Love Lesbians (I specially love me a butch). I also love that cake! And now I wanna take a boy on a date to a library on a rainy day and do all that ....
Hahahaha-I laughed all the way through this. My best friend locally is a gay man and I adore him. His partner died and I am trying to be his "wingwoman"...lol. xo Diana
Sorry, can't add any more lesbians. We ran out. There was a good supply but it seems they have been erased. (Don't believe me? Just ask your lesbian friends.)
@ Old Lurker -- The viewpoint that trans men, by transitioning to their true selves, are thereby engaged in "lesbian erasure" is an ugly and hateful expression of transphobia. I reject it utterly, just as I reject the equally transphobic TERF assertion that trans women are, and can never be, true women.
@Debra: I was thinking more of your friend who was mad that sapphic women are calling themselves "queer" and not "lesbian", but you are certainly right that the TERFs have some strong opinions on this.
@ Old Lurker -- The whole "queer vs lesbian" terminology debate is, I think, just my generation of second wave feminists not being able to let go of control in order to "allow" younger generations of third wave feminists to define themselves as they see fit, i.e. pure intergenerational conflict or "generation gap." I think it's the superficial part of the lesbian erasure debate; the uglier doctrinal views underlying the whole "they're stealing our butches" erasure argument is transphobia.
Debra, I remember that you are fond of labryinths. The labryinth in the Silver Springs Botanical Garden in northwest Calgary is coming into bloom right now. Here is a link, hope the link works. https://www.facebook.com/Silverspringsbotanicalgardens I believe it is a creeping thyme, but don't quote me on that. It blooms little purple flowers. If you are able to make it down to Calgary in the next little while I think it would be worthwhile to check out. It's free!
Lots of laughs, and a couple of head scratchers for me, Debra! I would love a library date like that. Sadly, Terry wouldn't. So I go to Barnes & Noble by myself. He would and has taken me to places like Pompeii and Angkor Wat. Now if he'd just get me to Petra! Happy Pride Month! Hugs to you, my friend!
@ Lady M -- Oh no, you made exactly the right Pride Flag, the one that includes every group in the LGBTQ+ community! Every group does have its own specific flag too -- there's SO many of them, I can't keep them all in my head at once! The lesbian flag is not one I've ever used in my own life. Too much pink. Makes me think of Barbie's Dream Accessories, LOL
Things to do today:
ReplyDelete1. Add more lesbians
Happy Pride Month,
ReplyDeleteThese are all true with a touch of sarcasm to it.
ReplyDeleteI love my lesbian friends wouldn't have it any other way. And I saw quite as little lesbians this weekend in Philly Pride.🌈🌈🌈

ReplyDeleteSorry, can't add any more lesbians. We ran out. There was a good supply but it seems they have been erased. (Don't believe me? Just ask your lesbian friends.)

@ Medi Cal -- Thanks so much for the info! This calls for a road trip SOON! Woo hoo, Calgary, here I come!
ReplyDeleteWell, Thor (the real god Thor, not the Marvel travesty) did dress as a woman once. Trying to pass as Freya, no less.
ReplyDeleteLots of laughs, and a couple of head scratchers for me, Debra! I would love a library date like that. Sadly, Terry wouldn't. So I go to Barnes & Noble by myself.

ReplyDeleteHappy Pride day.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
Thanks for the smiles..Enjoy Pride month!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is a lesbian flag too? Did I make the wrong one?

ReplyDeleteeverybody deserves to live their own best life
ReplyDeleteI'd leave a longer comment, but I've got to go add more lesbians!
ReplyDeleteI will have to ask my future ex-wife Kat how I go about finding more lesbians. Sadly few are available these days. I want proper ones too no rubbish.
ReplyDeletePost a picture on your blog of the labryinth if you decide to go!
ReplyDelete@ Medi Cal -- Oh yes, I'll do a post all about the labyrinth, with photos. I hope to get to Calgary this weekend. Looking forward to it!
ReplyDelete@ Medi Cal -- My post will be in early July once June's Translesbigayapalooza is over.
ReplyDeleteYes, we must add some lesbians! More more more!
ReplyDeleteGreets a fan... bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
