Sorry- this is really weak:
I hope to send this to a GLBT magazine/journal. If my audience is going to consist of homo/bi-sexuals than I would prefer that my writing is something they can relate to. I’m trying to describe my sexual experiences with the opposite sex, because many lesbians can identify with those experiences. Many lesbians have started their sex lives with men and from that realized that they actually prefer women.
Also, I am setting the ‘present’ clusters of my writing at a PRIDE event. Many homosexuals attend these events and being there reminds them of their lives before they came out, and their lives presently.
I want my piece to be something that my readers can relate to and find somewhat comical. I am trying to save my actual declaration of being a lesbian for the last section of my writing, but I’m finding it hard. I want to save it for last, because my audience should know what I am talking about without having to come straight out and say it. I prefer to be somewhat obscure in my writing, and I believe it holds a certain effect/affect that I can’t really put into words.

Hi Jaime,
I think you have a great start. When I was reading your design plan, I like how you want to save your coming out at the end of your piece. I feel if you stated that your are a lesbian at the beginning, then readers will think this is just an opinion piece based solely on you. It would be great to put a little humor into your topic because people connect with this style more, takes it to a more human point of view. Please feel free to respond back to me if you need more input or you do not understand my comments.
Seems a little abstract, but definitely not as offbased as mine. I think you have a good point with not telling the reader that you're a lesbian until the end but have you considered how you would introduce your essay? From what I gather, the center of the essay is going to focus on the PRIDE event. Have you considered a time frame of maturity? For example, from the original sexual urges to a sexual realization of being bisexual or lesbian. Sounds like a good start.
