Are All Women A Little Bi? In A Word: No.
There is a long-standing stereotype that women's sexuality is more fluid than that of men — also known as the "all woman are a little bisexual" theory. The thing that annoys me about this stereotype is that it plays into the (mostly male) fantasy that there is some secret code or enough alcohol that will convince otherwise comfortably straight women (who are obviously fooling themselves) to engage in sexual activity with other women, while comfortably straight men are just, you know, straight. Besides the fact that very little sexuality is black and white — witness my gay neighbor's ostensibly "straight" dates coming by late at night, or the occasional sexual propositions I get at gay clubs, for instance — I also feel that it plays into this idea that you can "choose" your sexuality, that sexuality is a Pick-Your-Own-Adventure game and that women will be inspired or can be convinced to pick otherwise, which is really condescending. And, so, it doesn't surprise me that either Salon or the New York Times articles about Dr. Meredith Chivers' research into human arousal get it wrong. More »

The View Co-Hosts Engage In Girl-On-Girl Action At The Request Of A Gay Man
Today, Mario Cantone was on The View — on which he regularly appears as "the gay friend" — to plug his latest movie, Sex and the City, in which he appears as "the gay friend" to an entirely different group of women. The View ladies asked Cantone if he thinks they'll finally win the Daytime Emmy they've often been nominated for, but have never taken home. He said that they only way they'll win is if they go gay. In response, Whoopi and Joy embraced, and Sherri and Elisabeth followed suit. Leave it to the devout Christians to take it over the top; they ended up breaking the couch! Clip above.
Maj. Margaret Witt, a former flight nurse, is continuing her lawsuit against the military for dismissing her because of her sexual orientation. Witt had been in the military for 20 years and was honorably discharged in July 2007 for a relationship she had with a civilian woman from 1997 to 2003. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy and says that the government may investigate the private lives of homosexuals when they are "hurting" morale or troop readiness.

Nudie Text Censored At Texas High; Barbie Jumps On The Green Bandwagon
Officials at a Texas high school have their panties in a twist about nude pictures of women in the background of a German textbook. They will either ban the book or put a sticker over the naughty bits. • More banning! This time across the globe in India, some Hindu groups want to ban the Mike Meyers/ Jessica Alba film The Love Guru. • Starting next year, rape victims will be allowed to undergo anonymous ER forensic rape examinations if they do not want to go to police. According to Breitbart, "The new federal requirement that states pay for 'Jane Doe rape kits' is aimed at removing one of the biggest obstacles to prosecuting rape cases: Some women are so traumatized they don't come forward until it is too late to collect hair, semen or other samples." • Is Barbie getting eco-friendly with her new accessory line made from repurposed fabric? Not really. • Nina Simone's daughter, Singer...is a singer! She's releasing an album of Nina covers called Simone on Simone. More »

Dyke Drama Takes Center-Stage In Bad Girls Club
Cordelia on the Bad Girls Club clearly has issues, what with her admitted drinking problem and her tendency to go out of her way to create situations that make herself miserable. And on last night's episode, the stripper — who has slowly been coming to the conclusion that she is a lesbian — traded in her typically tit-touting outfits for a pair of jeans and a baseball shirt, and bemoaned the fact that her roommate Andrea's boyfriend Josh was in town. In fact, she made it her mission to try to get between the two of them while also stirring up shit with the other roommates so they would be angry at Andrea as well. Clip above.

The Bad Girls Act Like Lezebels
Cordelia likes her new roommate Andrea — really, really likes her. On last night's episode of Bad Girls Club, the two bonded by performing sexual acts on each other as a way of entertaining their boss Although it's nice to see Cordelia finally have a friend in that house, her enemies act just as Sapphic sometimes. Neveen was so "disgusted" that Cordelia was sleeping naked one night, that she felt compelled to take a picture. Clip above.

Obama Speech Draws Stark Distinction Between Haves And Have-Nots Of Oral Sex
So, that Obama speech. Hard to knock, right? Ha ha, we said hard, and some ("roaring straight!") writer guy in Park Slope, Brooklyn just wrote on Craigslist about how watching it at the corner store made him want to give Barack Obama a blowjob: "Even the lesbians were crying," he writes. And there is no one more mirthless and cynical than fucking dykes, right? Ha ha wrong! Right Wing news added five new gals to its lineup of blogging conservababes today, so we dutifully checked their sites to see how the "non-choir" perceived the speech. "He's done. If he ain't done, America is," claimed our favorite Zionist swimsuit blogger Pamela Geller. "He is going down the hate-mongering ship." Michelle Malkin wasn't much kinder. More »

Adrianne Curry's Husband Thinks She's A Lezzie
It's a little bit difficult to tell if the interactions between smug-marrieds Adrianne Curry (ANTM alum) and Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) on My Fair Brady are real — especially when the arguments they have seem as unbelievable as the one on last night's episode. Apparently, Chris has always had a fear that Adrianne is gay (but married her anyway), and after she gave him his birthday present — erotic photos of herself and her friend — it seemed to cement the deal for him. The two got in a huge fight that had Adrianne screaming, "I'm not a lesbian! I'm a Chris-ian." It kinda sounds like she's saying "Christian" at first, but then you realize she means "Chris" as in Chris Knight. Clip above.

Teen Prom: Grotesque Gowns & Girl-On-Girl Action
The new issue of Teen Prom has Kristin Cavallari on the cover and a gaggle of wretched dresses inside. The most interesting thing about the ads in the magazine? How extremely touchy-feely the female models have been directed to pose with each other. Some ads have male "prom dates" for the girls to stand with, but mostly they're just left to caress one another, drape themselves over each other and hold hands. After the jump, some fairly "friendly" poses, with home-made bubbles spouting poetry by Sappho. (Hey, it's one way to make sure you don't get knocked up on the big night, right?)More »

It's been apparent since day one that the best contestants on the bisexual reality dating show, A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila, are the lesbians. Last night's episode completely solidified that: At elimination, it came down to Vanessa and Brandi, and when Tila announced that she was going with Brandi, all hell broke loose. Vanessa jumped her and it took like five members of the production, three of the male contestants, and one butch lesbian to break up the fight. High heels went flying, a weave was pulled out, and the giant key prop was broken. In a shocking twist, a sobbing Brandi tells a teary Tila that she can't accept the key. And as Vanessa is exiting the house she collapses onto the pink shag welcome mat. To be continued...

Men With Eye-Lifts Look Like Lesbians
In today's New York Observer, writer, creative director of Barneys and noted New York wit Simon Doonan dares to write about a phenomenon we all know about but dare not speak of: Men who look like old lesbians. He professes his love for the Men Who Look Like Old Lesbians web site, where one can see horrifyingly fitting pictures of Ric Ocasek, Steven Tyler, and (wince!) Wayne Newton. Simon Doonan blames the eyelift, but we're not entirely sure what the problem is, especially when faced with an image of Bruce Jenner. Still, Doonan's point is that while there's nothing wrong with looking "as if you are riding a one-way ticket to the end of the line and the last stop is the Dinah Shore Weekend," the "Muffia," as the lesbian power club is known, is strong enough without recruiting any of these guys.
