I agree 100% that acceptance is deserved. No question in my mind. But....and this is for the sake of discussion only....Does acceptance mean participation? I don't feel that I am homophobic. The man who helped raise me is Gay, and he would b-slap anyone who thought I was homophobic...he didn't raise me that way. But, does my acceptance of Gays and Lesbians mean that I have to have an intimate homosexual relationship? Maybe, I just don't swing that way. It in no way means that I don't accept them. I'm just not oriented that way.Originally Posted by battybattybats
So, is it possible to accept a CD, while still feeling that one doesn't necessarily wish to participate? Can I say to my SO, "Yes, I know you dress. I will not stand in your way. I support your right to express yourself. I'm just not into it myself. So while you are dressed, I'm just going to go to a scrapbooking class."? Can acceptance only be defined by a willingness to share clothing, give makeup tips and/or share intimacy while our SO is dressed?

I know that there are some CD's who have more acceptance than others here. There are some CD's who are grateful for the amount, however small, they receive. There are some CD's who are given the world and ask for more (I know, I know...human nature). Who is to say what defines acceptance?
