Love in its many forms
My friends tell me I have a "type". My first crush turned out to be bisexual. Mr. Heartbreaker has shades of homosexuality. I seem to have this thing for falling for guys who aren't quite into women. There's gotta be something Freudian in all that. What got me thinking about all this was the announcement that Darren Hayes just married his boyfriend. I'm not particularly surprised by this; he's been gushing about his new love all over his second solo album. I just wonder why everyone appears to be taken aback that he's gay. A lot of people seemed shocked by it. So what? Love is love. He's proven that with his music - its message is universal. I don't see what the big deal is. I still love my first crush; I don't think I'll ever stop. I didn't stop loving him when I found out he had a boyfriend (I didn't stop loving him when I found out he had a girlfriend!). Mr. Heartbreaker had what I can only describe as a crush on one of his guy friends. He'd deny it to the death, but I know him better. Love takes so many forms, so many manifestations. It's beautiful in every incarnation. It hurts like a b*tch in every incarnation.
Final thought: Now that Darren Hayes is married, I wonder if he'll write even sappier songs about the couple life? Fingers crossed.
