London: Estella Newbold Brown has had relationships with men for a long time in her life, but at the age of 33, she realized that she was actually gay. Estella, a resident of London, fell in love with a man at the age of 20, thinking she would marry, buy a house and have children. The relationship lasted for six years but ended. She then dated different men for ten years but was not happy with these experiences. According to Estella, with some men I felt something was wrong; They were controlling or seemed strange. But not everyone had this problem. I always felt that something was missing. The dating experience always made me anxious and I often ended up ruining relationships myself. Nine years ago, a mutual friend introduced Estella to a woman named F. The two started dating and soon the relationship turned into love. “When I first saw her, I thought she was what I was looking for. I was so impressed with her personality, humor and intelligence,” says Estella. A few months later Estella decided to tell her family and close friends about herself. Estella and F married six years ago and are now parents to twins, born via a donor.
