so, that.

So I met the guy in a coffeeshop this evening and had the Awkward Conversation Of Great Awkwardness, and he took it very well, which was nice. And then I came home and called my dad and came out to him officially for the first time (I'd hinted about liking girls for years, but never actually had a conversation with him about it, and this time I actually came out as full-stop Lesbian), and then talked to my mom and she was like, "yeah, not surprised, we love you regardless, is that really all you called about?"

THANKS MOM.

So, yeah. I feel a bit like Willow. Gay now! Which doesn't mean I won't still get really pissed off about bisexual erasure and prejudices, but I'm not going to keep clinging to an identity that doesn't fit anymore just because it's convenient. And I still do think it's possible that one day I'll meet the right guy and fuck rigid notions of sexuality anyway, but it's...definitely not likely. And I'm not going to push myself in that direction anymore. So there we are.

That felt surprisingly good.
