Thanks for featuring local singer/motivational speaker Dominique Khoury in the June edition (#009). We can totally relate to what Dominique goes through. Bec and I have been together for well over 10 years and we still get asked if we are a couple.

Apparently we are ‘too girly’ to be in a committed lesbian relationship. We both not only face homophobia and discrimination in the straight community, but also in the gay community. At times we feel like we don’t fit in anywhere and it makes things difficult sometimes.

Since when does how long your hair is, or whether you wear make-up or not determine your sexuality? No offence, but if we both had short hair, a few tats and piercings and wore casual clothing I bet you we wouldn’t get asked twice about our sexuality. It’s not logical! It’s like comparing yourself with what flavour or name brand toothpaste you use!
