your straight past is still crooked

Him: You really chose a side.... I still can't believe it and don't get it. *he shakes his head* I mean, it doesn't matter, right? .....you would still date me?

Le sigh.

It matters because this is who I am

And I am proud of that

Because by choosing to not lie by omission I am building a life that is real

And because the only reason I can walk down the street 

holding my girlfriend's hand is because someone brave before me did it
And now I am strong enough to be that person.
