i forgot to mention in my weekend round-up:
san francisco is renowned as a city of diversity, openness, sexuality, and homosexuality. i encountered how this manifests in everyday life as i was looking for housing on craigslist. people’s sexuality is one of the demographic details that everyone includes. “two females, artists, one straight, one queer, looking for a 420,gay-friendly housemate...” blather blather blather. ALL of them are like that. except the one i answered, consequently, and where i now live. this question came up with jason and octavio on friday. jason very sweetly inquired “so...what’s your story? are you...single?” as soon as he started asking the question i KNEW it was going to be the sexuality question. something about his impish grin. ‘i AM single. are you asking a sexuality question?’ he was very sweet and didn’t want to make me uncomfortable or over step any bounds or get too personal. i assured him not to worry. i don’t have a lot of boundries as far as inquiries are concerned, especially if i love you. plus it’s interesting to hear how someone else perceives you. he thought i could be bi-sexual. i gave him a kind of meandering answer that was like: i appreciate women but they don’t interest me, but i can’t say that if the right person came along i wouldn’t be attracted to them if they were a woman. but the real answer is this:
i’d like straight men to think i’m a lesbian, lesbians to think i’m straight and for anyone else to not be interested.
until my husband comes along, bends over backwards, fights for my attention and impresses the hell out of me, i can’t be bothered. i’ve got stuff to do.
