This closet is really comfortable - can I stay here forever?

This is the truest story I've ever told you. And potentially one of the funniest ones. It happened to.. my friend. My friend D. D is a life-long lesbian and it only took her some twenty (sic!) years to figure that out.

D was always as gay as fairy dust. Just look at her. She's so camp she's pissing herself!
Yearbook looks something like that:






  1. kisses the first girl (in a girls toilet in a kindergarten)
  2. loves LEGO and Matchboxes
  3. kisses a boy behind the bushes but really wants to slide down that hill with a girl from English class
  4. first time gets naked with a girl (they were re-acting the movie; she says)
  5. finds out where the babies come from
  6. has a crash on a female character from Willow
  7. wants to be a Red Indian, or a cowboy, or a commando
  8. writes a story about a teenage character who has many adventures and some personal drama with a woman (it was called Emma and the only copy got lost)
  9. starts playing with dolls, is always Ken and flirts with Barbie (and Jenny, and Cindy, and Jennifer, and..)
  10. very loudly questions why marriage is defined as a relationship between a man and a woman
  11. has a crash on and stalks female teachers aplenty
  12. first time kisses a girl for real (and likes it a lot!)
  13. adores Plato's theory of romantic love (check it out, it's so gay!)
  14. is banned from Church for never wearing a skirt (euphemism?)
  15. .. All those years nothing Clicked! Nothing at all. You would think that there were clues surrounding her on every step of her life. Clues knocking and banging on her head. But no, the information couldn't reach the brain. She now says that she was lacking the schema. She knew that gays exist and supported them a lot, just somehow the existence of lesbians escaped her totally.
    So the year had come when the Universe said 'Enough! Come out of that closet!'
    She goes on holidays with her (girl)friends and kisses them and makes out with them. (no Click)
    Upon return she visits one of the girls for a week and kisses her and makes out with her. (no Click)
    The girl's parents are afraid and make gay jokes to ease their fear. (no Click)
    Until one evening.. Friend is away. D is watching a gay movie. Friend's father enters the room, looks at D, looks at a screen, looks at D, says 'Of course!' and leaves.
    And CLICK! Finally!! Thanks heavens for that!
    D is stunned. D leaves the room. D stands in front of a mirror and looks at herself. And then, very slowly, she says 'I am gay!' (now, that's what I call an illumination!)
