“I don’t really have a coming out story. I was always just me. I never worried about labels or how people perceived me. I also never worried about trying to label others. I was and still am more concerned about how I treat people and how they treat me. I don’t understand the need to label and place people in a socially constructed box, based upon who they love. I will probably never “come out”.
Rani’s story is a bit different. She always knew she was unique. She was a tomboy and very comfortable in this role. She remembers complimenting and being attracted to her brother’s girlfriends. She knew that she was a lesbian at about the age of nine. But didn’t come out when she wanted to. She was trying to please her parents. Close friends helped her see the lie she was living. She finally came out in her mid-twenties after her step father’s death.
Rani and I have been committed to each other for 25 years, married for 6 of those wonderful years.”
