Elvira Hvozd.
We walk around the city. Some consider us nice girlfriends, some sisters, and some have already introduced us as one of the categories of porn.
Who are we? Two women who have been living together for 4 years. We hide who we are all our lives. Yes, it is probably easier for us than for men. We are simply considered close friends. When they are forbidden to show tenderness by society.
Our problem is the rejection of our relationship. Somebody say: “They are sick”, somebody say: “It’s not for long”, “There was no normal man”. No, we are not sick. And the partner’s husband was good, caring. But she loves women, it happens. Both had a period of non-acceptance, both were afraid. Now we are “adults”, the “phase” has not passed.
You will never think that we are a couple. We look like other, “normal” women. We do not need compassion. We want security. We do not want to be sexualized either together or separately.
We are the same. We are all equal.
