I voted no, marriage isn't important to me. But I do think if a couple's going to start a family they should get married.

My partner and I are 39 and 41, respectively, and we're probably not going to have children. But getting married is really important to me (I never thought it would be.) I really want to be able to say to the world at large, just like straight couples can, that I married the love of my life and we take our relationship seriously enough to take the step of the ceremony and legal things that go along with it.

Salty chimed in:

Getting married is starting a family whether they have children or not. Some hetero-couples can't have children but they can get married. Getting legally married is a requirement to receive financial benefits from the government and a list of other things that go with that legal document.

I just want some answers. Right now, I'm totally confused about myself. When I was a kid I was more of like a tomboy, I liked playing boys stuff. I never really played dolls at all, you know, like what an ordinary girl would play. I loved playing basketball and riding a bike, a toy gun and some other stuff instead...Now, I have developed an interest in women...I mean like I want to have relationship with them, but still I'm interested in men too. Oh, gosh, I don't know what I am anymore!

Dear Tommy

Like you, I was a tomboy growing up. I had five older brothers and liked to tag along with them riding bikes, fishing, playing kickball and dodge ball. I don't know if there is a connection between being a tomboy and being a lesbian, but that certainly is the stereotype....keep reading.

When I asked you what your favorite lesbian movies were, many, many of you picked I Can't Think Straight, a film by Shamim Sarif who also made The World Unseen.

Lesbian Life Film reviewer Stephanie Schroeder liked I Can't Think Straight, but wasn't quite as enthusiastic as you were. Read her review and add your thoughts here or write your own review.

From the Lesbian Life Forum:

I recently started dating a girl that I can tell that I am quickly falling for. She's great, we have a lot in common, same sense of humor, the whole bit. The thing that bothers me is that she doesn't enjoy kissing. I am a very affectionate person who loves to kiss. When I bring this issue up, she tells me that I kiss too much. What can I do, if there's anything at all, to help find some common ground? I would hate to see this relationship end because of such a thing. Please help!
