Three words to describe herself: Accepting, devoted and honest
Dream vacation: Travel to multiple locations, focusing on weather prime location spots but not forgetting about the winter hot spots. Snowboarding and swimming are a must.
What she hopes to see in the LGBTQ community: Gay marriage rights in every state. Opinions of the LGBTQ community as a whole need to change. This will not happen over-night, for it’s practically engraved in our perceptions, but without full acceptance, we will always be alienated.
What she looks for in a girl: Looks draw you in, and personality keeps you intrigued. If it’s without effort and happens naturally, than it’s worth keeping, worth investing in.
