OL 1
Hi, I'm Danielle, I just walked at graduation last week and I am finishing up my degree this summer. I have a harder time accepting people who are very affectionate in public mainly because I, myself, am more shy and tend to not be as straight forward. It is of curiosity to me how gender in a sense does affect sexuality and how our society accepts the two genders and their approaches to sexual preference. I have a few relatives on my mother's side who are gay and I remember the night my aunt told us that she and two of her brothers, (my uncles) were gay. I was in forth grade and I was spending the night at our favorite aunts house, when her and her partner told me. I had never questioned the fact that they were two women who lived together; in fact I thought it was a perfectly acceptable scenario. At that age, I was still young enough not to really understand the pressures and conformities that society places on us and it did not seem like an unreasonable arrangement for two grown women to be living together; without husband or children. I think society puts such an emphasis on someone’s sexual orientation that starts when we’re apparently too young to even realize or know what this means.
