I'm a good noodle.

i need you to understand that gay girls are five-year-olds with crushes on their music teachers, twelve-year-olds with crushes on their best friends, forty-year-old moms, eighty-year-old couples who go to church on sunday mornings and bicker about what to eat for dinner.

that women who love women can be the ideal loving happy couple, but that they also can be the couple that fights bitterly and cheats and breaks up or gets divorced.

that they can be WGST professors and students at all-girls’ schools, but that they can also be accountants and elementary school principals and data technicians.

that they can be thin or athletic or beautiful, but that they can also be fat or lumpy or ugly. that they can be kind and radiant, but that they can be grumpy and callous and rude. that we are not an aesthetic, or a genre of porn, or a choice of lifestyle, but very deeply human and flawed.
