In the midst of all the discussion, I received this comment…
\n“Just saw your “How dare you presume I’m heterosexual!” comment, and it made me wonder…and this is a serious question…does it ever piss you off to be lumped in with the whole “LGBT” category?

\nI’m not really sure I understand the question here, why would it piss me off? I am part of the whole LGBT community.
\nDoes it upset me that it seems to be the only way the media will show any of us, say at a pride parade or event seems to be the most ‘flaming’ of us all?
\nDoes it irk me that very little of what people see of us have anything to do with what we’re really like? that we have lives, families, loves, and are really not any different from the whole ‘straight’ community, except for the gender of the person we love?
\nDoes it bother me that people seem to think our lives are all about promiscuity, and nothing about commitment and love, and they’re doing their damndest to see that we are never able to be legally committed to each other?
\nYes, that bothers me!
\ndoes being called a lesbian, damn lesbian, fucking carpet muncher, damn dyke, etc…bother me? nope, it certainly does not. (however, I am not a dyke, I am a femme, if you’re not certain of the difference I’ll elaborate, or someone here will I’m sure! :lol)
\nDoes it bother me to be associated with the ‘flamer’s’, absolutely not!! They, in their way, I believe, are working towards the same goal all of us are, and that is no more, and no less, rights than the straight community as a whole take for granted everyday.
\nhope this answers your question :sun_smiley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
