I find it so amazing that there are queer people out there who are not aware of the politicization of their existence. I saw something about it a while back, too - a lesbian couple in rural India somewhere with an obvious masc and femme. The femme used feminine pronouns for her partner, but acknowledged her to be a man, saying that << for me, he is a man >> . their family/village community shunned them & they were living apart from them, and they had no knowledge of queer theory, or even the word 'lesbian'. they 'come as they are', like you wrote. it's beautiful & revolutionary, and so ordinary. blows my mind, & I love it. I hope one day all queer people everywhere can live simply as they are.
