PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT BY TIFFANY ROUBERT
On May 1990, the General Assembly of the World Health Organization (WHO) removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders. The action served to end more that a century of medical homophobia; but whilst it has been taken of the mental disorder list, stigma and prejudice must still be removed from some people’s minds. Through a series of images, this photo-essay explores the daily life of Laura and Morgane. We’re invited into the freeing world of passion, truth and tenderness shared by two women. Here we see the unanimity of the concept of true love.
Love is too beautiful to be hidden in a closet.
No, I have not been hurt by a guy. I am not confused. It’s not just a phase. I don’t hate men. I simply want to marry a girl.
This girl.
I wanted to be the girl she would take long strolls in the park with on a warm Summer day.
I wanted to be the friend she would take into her arms and into the private world she kept trapped in her head. I wanted to be that kind of friend. The one who will memorise the things she said as well as the shape of her lips when she said them. I wanted to know every freckle, every shiver, every curve of her body.
I wanted to know where to touch her, I wanted to know how to touch her. I wanted to know how to convince her to design a smile just for me. Yes, I wanted to be her friend. The best friend in the entire world. The friend she would fall hopelessly in love with.
Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life; love shouldn’t be one of them.
It’s been occurring to me I’d like to hang out with her for my whole life.
