My name is Tina Black. If you were to look at me, you would probably think that I have the perfect life. I stand five feet ten inches tall, lean and athletic, with short black hair and pale bronze skin. My eyes are a pale brown. Recently, I graduated from Boston University with an MBA. Currently, I work for Blake Enterprises, a large pharmaceutical company based in New England. I'm only twenty two years old. A prodigy. Impressive, huh?
I've got looks, and brains, and I come from a solid background. My father James Black is a Congressman. My mother Elisabeth Johnson Black is a state representative. Both of my parents are into politics. They're both staunch conservative Republicans. As for myself, I'm as liberal as they come. I'm a raging liberal with a capital L. Trust me on that one. In my years in college, I've experimented a little. If you were good-looking, rich and powerful, or simply adventurous, you would experiment too. Yeah, I did my share of experimenting.
I've had two relationships which I shall never forget. The first was my girlfriend Amy Stuart. Amy Stuart is this girl I met in my first day at the school. A tall, slim and athletic blonde. Amy Stuart was a point guard for the B.U. Women's Basketball team. We had the same Psychology class together. We ended up becoming friends and later, lovers. This was my very first serious relationship. I introduced Amy to my parents. As you can imagine, it caused a little stir. The daughter of powerful members of the Republican party was a dyke. Wow. The media had a field day with the story. I didn't care. I was young and in love. To my parents dismay, I refused to hide who I was.
One day, Amy and I walked around City Hall holding hands. We even kissed. The media loved us. Oh, yeah. All of a sudden, I was popular. The Amazing Lesbian Daughter of the Republican Party. Wow. Yeah, it was like that. I loved the attention, I must admit. Most of the time, the spotlight was on my parents but I enjoyed my days of fame. Amy did not crave the spotlight like I did. In the end, I think it's what broke us up. Amy was out of the closet but did not care to be hounded by the paparazzi everywhere we went. After a while, neither did I but by then, it was too late.
