Who knew? Me.
I had two bosses who were an item.
They were sometimes called the most poorly closeted couple in Silicon Valley. Not that they were flamboyant, they just didn't make a big deal of it.
The proximity of Silicon Valley to San Fransisco and the high pay meant a lot of my coworkers were different...

What no gay women? Gay men do not like lesbians. For one thing, they are women.

If Gays are normal and just part of the human condition, why does everyone have to keep talking about them all the time?

"Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as f___, agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?"
"The man-hating dyke."
"Good. Why?"
"I don't know."
"Because the other three are figments of your f_______ imagination!"
