Is being gay an immutable identity or not? I wish you homosexuals would make up your mind.
Quote:
I think I'm finally getting to the point where people's shock about my partner's gender is outweighed by how much they approve of my choice. I've always wanted to end up with someone interesting, clever, funny, attractive, liberal-minded and, above all, kind. My partner is all of those things. Having been gay all my life, I just wasn't expecting him to be male.

Great little article, and a very positive note towards having equal rights for marriage for man/woman marriage and same sex marriage.

She identified as a lesbian her whole life her words, who are you to label her?

And she may of been bi her whole life and not known that about herself or wasn't willing to admit that to herself. Either way, there is nothing alarming about what she did, there is no right or wrong way about this.

That's not what she said, she calls herself a lesbian. Stop moving the goal posts.

Looks like someone was bisexual and either didn't fully acknowledge it, or lied to herself about it. Well woopty dooo! So what if she called herself a lesbian? As a fellow free-willed human being, I have the ability to call myself an astronaut superhero rodeo clown doctor, but that doesn't necessarily mean I am one.

You know, I'm sad for you if all you got out of the article is your first sentence in this thread. This article has everything to do with gays being given the right under law to marry, with all the legal ramifications marriage brings with it. What you got out of the article is that a lesbian fell in love with a man. You have a serious problem with reading comprehension, Edward, or your hatred for homosexuals in general has blinded you beyond all comprehension. Either way, I'm sad for you, and people like you, who make hatred so much a part of their lives.

from your link:

The right to get married has not actually got to do all that much to do with love. It's to do with the law. No one can stop people loving each other, or building their lives together. The way gay people love each other will not be changed by whether or not the House of Lords passes the bill. But their legal standing as humans will change. They will have exactly the same right to marry as my partner and I do now.

Her previous sexual preferences are irrelevant after she found her partner. Best wishes to both and may they live in peace.

Besides it is their business and none of ours.
