“I’m a Single Lesbian Mom” – Women Tell Their Stories

It’s easy to feel like a lot of the struggles for equality are behind us – but that’s largely an illusion.

Sure, things are better than they used to be for LGBTQ+ folks in general, but there are still major problems. For instance, it’s notoriously difficult to adopt for some people, with certain large religious adoption agencies outright denying anyone besides a straight married couple even the opportunity to try.

Combine that with the still-around stigma of being a single parent and you’ve got some experiences these anonymous women just needed to take to the internet to tell us about.

10. “Turns out…”

What a time to figure that out.

9. “Much harder”

I’m sure you’re right.

8. “Cool with me”

Come on y’all, be cool. Can’t we all just be cool?

7. “I’ve been starting to question”

And once there, what do you do with that information?

6. “One of the hardest things”

The buckle on that belt can get mighty nasty sometimes.

5. “Finally starting to work out.”

Good for you!

4. “So much harder”

We’re just gonna go ahead and level up in difficulty here.

3. “Lesbian and single”

The struggle is real.

2. “I think it’s time”

No time like the present.

1. “Gonna end up staying alone”

To be fair, dogs are the best.

Best of luck to you all out there. May you find the happiness you’re looking for.

Do you have experience with this kind of dynamic?
