As I sit here drinking my morning cup of earl grey I can not help ponder the idea of Sexuality. This is a very interesting topic to me. Every since I was in six grade I have been attracted to all sorts of people. It was never about to opposite sex to me. It was mostly about the person and their personality. Not necessarily if they were female or male. Personality goes a long way with me.

I have only known my grandma for two years. My mother was adopted and we found her birth mother which was a miracle. I love spending time with her she is one of the most influential and inspirational persons in my life right now. I have looked up to her since the day I met her. yesterday when we were doing art work at her house and throwing back a few cold ones I found out she classifies herself as being "gay". If their is one thing I hate it's labels. As she was telling me this it all came together and I realized most of my life made scene now. I herd this statistic that explained if someone in your family is "gay" than their is a 40% chance that others descended from that family member will also be "gay". I am also not really one for statistics ether It was only one of the first things I thought about when she told me.

Then again I feel like women have thoughts about other women often whether they act on those thoughts or not. Women are beautiful creatures most of us put a lot of effort into looking our best. Appearance is very important to most women. so in other words how could a female look at another female and not at least let a sexual thought cross there mind? Women also have close relationships with each other. Sure we go to the bathroom together, and when your little you have slumber parties, and the list goes on ect.

I feel like men are looked down on by society and other men if they have a close relationship with another man. People automatically assume they are "gay", or very sensitive. as a "straight" man you are discouraged from these labels, and that type of relationship.

This upsets me how society concentrates so much on certain labels, and how certain genders are supposed to act. Honestly a lot of people have opened up to the idea of others being "gay" even through the last 20 years. In my opinion I feel no one should fixate specifically on the gender of another person. Everyone has something different to bring to the table, and every person is unique and special in their own way. People are beautiful creatures. But on the other hand some people are just to close-minded and will not allow themselves to see others in a different light. Also wile I am on this topic I would like to express that I really dislike the word " bisexual", And something else that infuriates me Is the fact that the same sex can not legally get married in most states and countries. I don't necessarily believe in marriage myself but it is important to other people. And that's my rant for the day. ( takes the last sip of earl grey)
