LDR question challenge.

I found this on Instagram a few days ago and each answer should be written on a separate day but I'm impatient so I'm going to write then all in one post today.

Our names: Kim & Levi

Our date: 19/12/12

Our song: We actually have a playlist of songs but the one that means most to us is; your song by Elton John

Our favourite picture: This one is hard because we have so many but possibly one of the first because it's a special moment to us. 

This was a photo from our first date. Chipotle. 

Future plans: at the moment our plans are to move in together by the end of next year and get married. Levi wants children but I'm still really unsure about that and would much rather have loads of pets. 

First meeting: Our first meeting was on the 26th Jan 2013 in London. 

Distance apart: 177 miles.

Joint couple name: I really don't think we have one. We have 'pet names' that we sort of came up with within the first few months which are Jellyfish and Koala.

Website: We have a joint tumblr, the URL derives from our 'pet names' and it's koallyfish1912.tumblr.com as well as twitters: @herfemmegirl and @hersappho. 

What you love about them: this is really hard to keep to a few lines because there is so much, the things that jump to mind though for a short summary are; she's like my best friend, lover and so much more rolled into one, she's never judges me - I can honestly tell her anything, she's so easy to trust, she's the only one that can deal with my moods and not freak out and most importantly she loves me for who I am.

The rainbow is full of love, however reality has grey areas.

Until recently I had not realised how "grey" society is due to hatred. Don't get me wrong I have experienced hate due to my sexuality as well as many other things in my life. It took me a while to believe that hate did not reflect who I am but who the people are spreading the hate. However some individuals never reach that, and the hate touches them personally. 

I have always been an advocate of talking things through and trying to subvert the stereotype. Whether that's to do with what a woman is "supposed to be", what a lesbian is, or what certain conditions are.

There are so many malicious individuals online, I would call them people - but some go beyond what a human is, some are just so full of hatred that they have been drained of all humanity. The hate that these people are mindlessly throwing on to the internet could do more than they realise. To take homophobia as an example because that's one of the things that riles me the most, and one thing I have been speaking out about a lot today on many social networking sites. Not only do people hide behind religion for their hatred, but justify it by using their god and religious text. 

These individual's state that the homosexual life is "wrong" and "chosen", however by using some of their justifications it proves that they are blinded by hate and their lives are grey because of this. Allow me to demonstrate my point with pictures:

However they do not realise that they probably pass more than one gay person on the street daily, as statistics state that 1-in-10 people are gay or have gay tendencies (gay, lesbian or bisexual), and these words of hate could lead to personal harm or worse.

I am not going to lie or hide that certain things have really touched me in my personal life. I let words beat me down several times, but I will not get into this right now. Maybe at some point I will post my story, but right now this is not the time. 

My main reason behind this post is just to have a bit of a rant and provide some sort of support if anyone has been affected by such hate.
