it feels impossible that any lesbian
could (or would) love me
because i’m married to a man

Okay peoples, if you at least read the text given by the queer secrets person, you would have realized that the symbol on top of the heart is a queer polyamorous symbol. And if you didn’t knew what that was, you could have taken it as an opportunity to educate yourself. www.lovemore.com Poly=being able to date and/or fall in love with more than one person at the same time with the knowledge and consent of all parties involved. i.e. not an affair, not cheating, etc. And being romantically involved with more than one person take A LOT of love and commitment. And people who are poly and also happen to be bisexual get shit for “wanting to date one of each sex just because they’re attracted to both sexes.” That’s really not always how it works. There are bi people who are dating more than one person of a particular gender, too. There are also plenty of bisexuals who aren’t poly, and there are plenty of poly people who are only attracted to one sex (straight and gay/lesbian people) and are dating multiple people, but there’s no “clever” comment you can say about their sexual orientation in regard to their relationship decisions. So you’re really just spewing biphobia while remaining ignorant of polyamory and acting as if polyamory is sinful (while more conservatives say that everything and everyone within the LGBT community is sinful), even though at least poly people are making an informed decision based on love and commitment instead of blindly following a heteronormative system. (not that you can’t make an well-informed, truly educated decision to be monogamous, though).
Anyways, less than half of all poly people are bi, which means a lot of others are heterosexual and gay/lesbian. There are plenty of lesbian poly people in which would date the submitter. Sure, there is plenty prejudice among lesbians in regard to bisexual women, but less so in the polyamorous community. And even though there is some prejudice among some lesbian poly women, who cares, there are plenty of other poly lesbians who are cool with you having a husband and there are plenty of bisexual poly women as well. You don’t need to date a lesbian in order to date a woman, remember that.

About

My blog is intended to write personal opinions about any issue that may come to my attention relating to these three themes: sexuality, women and LGBT concerns. This may include responses to, comments on, or analysis of new or old articles, events, people or topics. I may also reblog others' articles, photos or information regarding sexuality, women and LGBT concerns. I have no intention of having an equal number of blogs dedicated to each of these three themes, which includes the varying concerns of the L, G, B, and the T in LGBT; rather, I will write what happens to come to my attention, seems to be of importance according to my worldview, and from my perspective, being a 23 year old bisexual/pansexual/queer feminist female who has a love-hate relationship with the rigidity of gender and how gender plays a role in society. I believe that knowledge is power, particularly when it comes to sexuality. Sexuality education should be all-encompassing, empowering, and be a positive experience. I am pro-choice and identify as an LGBT ally and advocate; I have a particular interest in the bi/pan/sexually-fluid issues as well as trans, intersex and genderqueer issues.
