The Great Thing About Being A Lesbian

Having lived most of my life as a straight woman, I can honestly say I am much happier as a lesbian. I told this to a straight friend of mine and she crinkled up her nose and asked me why. It was a funny reaction because I realize she was thinking, “Eww, how could you [...]
