What is your Level? By Laura Sacks

    It takes time. You will learn. Have you heard these wise words before? Why is it, that some people in  the gay community feel they are superior?  If you are 10-20 years older than me, I give you credit. If you have  some thoughts for me and my gayness, please tell! 
 
             When I first came out, I was often called names such as baby, newbie, and immature. This was a tad discouraging since I spent about 19 years of my life in denial. They say , "the closet is now open", I was for sure  ready to lock the door and never come out. I always had a thing for dating women who were a few years older.  The difference? Well, a woman who was out longer didn't care about society. A woman who was new sometimes  did. It is a state of mind that matters ; not a birth date. I didn't want to end up in a relationship where I had to hide  my sexuality. After all, if I am going to be out of that closet, I am not changing for anyone.
