I Just Want My Relationship To Be

I Go For My Completely Routine Mammogram And Then I Get A Call From My Gynecologist. And She Says, 'well, I Have Some - It's Not Such Great News, But Here It Is, But It's Very Small And We're Just Going To Get In There And Take It Right Out, Right Away, And Then You'll Probably Have Radiation.'

And For Me, It Is A Choice. I Understand That For Many People Its Not, But For Me Its A Choice, And You Dont Get To Define My Gayness For Me. A Certain Section Of Our Community Is Very Concerned That It Not Be Seen As A Choice, Because If Its A Choice, Then We Could Opt Out. I Say It Doesnt Matter If We Flew Here Or We Swam Here, It Matters That We Are Here And We Are One Group And Let Us Stop Trying To Make A Litmus Test For Who Is Considered Gay And Who Is Not.

What Was Really Great With Eleanor Roosevelt - I Mean, Of Course, We All Have This Stereotypical, Really Satirical Almost, Version Of How She Speaks. What Was Really Interesting To Me Was I Found Various Radio And Tv Appearances Of Hers, But There Was One Talk Show That I Saw Her On; She Was The Only Woman, It Was All Men. They Were Talking About Policy - I Think It Was After She Was First Lady. I Think It Was More In The U.n. Days.

I Also Grew To Love Nancy Reagan In A Certain Way. I Learned More - Certainly I Learned More Bad Stuff That I Had Known About In Greater Detail, But I Also Got A Lot Of Empathy.

Gay People Who Want To Marry Have No Desire To Redefine Marriage In Any Way. When Women Got The Right To Vote, It Did Not Redefine Voting.
