And one day I fell in love with a man
Testimony of A published on the website of the broadcaster France TV (France), freely translated by Giovanna Vallone
I have always been attracted to women. And then, one day, here it rains everything on you as the rain. I haven't asked myself more questions and I let the time. I am in love with this person. Despite the numerous fears regarding what the people around me could have thought about, the fear of homophobia, I have never been so radiant in a relationship.
Of course, homophobic acts always exist (the world is beautiful because it is varied, isn't it?), But I slowly understood that the main weapon is knowing how to accept. Be careful, I don't say that kissing in public or wearing stiletto heels are the solution. However, I think that to combat the judgment of the other they are fundamental what we think of ourselves and our ability to love us, regardless of the observations that people make around us.
Of course, it is easy to make certain speeches for someone like me who, after all, has not suffered much because of the gaze and derision of others. But I also know that I would never have come to this reflection without the support of the man with whom I share my life. And even if, basically, I remain always attracted mainly by women, bisexuality is an aspect of my personality that I learned to discover, that I detested, that it frightened me and that I ended up fully accepting.
