Right now I think the word that best defines it isqueer.

I cant say it without smiling, actually.

And that feels pretty great.”

“Fans and friends were telling me how exciting this milestone was and how happy I looked.

I felt nothing,” she admitted.

“Things hadnt been easy at home, but everyone says marriage is hard, right?”

“I didnt expect to find love in this support system,” Bush said.

“What I saw was a friend with her big, happy life.

“There were accusations of being a home-wrecker.

And now I get to love her.

How lucky am I?”
