First of all, that photo is adorable. I spent, perhaps, an oddly long time just staring at it because it brought me so much joy! As someone in a straight relationship, you are not wrong to worry about most of us. My husband and I consciously and constantly battle against the gender norms and existing blueprints of a successful relationship, because they’re garbage for everyone. We actually spend a lot of time also looking to the queer community for guidance on building true partnership and equity in our relationship!
That's so interesting to hear that you and your husband look to queer relationships for help dismantling gender norms! Sometimes it feels like we're in this bubble of queerness that feels protective but also can be isolating - but it's almost like we have more influence than we think. This is how culture changes!
This is absolutely gorgeous and essential. Yes to wild queer love - making up/uncovering the path as we walk - and going totally completely off the path too! I love this so much and the photo of you and Ash, so sweet and beautiful! Thank you so much for this.
