Most people find being a lesbian atrocious or an inconvenience at best. They think their lives would be so much better if they were just… straight. One of the reasons why they think that is because of how complicated homosexuality is.

Do not fear my love in her book Lesbianism Made Easy, Helen unpacks things not only for lesbians but for everyone who wants to know “Where the hell did all these lesbians come from??”

1. Why this book ??

I read Lesbianism Made Easy at the beginning of the year as part of my new year’s resolution. To read more impactful books about the things I am going through.

One of my new year’s resolution is to be a lesbian so this book aligned perfectly with that resolution. Of course I don’t mean this in a literal sense. I was born a lesbian and I thought it was time to accept that and live in harmony with that.

That’s why it made perfect sense to read this book.

2. Was It Any Good??

The book was extremely hilarious. Helena unpacked the topic of lesbianism and all things surrounding it in a very light hearted way.

She talked about how straight men seem to enjoy lesbianism, homophobia and shaming, loving women to name a few.

SHE : What are you, a lesbian?                      ME :  Ooh, you’re sharp! What else can                                    you tell me about me?

The book was amazing however it was not helpful to my mission. I wanted to learn what exactly being a lesbian means. I later found out that being a lesbian means being attracted to the same sex only and it is typically used to describe women.

Reaching the point where other people’s opinions cannot destroy the peace you have achieved with your own fabulous self gives tremendous advantage, even if you’re not normally the kind of person who knows what to do with one of those. Once you are not afraid of being “found out,” no one can disgrace or slander you. No one can shame you if you refuse to be ashamed.

This is my favourite passage from the book.

I realize that this was all over the place and it was more about me coming out🌈 than the actual book.

Thank you so much for reading.

I love you guys so, so, so much (no homo😂😉)
