There’s no “politically correct” way to say it; I’ve had so many lesbians as friends over the course of my life that I’m probably too comfortable around them. I kid around with them in a manner that can appear “offensive” to outsiders. Folks, maybe the Sapphists are different where you<\/em> come from, but in my personal experience,\u00a0real\u00a0<\/strong>lesbians are borderline impossible to offend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve lived in Atlanta, Georgia since 2002. If gays and lesbians bug you, as I’ve said, you generally pick someplace else to live. Atlanta lesbians are some of the most respectable, upstanding members of the community I’ve ever encountered. They’re almost ridiculously easy to get along with.<\/p>\n

I live in a city with a substantial lesbian population, and despite their sometimes masculine mien, I can\u2019t picture or recall them whistling, even while performing dirty jobs and chores. Plumbing, home repairs, demolitions, landscaping, you name it- lesbians go in like black ops and work like surgeons. The first house I lived in when I came to Atlanta was bordered on all four sides by lesbian couples.\u00a0We didn’t need to lock our door.<\/em> [“Women Don’t Whistle<\/a>“]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My “point” is, I make “lesbian jokes” because I’m more comfortable with them than you are. So\u00a0ha.<\/em><\/p>\n

“LUG”\u00a0<\/strong>is an acronym for\u00a0L<\/strong>esbian\u00a0U<\/strong>ntil\u00a0G<\/strong>raduation. It’s a derisive term for girls who muff-dive while they’re away at college, then marry (a dude) and produce children immediately after receiving their diploma. Sometimes they employ the venerable “bisexual” excuse, but typically they go mega-hetero and traditionally feminine, while cutting off all acquaintances from their alma mater. One could argue that this phoenix-like rebirth is disingenuous, sociopathic, shallow, and evidence of improper upbringing, not to mention insulting to real homosexuals. Men who gay it up in college don’t generally get to switch teams afterward without severe and legal repercussions.<\/p>\n

Here’s the Indigo Girls song that I used to enjoy in the olden days, before people were all about\u00a0casting aspersions upon one another.<\/em><\/p>\n
