It’s posted in all public transportation wherever you go. It’s the law. The letters are bold and thus are readable enough.

In America it states:

Priority Seating! Federal law requires that these seats be available to persons with disabilities and to seniors. But what happens when those who have already taken the seats do not want to give it up?

This usually happens during rush hours, usually in the afternoon. After office hours, people are mostly tired and want to be home with their families. Some of these folks even fall asleep while waiting for their next stops. So, whenever an elderly person gets in to ride nobody cares because either one is too tired and too sleepy to move or give away his/her seat.

This is what happened one afternoon.

Here is a letter from one of our readers asking for the lesbian community’s support. A real and honest advise will surely let her weigh things over so she can move on with less pain in her heart. The tenor of the letter has not been changed, except the name, which we will keep private.

Jandi-

I need some perspective. I fell in love with a woman from work back in February. She’s 10 years older (I’m 39, she’s 49), and married (for 13 years), with a 5 year old son. She was with women prior to getting married, and her husband knew of her bisexuality prior to them marrying. She married a man, she says, because the lesbian drama and break-up was too much for her to handle: she wanted something stable and less emotional. Now she’s emotionally starved and she and her husband get along terribly; they fight constantly even in front of their son and guests, they have no emotional connection (her husband says he’s incapable of “doing the emotional connection thing,” and they haven’t had sex in more than 2 years. (The no sex thing is confirmed by her husband, by the way.)

It was a beautiful Saturday morning at the cherry farm when a friend made a startling revelation about her true identity. Though she sometimes dressed up like a man it never crossed my mind that she too likes women.

She’s been with the same woman for 17 long years. Let’s hide their names as Jasper and Amber.

Jasper is married to a man and had a son. Amber, on the other hand, is also married to a man and was blessed with two sons and a daughter. Both had been unhappy with their marriages. Jasper admits she started to like women way before she married her husband. Was she trying to hide her lesbianism? Jasper said she only wanted to live a normal life the main reason why she decides to marry her husband. On the other hand, Amber married her husband who is an overseas contract worker. He is always out of the country for overseas work and would only come home once a year or once every two years. She is straight who happens to fall in love with her lesbian friend.

Absolutely! Jealousy is present in every kind of relationship, including lesbian relationships. If you value a person, it can make you jealous when there is a perceived threat, real or imaginary, in your relationship towards that person.

For example, a woman who fell in love with a lesbian because she made her feel she had “finally come home” to a safe and secure place can experience the most painful aspect of her jealousy as “feeling abandoned and all alone” if something goes wrong with their lesbian relationship.

Jealousy cannot be avoided. It can even sometimes blind you. It can distract you so much so that it can even affect your ability to see clearly what’s right from wrong.

While some tend to shy away from people who are the jealous type, some prefer to have them because it proves that true love exists in the relationship.

There is definitely a movement toward expanded rights for gays and lesbians in much of the world.

Let’s take a look. There is a law recently passed in Albania to protect gays against bias, a court in New Delhi, India overturned the city’s ban on consensual gay sex, and Nepal is expected to soon legalize same-sex marriage in hopes of attracting gay tourists. China, on the other hand, opened its first state-sponsored gay bar in December. Yet gay sex is still illegal in 80 countries.

So, where on earth are same-sex marriage legal and punishable and where sanctions are easing and tightening?

Here’s the latest from the Human Rights Watch and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission:
