I also believe that if people firmly approve of same sex relationships, it is a good thing for them to consequently participate in them in order to show that they endorse them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-46785881556810610432009-07-16T22:28:24.587-04:002009-07-16T22:28:24.587-04:00Anon--

The fact that two women can live happily together sans a man and the fact that gay men have a feminine stereotype is threatening to a male-dominated society.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393632283391798121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-37797698782152566182009-07-15T10:25:00.545-04:002009-07-15T10:25:00.545-04:00I'm a gay guy and i totally agree with laurens...I'm a gay guy and i totally agree with laurens comment. At least the second sex part. I'm a gay guy and because i'm feminime voiced i have to really keep it down in public. You know why that it is is because us gay guys are looked as girls. Here's what i think of that women are people to. What gives society the right to say women are second sex. It's obviously there are too many men in power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-84605886803601173442009-07-10T01:44:01.678-04:002009-07-10T01:44:01.678-04:00I'm surprised this post hasn't attracted m...I'm surprised this post hasn't attracted more attention. I'm, frankly, a little outraged that someone would "choose" lesbianism. Actually, I don't know how it's possible. Yes, you have control over your choices, but not your desires. Lesbianism is the desire, not the choice. <br /><br />In fact, lesbianism and feminism don't really have anything to do with each other. I identify as a lesbian because I'm exclusively emotionally and physically attracted to women; I identify as a feminist because it's apparent that women are often viewed as the "second sex" and it downright pisses me off. <br /><br />This idea of "political lesbianism" holds that it's somehow impossible to to be a straight feminist, which is a disgusting statement in and of itself. <br /><br />I'm open to hearing a defense of this practice, but I can't imagine that one would hold sensible logic.Laurenhttp://www.lifeunderage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-4999564135081031612009-07-09T21:50:57.180-04:002009-07-09T21:50:57.180-04:00I don't even like saying "I don't hav...I don't even like saying "I don't have a choice" because I'm not slave to my desires, I have control of my choices. I choose to date who makes me fulfilled and happy and all that, but I certainly can choose not to and marry someone who doesn't attract me at all.Buddhist, RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777947611604831806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-11333488862979968332009-07-09T09:52:48.712-04:002009-07-09T09:52:48.712-04:00I ran across this when I first came out.

So are 99 percent of bi and lesbian women.CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.com
