The Adventures of Us

Who are we?  We are two girls, who live together in Los Angeles. We are writers, we love to travel, and we happen to be a couple.  That’s right.  Call us what you will, but to us – we’re just… us. 
 
First – the BIG picture:
 
This is not a site about voicing our anger at being considered different, nor is it a campaign against labeling.  Truth is – it’s human nature to label.  It helps us to understand the world around us when we can compartmentalize all that we take in on a day-to-day basis.  The purpose of this site is simply to point out that we are normal human beings, with old-fashioned values, busy schedules, daunting bills, etc.   Many folks simply don’t understand and/or don’t have access to homosexuality and therefore are left trying to assess it through the prism of news media coverage, extreme political debate, or must-see-TV.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that. 
 
Two of our greatest gifts as humans are laughter and thought.  Our hope is that we bring you both.  If we help just a few people understand homosexuality better, then perhaps we can all learn to treat the issues of homosexual discrimination in a different way.  All in all, we’d like to take away the anger from both sides of the debate and simply create a common ground from which to relate. 
 
Second – a bunch of LITTLE pictures:
 
How do we plan to carry out the grandiose vision defined above?  By simply writing of our adventures.   Yep.  Pure and simple.  From time to time, we simply have to comment on our experience of being a same-sex couple, as that – by its very nature – affects our experiences we have out in the world (i.e. traveling in a conservative region).  Often, however, we may leave the part out about the fact that we are two women in love.  Want to know why?  Because it doesn’t occur to us.   See… the thing is - we aren’t weird to us.
