncomfortable for me to talk about or give my opinion about. I always joke that “gayness” runs in my family lol. I know several people, my mom and most awesomeness cousin in the world are just a couple people that are close to me. Everyone has their own opinion about this subject and I’m ok with that (minus the whole “gays will burn in hell”) in my opinion if you speak of hell then you believe in heaven, if you believe in heaven then in some way you have god in your life and if that’s the case then you should know that god is loving of all. No need to remind you that he is all forgiving either because he does not need to forgive gay’s since I feel it’s not a sin. Your fear should not be excuses for ignorance…..ok I’ve gotten off subject. I did not want this to go to far into the religious aspect of being gay. On Opera they had two married couples on set. One whom were married for 5 years, conceived two children and the 6th year into marriage the women admitted to her husband that she was gay, then ironically enough the husband reveled to his wife that he supported her because he thought he might be gay as well. What are the odds?! Actually, there relatively high. Now the second couple had been married several years, two kids. The wife saw the show that the first couple originally was on telling their story and the wife, being a physiatrist, said she didn’t buy the fact that they went their whole marriage never knowing the secrets that the two held from one another. A year after seeing the show the second wife went to a resort of some sort and immediately found herself being attracted to a women she had just met. Never having these feelings before she was very confused. She then went home, told her husband and ironically enough he said he supports her because he had been having the same feelings towards other men for several years. He too was gay. It got me thinking, what if the first lady really was gay, her denial and want for a suburban, family life lead her to marriage and motherhood where she kept the secret till she could no longer mask her true self. What if the second lady wasn’t gay? What if she simply just fell in love? Believing in the gay lifestyle I feel also means embracing the saying “love knows no gender” and I feel that to be true. I also feel that this story proves it. The second wife had never in her life saw another woman in a way that you would consider to be gay until she fell in love with one woman. I think when you truly connect with someone, gender, race, age, class (this can be seen from the forever popular love story of the prince’s love for the common peasant) means nothing! Maybe there is in some way a difference between being born gay and simply falling in love with another human being. A subject like this is what often makes my post seem a little drawn out, so forgive me. I often don’t proof read these or make corrections. Its just thoughts on paper so to speak. I would love to hear your thoughts on this regardless what they are!
