| Hey Tasha! To tell you a little about my situation, I am originally a native of Arlington, TX however I am currently attending school rural Marshall, Missouri on a wrestling scholarship. There arent a lot of colleges that have a collegiate women wrestling program, so i didn’t have much to choose from. Like I said, the town is rural, not much culture or things to do at all really, and the schools population is only about 1500 students….smaller than my high school. Being a lesbian, I dont have dating life out here. I’m not interested in straight or bi girls and I’m definitely not trying to be some girls “lesbo college experiment”. The lack of culture and lack of being able to express my sexuality with like minded individuals is starting hinder my decision on whether or not i should stay here in missouri or leave back home to where atleast I’ll be around other fellow lesbians. I know I should take advantage of my scholarship and get a degree which is the main objective, but is it really worth a dull social life with the same folks and honestly being sexually suppressed?

Dear Wrestling Lesbian,
I completely understand what you’re going through. I went to school in east teIt’s hard to be in a place where your dating and social life are going sour. My advice would be to look at the bigger picture. Your main objective is to take advantage of your scholarship and get your degree. Honestly, it’s probably better that you don’t have too many distractions (which we ALL know lesbians can be at times 
) to get you off track of where you need to be. You have breaks and summers where you can come home and take advantage of your social life. College is temporary and although it seems to drag on and on, especially in rural areas without the “gay life,” you will be done before you know it, moving back home and hanging out with lesbians who will ALL wanna get to know you because they haven’t seen you before! AND you’ll be more marketable because we all want a sexy wrestling woman with a good head on her shoulders and a degree. Keep up the good work there in Marshall and we will see you back at home this summer! Hope that helps.
Dear Tasha Truth,
Every time I come to my parents about anything that I’m struggling with in my life, they always blame it on my sexuality. They don’t want me to leave them alone, yet they continue to ostracize me by blaming everything wrong in my life on the fact that I am a lesbian. What should I do?

Dear Anonymous,
How do YOU feel about it? Do you think your struggles are a direct result of your sexuality? If not, you will have to sit them down and let them know what’s up. Tell them that EVERYBODY struggles in this life, including them, and people will struggle regardless of their sexuality! They need to understand that you would like their assistance and support, but not if it means putting you down and degrading your lifestyle. I don’t think you have to completely leave them alone, but you might not want to go to them with your problems. There are other support systems that you can tap out, such as friends, other family (like cousins you can confide in), and Tasha Truth! You ALWAYS have a place in our family here!
Your Fam for life,
Tasha Truth, the ATM
