RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! THE LESBIANS ARE COMING!
I feel a little bad about this post, and I haven't even written it yet. We live very close to the castro, and as everyone knows, it's gay pride weekend. So why have lesbians come to us in droves? We were eating breakfast at the Squat and Gobble and all of the sudden there were 20+ lesbians in line. It was like a big lesbian bus just pulled up and dropped them all off. I thought there were supposed to be very few lesbians. And it wasn't just there, they were everywhere! Normally, there are exceptionally few lesbians (or women for that matter) in the castro, and I hate to say that I like that it is mostly gay men. I do love many women, but I think I have to agree with a phrase I've heard many gay men say, "I don't like women around men." So often it seems like as soon as women are around straight men, this big presumption of entitlement comes up. You're supposed to hold doors; let them cut in line; buy them drinks; compliment them; and basically do everything in your power to get into their pants. Sorry! Not interested. And then I'm an asshole for not doing it. And why are lesbians so aggressive!? I won't recount all of my pushy lesbian stories because, eh, they aren't that exciting. JR actually tends to get in big arguments with them all of the time.
Now I walk down the street, and my "danger" signal keeps going off. Is it just me, or is there a spectrum of lesbians-straight men-straight women-gay men. I feel like the L and the G should be on opposite ends of the acronym because we are so different. And this whole post is a bunch of generalizations, and I'm sure there are many lesbians that don't fit this type, just like there are those gay men who love to fart loudly while watching football with their police buddies while drinking a cool "bud" and talking about cars. Come to think of it, I don't think I would be very keen on those guys either. So much for a supportive pride post. I'm happy for and support people expressing their gender in their own ways, but maybe I just don't want to hang out with them. Is that so bad?

I share a few points that G should be verry faaar from L, or vice versa. I don't dislike it when I see lesbian women around, its just that I expect and prefer to be around men (straight /and/or gay).
Your spectrum is accurate with my feelings too.
Everyone has their thing, and your not a bad person for that. As long as you respect other people and remind yourself that everyone is unique but equal, you're good.
No that's not so bad :) Although I tend to hang with the kind of gay guys you seem to detest LOL....including my BF who was a cop! :)
I'm with Gaydude on the cop thing. I have a blast with cops and gi's. Even though philosophically I'm an anarchist, I way get off to guys in uniform(they seem to get off to me too)
But angry women in sensible shoes? I stay far away.....
Le sigh...I love me some lesbians because today at the post Pride there was an amazing hip-hop lesbian group. Funny how I get along very well with them and I'm still for solidarity between the G and L ya know? Too bad it doesn't always seem to work that way :(
Missed seeing you today!
Owch. I know it's the blog world and many of us speak in hyperbole, but as a dyke daughter of gay men, I don't feel like (in your terms) the L and the G have to be so far apart. And it's the Castro in 2006... look around and more than a few of those boys you are checking out used to be dykes. :)
Um. I just stumbled here, so pardon my being a bit 'pushy' or 'aggressive' but I am soooo glad that I don't live in your gay ghetto. What a boring world that would be.
But it's your blog and your life so feel free to limit yourself!
I'm glad you said it and not me, because I wouldnt be that nice. Explain why it is to me every time I go out and the "girls" are there conflict seems to arise. Straight bars have men fist fighting over them while they put on some mating display that just makes me ill and bars with a significant amount of Lesbians always seem louder more rude and I always end up some how getting my lower back jabbed by some Lesbian trying to push me out of th eline so she can get her drink before me. I think they should take soem female hormones! Now I worked with Lesbians doing volunteer work and lots of them for over 7 years and I liked a few, but over all. Nope not really. They are just not nice to people, even each other. If they can take over my neighborhood which, yeah right it is "boring" (ever heard of tha Castro sweetie?) and shout anti male chants like they are getting rid of my gender, then dont expect any sweetness or sugar coming from me either, expect a battle. We should split and have our own organizations. When I did support groups, every single fricken time "Ok we dont have enough boys and girls, so can we maybe combine the two groups tonight?" Boys "yes we would love to" Girls "no, we have different issues they wouldnt understand". I understand ive heard your rhetoric If anyone started this distaste for the ladies who dig ladies or the fact it is like oil and water it is those rotten dykes and they arent all rotten, but many are.
