As far as stereotypes go, I just don't fit in. I rarely leave the house without my makeup and hair in place. I scream if a bug touches me or flies near me.

All I can do with my car is drive it, take it through a car wash and put gas in it. Oh, and I am a lesbian.

Stereotypes towards the LGBT community are commonly known; feminine guys and masculine girls. I know that these stereotypes stem from somewhere. But just like all other stereotypes, they do not always hold true.
