I am a lesbian, living in Guyana but find it hard to be with the one i love because of what people think about it. I have had it with what people think, this is about me and my happiness so i will be with her and i will prove that it is not about SEX but rather matters of the HEART. I am truly in LOVE with her and i will have her dispite what people think because at the end of the day they dont care about me or my happiness. I choose to be happy and this is what makes me happy.

I guess the internet has made things different. You can hook up online. It is open in some places. People try to be who they are. younger people mostly. Older guys tend to be closeted, guys my age and as I get older, i feel that i have to hide because the 'scene' is full of young people.
The sex I can do without, it is what do i do when i meet a guy and fall in love with him. Some straight friends know about me. I dont like gay because I am not effeminate or anything like that and sometimes I like looking at women. I am scared of what will happen when i get older. Our culture says that children have to look after you. I do not want to get children
Life here really depends on how you make it. It is not as bad as some places. I hear of parties and some things like the film festival
