Contradiction in terms.
Oh, yeah ... there’s nothing like a lesbian relationship to bring out the very worst in “domestic violence” ...
My favorite of the Old Dear Abby columns was when a woman wrote that there were two women living in the apartment across the hall from her who never had any male visitors. The woman asked, “Do you think they are Lebanese?”
Dear LACKING CERTAINTY IN CALIFORNIA,
Get out of California, ASAP........................
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer.
When I was a young girl like normal girls do
I looked to a woman’s love to help get me through
I never needed any more than a feminine touch
I hated the thought of kissing a man it really was too much
I did not drink, I did not smoke I did not say “goddamn”
I was polite I was sensitive before I loved a man
My family, they were proud of me were proud of what I am
But then along came Lester and my tell of woe began
(Chorus)
I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer
My life was so much simpler when I was sober and queer
But the love of a strong hairy man has turned my head I fear
And made me spend my last ten bucks on birth control and beer
It was June 1983 when Mary Lou and I did part
She said she loved another dyke my god, it broke my heart
I was bitter and disillusioned to lose another girlfriend
Lester came to work at Papa’s store and decided to ease on in
Before my last heartbreak nothing made me more sick
Than a hairy-chested, cheap double-breasted suited man with a hard dick
I guess that I was courios I guess that I was young
I guess it was that rum and coke I guess that I was dumb
(Chorus)
For of course, for a woman to love a man she must also love to booze
If a woman don’t drink beside her man then she will surely lose him
As I sit in this hetero honky-tonk and reflect upon my past
I think about those girlfriends and why they didn’t last
For there’s certain thrills that lesbian love simply cannot supply
Like paying for abortions from sperm gone awry
And so I say to you my friends without this man I’d die
So listen to my tell of woe and hang your head and cry
(Chorus)
Abusive relationships are certainly not exclusive to heterosexuals.
Trying to unpack this so I can understand it.
The writer is female and is a lesbian, “married” to a woman. She has met a man on some website and grew emotionally attached to him. She is wondering if she is really lesbian, or maybe if she is normal.
Reply from “dear Abby.” Hell no! You’re not normal! You need to see a shrink. Go talk with some gay or lesbian people right away.
The key fact is that she seems to be attracted to presumably handsome male actors. Physical attraction to males is making her doubt that she is a lesbian. Isn’t there a bi category? The resolution of her dilemma seems fairly simple to me. I bet her lesbianism is more political than real.
I am so glad I am in my 60’s.
The poor people younger than 40 are in for a real mess of a life.
Dear Abby, dear Abby
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren’t so expensive I’d wish I were dead!
Signed, Unhappy
Unhappy, Unhappy
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood!
(The late GREAT John Prine)
Women can choose to be lesbian.
Men usually get initiated into being gay by groomers.
No need to understand anything more than the fact that women understand women, and they hate each other.
Your nearest LGBTQ Community center is located at your local public pre-school just for your information.
Seriously, what are they going to actually tell this woman? You're probably straight? I don't think so. Go and get to the community center to be reindoctrinated. What a joke.
I believe that most gay people these days are gay because they’ve been told by the media, the schools and their peers that it’s cool and “edgy.” Z-lennials are very into being “edgy.”
I liked BZ’s advice in the comments:
Lacking: Life can be like deciding on flooring when renovating a house. You can try a bunch of carpet samples, but sometimes you figure out that hardwood is for you.
I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body!
Michael Dukakis had ancestors who lived on the island of Lesbos so they were genuine Lesbians.
