I am a middle-aged mother of adult twins, an entrepreneur, an author, a host of several shows, a public speaker and oh, also a lesbian. And, I am legally married to my same-sex partner in the UK.
When I am asked to introduce myself and I add ‘also a lesbian’, the typical reaction I get is, “What, no way! You are a mother of kids; you cannot be a lesbian.”
“You are not a lesbian, you just haven’t met the right man yet.”
