The necessity of normalizing queer love
Summary
The speaker is an Irish activist 1) and a gay 2) who tells us that she is not young. 3)
For a long time, she thought that she was jealous of straight people because they could be casually holding hands in public that is a small thing, though gay couples could never do that. LGBT people have to put up to be safe or not to be an object of ridicule or scorn.
It’s expected for LGBT to put up with those things, it’s thought that same-sex marriage can’t possibly be a “marriage”, it's sneeringly described things as gay always,and it’s not normalized anything,
She said that despite appearances, she is just as ordinary, just as unremarkable, and just as human as you are.
An Irish, gay and elderly people are human as we are. Irrespective of race, sex, and age, we are ordinary people.
