Well, it may not be a popular response here, but I wish Sasha well. I'm a flaming heterosexual male and, like her Uncle Tony probably would respond, I have no damn idea why women intrigue me so much. I'll bet Sasha doesn't either.

Regardless of whether she's lesbian, queer, gay, or (excuse me, Sasha) a fag, I'm certainly not in a position to be her judge. BTW, why do you people use name calling so much?

I can believe that advocacy is her job. I think of it as reproduction. Hetereosexuals have sex and create babies, which perpetuate the species. Homosexuals can't do that. Their only alternative is identifying other homosexuals somehow (perhaps by creating a club in a high school) and then joining forces to advocate (so there is vocal, widespread perpetuation of the lifestyle). Without those political tools, there would literally no way to determine sexual preference in public and no way to pass on the lifestyle in an organized manner.

I would think that homosexual advocates would tell horror stories of "lonely" gays and lesbians unable to articulate their feelings or find companionship and couples hiding in the shadows fearing persecution. Politics therefore becomes a kind of analogy for heterosexual reproduction.

Just a thought.

Cigarettes used to be called fags.

Yesterday, I asked my rehab tech if i can buy a new hand glove.
she asked what was wrong with the old one,
I told her it was all fagged out.

You'd a thought I openly laid a turd the punch bowl.

What do you call a lesbian with big fingers?

Unfortunately, some people do that. I think one reason is that there are trolls here who are actually not Freepers and looking to shed this website in a bad light.

I agree with you - it's the subtle way to make FReepers look stupid.

--I'm about the same--no particular problem with lesbians since neither daughter married one. Anyhow, they are fun to watch----(attempted humor)

"Another LUG... (lesbian until graduation)"

LOL!! A hetero girl I worked with in college had this "lesbian" friend. The year that I knew them, I never knew her to go with a girl but I know she did hook up with her ex-boyfriend a few times. She would be all down on herself for doing it. It was funny. She was trying hard to be a lesbo but failing miserably. She did have the flannel and combat boots down, though.

You will save yourself untold wasted years if you get it through your head that 99% of people don't care what anybody is saying 99% of the time.

She refers to herself as a "queer" but considers "fag" a pejorative? Go figger.

Thank you.

Waiting for the punchline was starting to bug me.

--you can say that again--as I found out when somebody from DU mistook my cynical sarcasm for real and put it on DU several days ago--at least their poster #21 got it partly right--

The poor thing is broken and it's pretty obviously her mom's fault. Her mother abandoned her and typical to the pattern once she got her mom back she was willing to change anything and everything to impress her.

[Sasha's mother] Hansen, who is now remarried, has a liberal philosophy about sexuality and a wide circle of gay and lesbian friends. One lesbian couple, in particular, was especially close to the family, coming over for barbecues and movies. Sasha loved them but felt bewildered at the same time......About the same time, Sasha began questioning her own sexuality. What followed were several years of silent struggle after she realized she had a crush on her best friend. Ultimately, Sasha decided her Sunday school teachers were wrong.

Let's see: broken family, super-lib mother with a "lesbianism is just another lifestyle" approach to raising her child, chaotic teen years -- sounds like everything collided just as the homosexual lobby likes it.

There's just so much appalling about this whole article. It's not just the obvious "ick" factor of the lesbianism itself, but the condescending attitude shown for the religious beliefs of the family and the matter-of-fact way the author essentially congratulates Sasha on "overcoming" them.

Anyone who doesn't believe there's an purposeful agenda being carried out by the homosexual lobby needs to open their eyes.

Where I come from, fag is only used for male (such as they are) queers. The feminine equivalent would be dyke.

"I'm OK," Sasha says, "as long as they don't call me a fag."

So "dyke" is OK?

"She understands how difficult it is to overcome church teachings."
Now that says quite a bit about the writers perspective doesn't it?
