The conversations of a lesbian

·         As a lesbian I am told and asked a lot of stuff. I know that other lesbians will understand this. And for the straight people you may realize that you have said one of these things to a lesbian.


·         You’re too pretty to be gay!
o   No I am too pretty to be straight. That’s just my opinion though.
·         I don’t want you to try to make me gay.
o   I promise there isn’t a gay meeting every week where if we turned a certain amount of people gay we get a free toaster. Plus just because you are a girl does not mean I want you.
·         How do you know you’re gay if you haven’t even tried being with a guy?
o   Well how do you know you’re straight if you haven’t tried being with a girl? I don’t have to try anything with a guy to know because only girls give me butterflies.
·         So how do lesbians have sex?
o   Use your imagination. I don’t think it’s hard to figure out.
·         That is so gay! Oh no I’m sorry I forgot about you being a you know what.
o   Gay, queer, faggot, dyke, ect. These words don’t bother me. In fact I use them often when teasing my friends. It’s not a derogatory word unless you let it be. If I am called a faggot I just smile and say “damn straight!”
·         I know you are gay but can I at least watch?
o   No. Go away now.
·         You just haven’t met the right guy yet.
o   Correct! For one simple reason, there is no Mr. Right for me because I want a Mrs. Right.
·         Are you sure this isn’t just a phase?
o   I’ve been aware of my sexuality for almost 8 years now. It is nowhere close to being a phase.
·         So who is the boy and who is the girl in the relationship?
o   With this one I just assumer someone doesn’t know what a lesbian couple is because we are both girls. That’s the whole point of it.
·         Your family is okay with you being gay?!
o   Yes they are and they are very supportive. When someone asks that though they seem so shocked which leads me to believe they aren’t so okay with it.
·         Hello I am bi curious and since you’re a lesbian I thought we could do something ;)
o   Yes hi hello. NO!!! No lesbian wants to be some experiment. Especially because you catch those things called feelings and the girl decides she is straight.
·         Are you really holding her hand in public?
o   First off I don’t even know how many times I have held hands with my sister or one of my friends in public. Second yes I am holding her hand in public because I am proud to be who I am and of who I am with. Straight people get to hold hands and so do I!
·         You don’t look like a lesbian.
o   There are many types of lesbians.
§  Studs/ Butch: Those are the lesbians that people think all lesbians should look like.
§  Chapstick: I am a chapstick lesbian. I am feminine but I am not super girly.
§  Lipstick: A lipstick lesbian is the kind of lesbian people are shocked is a lesbian. They are the ones with dresses, skirts, and make up.
·         You’re going to go to hell. (This is a personal favorite of mine)
o   I personally do not believe that homosexuals will go to hell just for following their hearts. In the case that we do it’ll be like a party. Gay people are a lot of fun!
o   So that’s a few things I have heard more than once. I don’t mind answering the questions but I hate the comments. So next time before you talk to a lesbian think before you speak because not all lesbians are okay with those questions.

  1. Good for you Baby girl, Maybe more people should talk to you as a person and not a lesbian and the world would be a better place. Love you always.
