same as

same as

I'm outside my comfort zone
at a joining of two souls
a wedding guest who none the less
never quite understood
till I stepped outside what I was told
it's a lesbian affair...
it always scared me..
now I'm standing at the bar
and girls are staring..like men would
it's exactly the same,,as they move in
to personal space, making their interest clear,,
and automatically I instigate my retreat
 and have to smile
as the dance is exactly the same,,
though it's not my kind of swing..
and now I am comfortable
with the unkown
and a better human being

Wow so are you experimenting or a straight going to support your friends?  I know years I had some gay friends invite me to a function, though I was uncomfortable initially, everyone knew I was straight and I had a great time.   People are people.  When you are secure with your own self then friends can be accepted even if they walk a different way in life. Love the write

I come from a time and community that didnt accept it, on holiday in Lanzarote a few years ago I went alone to a drag queen show and they seated me on a table of 12, as the night wore on the lovely guy opposite me never stopped chatting and and all the females at the table were gay..best night ever,,he didnt have to tell me but he was so freindy I thought he fancied me..he had to have a hug before I left,,,,he told me to 'fly my kite'.......it might be an Irish thing ,,but fab  ,,thanks Greg, we're never too old to learn.

oh ,,,I'm not experimenting...although as a child, I always thought I was a boy..accepting that I am not, infact I used to play with the lads climbing trees, in all the ponds etc, they didn't believe I was a girl, never a frilly girl in braids ever, confusing, but I like and prefer men, don't need to taste it to know..but bless the difference in us all.
