When even someone like actress Amber Heard is an open lesbian, then I’m not sure there’s a “look” anymore.

I would say the left and the culture at large has been wildly successful in making sure that any female born since the mid-1980s who would possibly ever engage in homosexual activity DOES do so. Outside of religious doctrine, there is absolutely no social discouragement to the behavior and there is plenty of encouragement. Where there is discouragement is for anyone saying the behavior should not be done.

I think I saw one poll a couple years ago that suggested about 15% of women were homosexual or bisexual, or perhaps had engaged in the behavior at least once, and this had gone way up compared to a poll a couple decades prior for the same question which was around 5%. That sample might have been limited to a younger age group, can’t remember. Such a big rise in a matter of years lends credence to the fact that social factors have a big influence on the behavior, not just genetics.

To see how insanely skewed the media has made the public’s perception of the prevalence of homosexuality, a recent Gallup poll says American adults think 25% of the population is gay, up from 21-22% about 10 years ago. But the Gallup survey cites a recent study by a guy who estimates only 3.5% of the population is non-heterosexual. I’d definitely say it’s closer to that number. Do people really think 1 out of every 4 people they’ve ever met is gay? I don’t even think 25% of the people as shown in Hollywood TV and movies are gay. But people obviously find it very hard to estimate a single digit percentage, which always sounds so small, compared to the huge, unwarranted media attention given to “gay issues.”

I read somewhere that there were two types of lesbians: dykes and fems. Fems do not look butch, they look like the actress in your link.
