Title: Question on lgbt
Post by: CaptFido87 on April 02, 2015, 06:05:25 PM
Hi folks,

So I'll be honest here, what's the difference of being "gay" or "lesbian"? are they not the same thing or are they gender specific. I've been thinking about it lately and was curious. Anyone know

They are both gay, but only the women are lesbian. Just a distinction to make people under that umbrella happy I suppose.

I feel compelled to ask what the Marsh Monster's orientation is. ....you DO reproduce, don't you?  :laugh:

Hugs, Devlyn

getting  a little personal there.  I'm a bit sensitive about my genetic makeup.

But really, not being silly, I am asexual and I've always been sterile. Probably  a good thing, any kid of mine would likely have had to have a lifetime of therapy to deal with it.

I understand.  I have some plant in me, too. I fondly remember my aunt, Rosie Palm.  >:-)

I'm good with "gay".  "Lesbian" has 3 syllables as opposed to one.

In my experience, "gay" refers most often to male homosexuals. <---word with 5 syllables! <---another three syllable wurd!

Of course, it can be used for any same-sex relationship, M2M, F2F, O2M, O2F, O2O, NYDB*, etc.






*NYDB = Nun Yo' Damn Biz'ness
