Interview with the openly Gay

Interviewing someone that was gay was very interesting. There is a girl I work with and she is openly gay and not ashamed of it. She told me that day to day it is hard because of the struggles you face from being judged. She said that her parents are ok with her being this way and think it is natural for her to be this way. Another point she made very strong was that she didn’t grow up this way, she became this way very late in life and met someone she fell in love with who happened to be a girl. She is going off to Canada to be officially married to her partner in hopes of being legally binding as a spouse to the girl. Another interesting point she made was that her sister was gay as well and she was always gay. I asked her if that influenced her decision to become that way and she said no. She was seemed to be very comfortable with the conversation and seemed as if she didn’t care if everyone in the world knew. Her insecurities seemed to go away as soon as I didn’t say a critical comment and she seemed very comfortable in her own skin. She said in the end of the interview that she wouldn’t want to be any other way and she loves who she is despite all of the controversy behind the homosexual movement.
