inspired by other people's dream posts

I dreamed I was being interviewed by someone from a big dyke magazine (why, I couldn't tell you), and it wasn't going as she had intended. I got the distinct impression I was being interviewed in the expectation of supporting the g/l labels, and unsurprisingly, I wasn't. I remember saying something like:
"I think it's a universal human right for an adult to have any kind of relationship, so long as it's consensual, with any other adult or adults as they want. But, I think putting a label on any given relationship only serves to seperate people, encourage an us versus them mentality that serves no one. That's not to say that anyone is off the hook, politically; if there is any abrogation of that universal human right of consensual adult relationships, then it's universally criminal, and it should be treated as such."
I think I went on to talk about how amazing it was that something so simple got turned into something so mean, messy, and complicated. At the end of the interview, I had a vague sense that I had, if not actually made a convert, at least lifted some of the boundaries from the interviewer.
