Dear friends

Just because I’m a lesbian doesn’t mean I like you. You don’t have to hide round the corner in the changing room together and leave me there like I’m a monster your not aloud to touch. I hug you because we’re friends not because I like jellybean (her nickname) and when I tell you about my crushes that is not an open discussion about lesbian sex or anything like that the same way that when you talk about Your boyfriends I don’t ask about sex. I wish you would treat me the way a straight person is treated. I wish you would act like my crushes are the same as yours and when I’m drama the teacher says we have to act as a gay couple you don’t scream and laugh and ask to do another topic because if you were paired with a boy you would get on with it. Why did you freak out so much then you kissed my head when I was sad? Why do you say when something lgbt is on ‘that’s a bit weird’.

I don’t blame you jellybean because you don’t understand why it’s bad but maybe one day I can have the courage to explain to you

Ally. I do blame you. You are lgbt, not by sexuality but by gender do try and imagine how I feel
