Just what the world needs right, another blog. Sigh. I have spent my summer reading blogs. All kinds of blogs. Some good. Some not so much. Never thought that I would be a blogger. I don’t think that what I have to say is so interesting that folks would stop and listen. But alas, here I am. Why? Mostly cause I have something to say. Who cares if anyone listens. I guess it’s that whole “if the tree falls in the forest” question.
So what brings me to the blogosphere? (did I spell that right?) Well, I noticed that there are blogs by and about black women. There are blogs by and about black Christian women. There are blogs by and about black Christian lesbian women (is that redundant, I mean you can’t be a lesbian man right?). but I have not found a blog by and about black Christian lesbian women who are clergy. That’s right. I said it. I’m black. I’m a woman. I’m Christian. I’m a lesbian. I’m an ordained minister. Oh, and to make this even more interesting. I live in the south. Yea, I know.
I am on the cusp of my 27th birthday. Yay, me. I recently realized that I love women. Everything about women. While reading blogs over this life-changing summer, I also realized that I have been in a three year romantic relationship with a woman. I think the proper term is “boston marriage.” Go figure. I must say that it has been the most fulfilling relationship of my life. I mean, I’ve always liked girls but never admitted it. Apparently, that’s not all that uncommon. Imagine my relief. This summer I uttered the words, “I think I like girls” for the first time. I told my mentor of six years. She said, I knew that already. Wish she had told me!
Oh well, as you can imagine, I can’t go screaming from the rooftops that I like girls. But, I need somebody to talk to. Somebody to share with. Somebody to rant and rave to. That’s where you come in, hopefully. I imagine this journey will be an interesting one. Up to this point, people have always told me that my life is worth writing about. Why should this next phase be any different? I hope we have some interesting conversation and I know at some point you’ll get some laughs at my expense. It’s cool. Happens all the time.
The one thing that you will learn about me and learn to love about me is that my life
Makes. No. Sense.
Foxy,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blogisphere!
The reason I have a blog is so I can speak freely too. Over time you'll find that blogging is a cheap form of therapy too. Lol
And wow you're a minister. That's cool. I've always wished I could find a church headed by a Black lesbian minister.
And thanks for stopping by my blog. :-)
hey, no prob. can i just say it's an honor to have you stop by my blog. thanks for the welcome!
ReplyDeleteummm, i love your blog. i wanna be like you when i grow up! :)
Oh my goodness, Foxy Brown, you and I are just the same. I just started my blog at the end of last month for some of the same reasons as you. If you want, I could be one of those people you talk to and share with, because that is what I am looking for as well. :)
