Anyone see Oprah yesterday?

It was about married women who leave their husbands to partner with women. I was so annoyed with Oprah. She was all, "I thought you were either gay or you aren't." And seemed surprised by this whole Kinsey scale and the fluidity of sexuality.

I came across a blog post yesterday that mentioned this. The writer was a homophobic straight girl who happened to be a b*tch. I got frustrated and decided there was no way i was going to dvr it, maybe if Ellen or heck even Tyra (i swear she could play for our team someday)  had led the discussion it would have went better. The girl blabbed on and on about how the only reason a woman would do this is because she was a man hater after being married to a jerk, so not true. While my ex husband wasn't the greatest guy ever, it wasn't him that turned me gay....i was born this way and it just took a while for me to come to terms with it and decide to live my life honestly.

We watched it last night and it was failry frustrating.  Oprah was sort of disappointing...though slightly better by the end.  It was frustrating for us anyway to have the process sort of glamorized in a straight guys fantasize about two women way and a aren't lesbians so interesting way.  And, (and this may be unpopular) I guess it was hard to understand the difference (other than a very important conversation about orientation) between the effects of leaving a relationship for a man vs for a woman. And, to somewhat create context, I have been left for men so I get that to some extent.  Finally, that it is just important to realize that there are so many ways to come out and all of them are ok (always always knew, didn't know until college, didn't know until married) - all are ok.  None are less lesbian.
