am i, like, the only lez here? i mean, 99% of the dudes who post here are gay, and that's sweet. but are there really no gay ladies? on this whole big message board? how odd ...

has anyone else noticed this? gay is so chic these days. but "gay" in pop culture never means gay women. it's like, we're all living in the same gay house, and the lezbos are in the attic training dogs and exchanging flannel shirts or something.

just some observations.

It is? I think only in really lame ways, like Will and Grace. I realized a couple nights ago just how much people still really hate gay people when I was at the A's game and when the game turned sour, lots of homophobic comments came spewing from the fans (i.e., the Tigers are "f-g-ts"....which, maybe was a compliment, like "gay people are talented, composed, and can perform under pressure.). When things get bad, start yelling antigay stuff.

I don't think gay is chic, and even if it is, I'd rather have things like equal rights than movies with the obligatory gay best friend.

I'm digressing, sorry. Carrie, I think that gay women are actually pioneers in creating an openly gay pop culture. kd, Melissa, and Ellen's coming out set the way in my opinion.

This isn't what you're looking for, but I've always considered myself to be a lesbian trapped in a gay guy's body. Both of my partners moved in within days after we met. What's the joke, what do lesbians give each other as a gift on the second date: a U-Haul. Something like that.

Anyway.
