My sexuality is not something I'm ashamed of. It's not something I'm not sure of, it's just that I have a very specific opinion of what sexuality is. For me, sexuality is sex. You can be heterosexual or homosexual with sex but be completely opposite with the relationship aspect of it. The two can go hand in hand, but they don't have to. So, while someone can enjoy having sex with women, they could be totally happy marrying one of their bros. ... I'm not saying I'm gay, bisexual, multisexual, transsexual. I'm just me. And tomorrow if I want to marry a man, I'll marry a man. If I want to marry a woman, I'll marry a woman. It's not categorizing. It's not a box.
