However, they became my friends, despite my own personal attraction to men, and I'm happy to say those lesbian women are still my friends today! So glad it's no longer a guessing game, though, for the gay/lesbian world. (I go to a U.U. Church in New York State, and was happy to be part of the wedding party of two gay men friends. What was funny was when a fire truck drove by during the picture taking session on the front lawn. They honked their horns, and several firemen were rubbernecking, eyeing the wedding party. I think they were looking for the bride, and couldn't find her.:))Makropouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578497184730763919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-23653995687241046042012-06-09T06:33:18.612-06:002012-06-09T06:33:18.612-06:00Now I'm worried because I have 2 cats, have sh...Now I'm worried because I have 2 cats, have short hair, wear plain clothes, have short nails and I divert attention away from myself!Workingdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431559781969929972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4666990364305390259.post-13526514519391479252012-06-09T05:59:41.931-06:002012-06-09T05:59:41.931-06:00So glad people just ask now!

I am as straight as an arrow (but have always supported the community and had gay/lesbian friends) but I never understood why I was always assumed to be a lesbian. But I did have...<br /><br /> 1. short hair, no makeup<br /> 2.a thumb ring, which I was told was supposed to be a signal... I never knew, lol!<br /> 3. plain and functional clothes, not lace or ruffles (I was a Alternative/Goth chick who liked ill fitting concert shirts more than anything).<br /> 4. has a cat (or two, or three...)<br /><br />But most of all my very best friend in my 20s was very "butch" (dressed in flannel, work boots, etc) and we were always roommates so everyone assumed I was the "pansy to her butch". The thing was, she wasn't gay at all... she just seriously liked to emulate whatever guy she was crushing on at the time - to the point of dressing like him.<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how far things have come in the past three decades? Now (for the most part) people don't really need to rely on these sorts of "clues".Winter P.
