Not in the sense that I find myself attracted to men (eww) but that it’s so completely normal that I forget I’m ‘other’. My life with Carrie is just the most normal, natural thing in the world for me. And since Austin is pretty accepting, we don’t get as many rude reminders as in other places. So it’s really quite nice.
This is a realization that has been building for a bit of time this year, but really became apparent monday while running errands at ACC. I wonder if everyone reaches this point in their life where they forget they are ‘other’? Is it a sign of maturity, or just being used to things?
Whatever it is…I like it. 
In that place there is no longing, no confusion, and no doubt. We just are. A married couple, just like any other married couple that isn’t (very) dysfunctional. 
So yes, legalized marriage would be awesome. But the government cannot take this away from us. ‘Legal’ is not real. It is something we try to make real, but it isn’t. It’s something we attach to the real thing, to make it what we want it to be, forcing it into a hole. What’s real is unspeakable, and possibly unknowable by the conscious. It just is. You feel it, and you know. You know that this is right where you are meant to be, for the rest of your life.
