Dee, you make perfect sense. Also, how wonderful if we could be looked at for holding hands and that not bring images to a persons mind of what they are not seeing.

I love pride fests because people can touch in public comfortably. At fests (and bars, for that matter), it’s not the exception but the norm. I can’t wait (and it will come) when people will see love and affection as what it is in itself, not by the genders of those who share love and affection. Hope that makes sense!

Very interesting but true observation, we notice all kinds of things about hetero couples but we’re only noticed because we’re lesbians holding hands. I think you’re right on (as usual).

I’m very blessed to live in a city and country where we’re free to walk down the streets holding hands and we do it often, we’re also accepted as a couple at church, how cool is that. I recognize this is unusual for many people and I am continually grateful that we are ‘included’ so warmly at our fellowship.

Thank you for your writings. They’re well written and provoke me to think.

Thank you. Very well said and so true. “You will know them by their love!” We stand in good company. Amen.
