Hi Sonia,

I just want to say how truly sorry I am that our society, even today, continues to try to put love in a neat little box. And whatever or whomever outside of it is rejected, judged and unrecognized. It is shameful. I am a straight woman and have been finding myself more and more disgusted with people who think that being straight is the only acceptable way of life – that if a person is gay, there must be some explanation for their ‘confusion.’ Every human should be entitled to loving who they want. I commend your strength and admire your courage. You have clearly made a choice to follow a path brightly lit with honesty and true love. I wish you, and everyone else who is being unnecessarily judged, a life of peace, happiness and acceptance by us all.

Best wishes to you and your partner,
Annie

Can never get my head around why someone’s sexuality should be even a slight issue in today’s day and age. Well done Sonia.

Congrats Sonia, when I came out and no one really cared, my first thought was. Why didnt I do this sooner!?!? Im sure you are enjoying being released from your burden. Hope Mardi Gras was good, we go all out where I live in Louisiana (USA). One of the few areas in the states that celebrates the carnival season.
