Being Out

Commentary from Webmaster

Do you gals find that with all the media on Lesbians these days that it is easier to be OUT? I do not find it easier at all. I still am looked at as a second class citizen. I am still not taken serious with comments I make on things I know about if there is a straight person in the room talking about the same thing. I am a real estate Broker and for years the local agents brought me OUT to clients to get the client to work with them. I was not in the closet, I was simply doing my job and never made being a lesbian a factor, but the competition did. And in rural America it apparantley is still quite taboo to be a Professional Lesbian.

Anyway, just venting a bit of steam. It just seems to me that in today's media climate we seem to be getting more attention that makes being a lesbian more mainstream, I guess as long as it does not involve their town, coworkers or relatives than acceptance is on the rise.
