She was my brother's flatmate when he started studying in the big city. I had grown up on the countryside, where nobody would dare to be openly gay. It was making me a bit insecure to meet her, because I hadn't met a gay person before, and there was something about her that was very intimidating because she was loud and confident while I was quiet and shy. In the end she was a very normal, nice but random person to me, so the impact this had was probably that, yep, gay people are normal and there's nothing particularly special about them. She later got into a relationship with a man and had a child with him. Don't know why I mention this... Maybe because it confused me at first, since I'm dead-set hetero and hadn't really grasped that others' sexuality is not as binary as mine. I was wondering if she wasn't really lesbian in the end or if she just wanted to have children so badly that she decided to be with someone whom she wasn't really attracted to. And from this reflection I learned that this really doesn't matter to me anyway. People of any sexuality have so many different reasons to be with someone, and attraction is not necessarily a sexual thing anyway.
