What do you guys think about Lesbians?
Say whatever the hell you want. I just want to see your opinions~

I don't mean to be rude, but can I ask one question?
Why are you singling out Lesbians? Why not make this a general, What do you think about people in a same-sex relationship? Like I said, don't mean to be rude, just a thought...

Anyways, on topic! ^.^'
I have no problems. I mean I'm bi-sexual myself. To me their just two people that are happy together. I really don't care what sex a person is, that means nothing when it comes to love.

Uh, actually flaming is against the general posting rules.

So I personally recommend that users do not flame in this thread. :)

I like lesbians, but there will just be some that I do not like. Or will not like.
There will be some straight people that I will never like.
There will be some gay people that I will never like.
There will be some transgendered that I will just never like.
I gotta say though, sometimes I get really annoyed with 'stereotypical' lesbians. You know the ones that are kinda bull-dyke, 'anything that is feminine is evil,' etc.

It's funny, I was trying to create a mental list of how many actual /straight/ friends I had, and I think I could only name like 14. The rest were all homosexual or bisexual xD

As a lesbian, I like myself (most of the time).
I like meeting other women who are lesbians because that's nice.
As Deviant said, there will be lesbians who I don't like.

Really, this might be naive, but I feel like the LGBTQ community has gotten a lot of acceptance. There are a LOT more bisexuals than there used to be, a lot more people out of the closet, and a lot less hate. Sure, there's still some bullying and ignorant intolerance, but not nearly on the scale it used to be. It used to be something foreign and strange, so of course people used to be afraid of it and against it. Now it's commonplace, so it's starting to not be such a big deal. I actually hate it when the LGBTQ community MAKES it a big deal. They want acceptance and equality but once they get equality, I feel like they still go overboard and draw attention to themselves to make sure EVERYONE knows they're gay, and EVERYONE knows they're proud of it, and they make it their defining feature. I understand pride and being out, but you don't need rainbows followin' you everywhere, know what I mean? It's not like straight people are all 'LOL GUYS I AM SO STRAIGHT I LOVE THAT PEE-PEE. REPRESENT!!' all the time.

I am a lesbian but I am not just a lesbian. When I introduce myself, I don't want my sexuality being the first thing people know about me. I'm not going to force it on anyone. I'll still talk about it from time to time, drop hints, particularly around a girl I'm interested in, but I'm not shouting into megaphones about it.

/rant

Like with anyone else, I view everyone equally like I do with well anyone.
I don't think I've met a lesbian in person. If I did I never noticed. Even when I did find out about someone's sexual preferences. I didn't treat them any different from before. Cause I have a sense of morals.

As long as they're nice to me, I'm happy, and I'm nice back. That does go for males, females, and whatever their sexual preference is.

I think lesbians get singles out moreso than gays. I'm not sure why. I think it's still a bit of a taboo subject, even though were surrounded by a lot of 'lipstick lesbians' (girls that will make out with other girls to get a guy's attention).

I don't mind the lesbians I've met. They're good people for the most part (as good as a regular person can get). One woman I know has been with her partner for 25 years. That's longer than most married couples, which is something I really respect abotu that couple.

People get freaked out when they see dykes, and I don't quite understand. I think they're kind of cute sometimes.
And that's coming form the perspective of another girl. ;)

I don't think anything about lesbians.
The same way I don't think anything about any large group of people.
Seems silly to have an opinion on a label.
That's like having an opinion on food, good food is good, bad food is bad. Good lesbians are good, bad lesbians are bad.
I need more information on someone than 'lesbian' to be able to make an informed opinion about them.

Interesting fact: In Hitler's Germany, homosexuality in men was clamped down upon, but lesbians tended to be overlooked. Go figure, eh?

I don't understand why female homosexuals are being differentiated from males. Other than that, I have nothing to say here. Whether I like a person depends on what that person is like.

I have nothing against Lesbians (as I am one myself), I should've have said "same-sex" instead, that sounds like a better way to put it. ><
Just wanted to see people's opnions on these people.

Lesbians are nothing different than any other people. I already posted a thread about homosexuality, whether it be males, or females. It really doesn't matter, and shouldn't be flaunted about just because it's a difference. I don't think it makes a person good or bad, it's just what it is.

That's like asking "What do you think of straight people?"

There are people that are assholes. There are people that aren't. I'm a lesbian, but I'm a person too. I'm a person, a human being, before my sexuality takes place. Treat me as a human, that's all I ask. I could care less about your sexuality and what people think of it. I am who I am, that's it.

What PWEEP said pretty much. Every time someone's like "you're a lesbian" or "you date girls". I reply with "and...?".

My sexuality is kind of complicated. I identify the most with being pansexual, if you want to put a label to me. I mostly lean towards women though. To put it blunt, I don't like penis. Penis just grosses me out for the most part. I'm not saying that I won't be in a relationship with a man because it has happened and I did love him but sexually, I am far more attracted to women.

I also have gender identity issues so the whole sexuality thing is more complex because of that too.

So yeah, sexuality is complicated and does not define a person as who they are.

