I have been featured in hate lists simply for being friends with women that were more vocal than I am

I am a lesbian. If I had been born 10 years later, I would have been told to transition instead of accepting my sexuality.

I have tried educating people on the subject.

I have been featured in hate lists simply for being friends with women that were more vocal than I am. I have lost friendships for suggesting lesbians should be able to reject males sexually, even if they’ve got make up on.
