Elaboration on a Theme.

Been breathin' 21 years. Livin' in Richmond, Va. Studyin' Anthropology and Gender, Sexuality, & Women's Studies at VCU. Hatin' sexism, racism, classism, and injustice in general. Advocatin' feminism, open-mindedness, compassion, and all that jazz. Oh, and I have two really awesome cats.

I didn’t answer previously because:

  • I hate anonymous personal questions
  • My sexuality is personal
  • I don’t like claiming labels about sexuality, it seems limiting to me
  • I don’t feel like I owe anyone an explanation for who I’m makin’ sex with

But for the record, No. I’m not a lesbian. Thus far in my life I have only slept with men and I have enjoyed it for the most part (some are obviously better than others). That being said, I am attracted to some women just like I’m attracted to some men. I try not to get hung up on gender and sexuality labels. If I like someone, I just like them. While previously I have not had any sexual queer experiences, I can’t really imagine only sleeping with men for my entire life. There’s a whole other half of the population out there, and I want to experience anything and everything that tickles my fancy.

I know I post a lot of queer shit and that leads to assumptions about my sexuality, but I just like queerness and queer people. I identify as queer in my own way. Don’t box me in! I’m just trying to love and be loved by all kinds of beautiful humans!
