Yes I'm DISABLED and Yes I'm gay...........and yes I'M now PROUD of it!!

This week we talked about disability. As a person who is living with a disability, this hit close to home. Sex and disability is a taboo topic. My experience with my disability and sex, has been an odyssey. It began when I was 18, I knew I wanted something was different. Having a disability and wanting something more in a relationship. What a weird combination, I always thought. How hard could finding my sexuality be, I always thought??!! I was afraid to come out of the closet because I didn’t know how people would react. To fit in a sexual society is hard, to fit into a sexual driven society as a disable person is an entire different thing. Sex and disability have always been a weird and realistic idea to me. To try to fit in to this perfect society as a disable person, who wants to be sexual. But yet society has label you as a fragile and delicate. I know that disability and sex is taboo, I really don’t care. If I was going to be a joke, as a disable lesbian…..i’ll just do what they always say..”fake it till you, make it”. Well I guess that just what I did, I just kept telling myself I was gay and I told people I was gay. After years, of telling people I was gay…I finally feel confident to say that I am a lesbian. That’s something that I feel safe to say. Its not about who you are and who you tell people you are. Its about the confidence you have in yourself and the identity you feel comfortable in. I found out if I tell people I am gay, they don’t think I am a joke…….instead they don’t make a big deal about it!!
I found this clip on YouTube, It spoke to me and I really identify with these people!
