Double Standards.


Why is it socially acceptable by some

for two women to fall in love,

but when two men fall in the same love

it's deplorable?

I am a woman,

and I am in love with another woman,

and there is nothing wrong or out of the ordinary with that.

In fact, it's fucking beautiful.

Just as there would be nothing out of the ordinary

if I happened to be a man

falling in love with another man.

Love is love.

Men and women are beautiful together,

women and women are beautiful together,

and men and men are beautiful together.

Love is an amazing experience,

and those who

discriminate

lack

substance.
