Kimmy brings up a really good point for me. It is only a part of her, as is race. It isn't all of her. Her sexual orientation, just like mine, isn't what makes me us the way we are. My attitude, my habits, what I do for fun; none of it is because I am straight or because I am white. Why do we dwell on things we can not change?
Identitfying with what you are is important, don't get me wrong. Especially in cases like Kimmys, where being vocal may help to lead to changes that should have already been made. But it shouldn't be what is most important to her or anyone else.
I just wish issues of sexually, race, gender, were not as categorical as they are. Why do these attributes divide us? Why can't we accept the differences we all have and move foward, together, in acceptance.
