Lesbians
A lesbian.
A woman who only loves women.
What more is there to know?
Lots.
Prejudice against lesbians,
Often occurs because of misunderstanding.
People have their own opinions about lesbians,
But opinions are almost never facts.
Are you sure you know,
What someone being a lesbian means?
A lesbian isn't a lesbian because she hates men.
A lesbian isn't a lesbian because she's rebellious.
A lesbian isn't a lesbian because it's "cool".
She loves women.
And only women.
She isn't "going through a phase".
She isn't confused.
She isn't "too young to know for sure".
A lesbian doesn't come out to you because she's in love with you.
She comes out to you, because she trusts you.
A lesbian doesn't fall in love with every woman she sees.
That's like saying you fall in love with everyone you see.
A lesbian has types of women that make her heart flutter,
Just like you have types of people that make your heart skip a beat.
A lesbian doesn't want to be a man.
She dresses the way she does for comfort or fashion,
Not because she's transgender.
A lesbian hasn't not "met the right man yet",
Because she doesn't want to "meet the right man".
She wants to meet the right woman.
A lesbian doesn't know all lesbians.
She might know who Ellen Degeneres is,
But she probably has no idea who your cousin,
Who lives a five hour drive away is.
When a lesbian dates another lesbian,
There is no "man" in the relationship.
There are no makes in their relationship,
Therefore male stereotypes have no place in such a relationship.
A lesbian is a lesbian.
She is herself and she is different from everyone else.
And she will love women no matter what you do,
So just love and accept her so your relationship can bloom.
