an actual conversation i once had (paraphrased for consumption)
(an ad for Queer Eye plays on the TV)
me: I love that Johnny Van Ness so so much.
mom: I think he's weird.
me: That's half of why I love him. He's just out there being himself. Cute.
mom: Cute? I just thought you found him funny.
me: No...IN love with him. I'm attracted to him. He's fierce. He makes my heart happy.
mom: But you wouldn't sleep with him.
me: I'm not going to get that chance.
mom: But if he wasn't famous...
me: I bet he's a ton of fun in the sack.
mom: Really....but he's gay.
me: He very much is. And married.
mom: Like...he's really really gay.
me: You saying it does not make it more true.
mom: I just mean that he doesn't like women.
me: That's what that means.
mom: I just mean...isn't that a waste of your efforts?
me: What effort. It's not like I'm pursuing him. I'm not chasing him around and trying to convince him. Loving someone isn't an effort. It just is.
mom: You're attracted to someone who would never find you attractive.
me: You're in love with Robert Redford. What's the difference.
mom: *gets angry and doesn't talk to me for the rest of the day*
---
I have had pretty much this conversation with several people in my life about a many different celebrities. Sometimes about folks who have never announced their orientation or marital status. And if there is any inkling at all that the man isn't straight or the woman isn't gay, this is usually what happens.
And yet, I stand by it. I am in love with / attracted to the people who I am attracted to. Idgaf about what they do with their own hearts and genitals. I love them for who they are, not how they can serve me.
