“Deny, Deny, Deny”- a very dear friend, many years ago
How I crack myself up. The proud, out, gay woman that I am. I’ve been out since 98. 10 very interesting years. All the time denying that I knew I was a lesbian before that. Bullshit, I knew. I knew in the deep dark corner of my mind. The part that didn’t see daylight until 98 maybe, but I knew. All girls do not adore their female teachers to the point of obnoxiousness. All girls do not fall in love (how innocently it may seem) with their best friend and throw fits every-time she got a boyfriend, or for that matter another friend. All girls do not grow up wanting to be Indiana Jones and not wanting to kiss him. All high-school girls do not set out to punish any boy dumb enough to be attracted to their softball playing selves. And I am pretty sure not all girls let their best friend be Jill, when they were playing Charlie’s Angels, just because she was so damn cute.
Man, I’ve been gay forever.

I completely get what you are saying about knowing but not knowing. OK, that’s called denial.
Anyhow, I am cracking up at the Charlie’s Angels thing. I was in love with Olivia Newton-John when Grease came out and I was in elementary school then.

Hehe, glad it made you laugh. And uh Olivia and I had a thing in 79. Not sure she is aware of it.
