#sexual

I don't encourage people to choose any sort of sexuality. ↗

I would say I'm pretty well at ease with my sexuality, but I'm an individual before I am a female. ↗

As a child, recognizing my difference from other kids, I went to the local public library to try to better understand my reality. Back then, many library card catalogues didn't even list 'homosexuality' as a topic. ↗

No relief was forthcoming from my then-Catholic faith, which said the practice of homosexuality was a 'mortal sin' subject to damnation. ↗

If a person is homosexual by nature - that is, if one's sexuality is as intrinsic a part of one's identity as gender or skin color - then society can no more deny a gay person access to the secular rights and religious sacraments because of his homosexuality than it can reinstate Jim Crow. ↗

Given that sexual orientation is innate and that we are all, in theological terms, children of God, to deny access to some sacraments based on sexuality is as wrong as denying access to some sacraments based on race or gender. ↗

In the fullness of time, I suspect that bigotry against homosexuals will seem as repugnant as racial prejudice does today. Or so one hopes. ↗

I just want to be known for things other than my sexuality. ↗

I'm very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, but it doesn't define me. I also read books believe it or not. ↗

I don't think I'm particularly sexual, no more than anyone else, though I am very creative. ↗
