Lesbians Only What challenges do you face or have you faced as a lesbian?

Coming out was the scariest thing I've ever done, but once I got through it and it was behind me, I've never been happier! I also struggled with rejection from my mom, but things eventually smoothed over, and a year later she had her own coming out.

The only thing I have to deal with now that I've come out in 2021 is my intense fear of violence and sexual assault from an angry and resentful man who may not agree with my coming out as a lesbian.

My sister-in-law and her wife face another challenge. They are a two-mom family; each of them brought a school-age teenage girl to the marriage. When they go to parent-teacher conferences, they are sometimes shunned by other moms who happen to be straight. What a pity!

 

Yes indeed sure is!!

 

Pardon the intrusion, but this set off my alarm bells. I recommend you reexamine how much personal data you give out. (Not in this thread, specifically, but elsewhere here.)

Please look after yourself.

 

If you think this "angry and resentful man"could do you harm---arm yourself appropriately. Women are killed, assaulted every day in this country because of uptight morons.

 

Fortunately, things are a lot easier here in the UK. As you may know, our daughter is in the same situation and she has had constant support over the last decade, she now has 3 year old twins who have 2 mothers Mammy and Mommy. The biological mother is our daughters partner.
Christina (Being a police officer), has had a few problems filling in legal paperwork giving details of her wife. Marriage is completely legal in the UK, but there is no correct terminology for same sex partners.

 

If all this starts getting you down, take a break and enjoy a holiday in the UK. You can see my reply to Scratcho.

 

Ah thats beautiful....God bless them all!!!
