    Dan's advice depends on whether or not he's sober or hung over or in a bad mood or sick or at a family Thanksgiving dinner. Which only makes it more entertaining.

    I don't really understand the point of this exercise. Are you encouraging people to compile and laugh so that you can help reinforce people's roster of lesbian stereotypes? Or to encourage self-loathing in people who identify with these unfortunate cliches?


    I'm all for pointing the media's ineptitude at understanding gay culture, but it's absolutely unfeminist for Jezebel to publish an article that does nothing more than echo the same tired ideas.

    "History: Must have been abused."


    That recalls the "Loveline" shows where a caller identifies herself as a lesbian or bisexual and is immediately asked by Dr. Drew if she was sexually abused as a kid.

    What? Where's the stereotypical love for Xena the Princess Warrior?


    There are also the stereotypical lesbian professions of park ranger, jazz musician and auto mechanic.

    Lesbians also only shop at Whole Foods or their local co-op (preferable). They get their bathing suits from Land's End or Speedo and wear Tevas. They love to adopt little girls from China (contributes to total world lesbian conversion plan). They are either Unitarian or Wiccan. They had/have a thing for horses as kids.

    Haw, that reminds me of the Moon Song scene in the movie, "Citizen Ruth."

    My mom wears Birkenstocks, often without socks, has short hair, likes to wear baggy clothes, wants a Melissa Etheridge song played at her funeral, has two cats AND doesn't shave her legs.


    But me and my dad already tease her about being mistaken for a lesbian. She feels pretty secure in her sexuality, though, having been married to my dad since 1977.

    I used to live with a lesbian and she said real lesbians don't carry purses but wear wallets. And you get made fun of by other lesbians if you don't.

    In the car section, there needs to be a sublisting of bumperstickers: rainbow flag, Grateful Dead bears, that Coexist sticker, something having to do with vegetarianism, and something having to do with the environment and/or Mother Earth.

    the pets part is totes wrong. The stereotypical lesbian owns a dog, preferably some type of retriever or lab. Or if you're like my mom and her wife you own three dogs, four horses, four cats and foster care kittens from time to time. Also you would have cats named Thelma and Louise.

    Is your Mom nearing 50? That might explain it.

    @Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: She just hit 50 last year, actually...good guess! :)


    Part of her gay agenda was instilling me with a love for good music, and k.d. and Joanie are high on my list of favourite artists and also just general bad-ass women I admire.