I have no problem with lesbians. So long as they dont try and steal whatever girl Im dating at the time, Im cool. Plus, lesbians make the best wing-mate when you are out trying to find a girl. :P

I love Lesbians, I admit to being a fag-hag at times

Oh pardon me, an 'alternative lifestyle companion' (thank you Khandi Ling XD)

I've experimented enough to know I'm strait, but I think I could fall in love with a girls personality, though physically it just won't happen.

I just don't really like the girls who seem to do it for attention, like, I went to high-school with these two girls who were together- which is fine itself- but I thought it was a bit weird that they never held hands and only made-out (and went really far, like second base far) in public like the cafeteria, and then when a teacher told them only one person to a chair, they whined for HOURS about being treated with prejudice even though the same teacher told the strait couples the same thing.

actually lesbians were considered mentally ill and wore the black triangle

homosexuality in men was considered being a sexual deviant, so they were lumped in with the pedophiles and rapists- pink triangles >.<

How messed is that?

No problem! I just didn't want to see the topic get locked because of it. :)

I have no problem with gay's or lesbian's. I just don't like the lesbians who are all dyke like or whatever. And so long as my son doesn't see it, I'm totally fine. I don't mind them holding hands or kissing, but if they are going to kiss, please do so where my 3 almost 4 year old can not see it. I want him to grow up to become a teen, then decide which he is. I don't want him being like 9 and saying he's gay or whatever. Because that to me is just peer pressure. lol. I actually have a few gay, lesbian and bi friends. I don't have any problem at all. :)

Children who grow up in those kind of homes understand them better than everyone else. Dispite what I know everyone's going to say about my post on the other thread, I don't hate them, and I don't think that they do not deserve children. Everyone has the right to love who they feel they love.

You know, Knight, your post really reminds me of the racists who say they don't want their children dating blacks and then say, "Oh, I'm not racist, I have black friends!". If you differentiate between gays and straights, you're a homophobe. Get over yourself.

Philomel, you NATURALLY assume that I hate things like that. That's what you call sterotyping. I don't want my son seeing that because he's innocent right now. When he gets older, then he can decide. I'm not teaching him that gays are evil or that being gay is wrong. I want him to decide for himself later on in life.

I agree with Philomel 100%. If you don't want your son to be a victim of this contorted view of "peer pressure" that you have (which can't even be called peer pressure... this is an example of heteronormative values versus homosexual exposure... total difference), then move to a third-world country where homosexuals are executed. Like Uganda, for instance! Your son will be very safe from ever seeing more than one sexuality openly displayed for the rest of his life. :yes:

But yeah. :lol: Deal with it. In the modern world, in this modern society, kids should be expected to be exposed to anything and everything that isn't inherently a bad influence. Unless you assume homosexuality is immoral, which, well... Is clearly the matter of definitions - among other things. :roll:

He'll be pressured even more if he turns out to be biologically homosexual (whoa! is it possible?! Is There a 'Gay Gene'? ) and continues to wither in the heteronormative society you've insofar decided is best for him.

Just, for the love of Pete (whomever he is), be a decent parent and let your child become exposed to a diverse array of people. Let him decide what's normal and what isn't. Let him decide what he wants to be and what he doesn't want to be.

Don't limit the society he's thrust into. That'll be a rude ass awakening when he's a teen and is so overexposed to heterosexual couples that he has an inward struggle with his own sexuality.

Gays acting affectionately towards other gays while a child may or may not be a passive witness is considered peer pressure?

Also, ditto whatever Facade said. And I lol'd at Uganda. Teehee.

Bottom line: homosexuality is not a contagious disease that people can catch just by witnessing it.

...No. You hate gays. Alright? You do, as much as Phelps and Robertson and any other homophobe or you would not see a difference between two men or women kissing and a man and woman kissing in front of your child. That's not stereotyping, that's stating a demonstrated fact.

I don't want my son seeing that because he's innocent right now. When he gets older, then he can decide. I'm not teaching him that gays are evil or that being gay is wrong. I want him to decide for himself later on in life.

Here's the thing. If you believe viewing other people as, you know, people is something subjective that should be left up to him if he so "chooses", then you do not believe it yourself.

And as for the "innocent" remark, that's problematic for a lot of reasons. Homophobia isn't a trait you're born with, so if he were truly innocent and you hadn't tainted him with your homophobia, he would not think anything of seeing two men kissing. It's also showing how much you hate us, because you believe we are corrupt, that what we are and do is corrupt, and thus should not be seen by an "innocent".

You obviously have a problem with it then. You're not allowing people to be who they are. I know plenty of straight women who are "dykes" if you want to stereotype. They have short hair, wear "guy" clothes, and don't wear makeup/other "girly" things. Are you okay with that? What about feminine men, who are straight? I shouldn't HAVE to be a "girl" and do "girl things".

And so long as my son doesn't see it, I'm totally fine. I don't mind them holding hands or kissing, but if they are going to kiss, please do so where my 3 almost 4 year old can not see it.

Fine. But don't you and your boyfriend (husband? fiance? I don't know) kiss in front of my little sister. God forbid she grows up to be straight. If it's fine for hetersexual couples to kiss in public, it's fine for homosexual couples too. If I want to kiss my girlfriend, I'm going to do it. I don't care if your son sees or not.

Children who grow up in those kind of homes understand them better than everyone else. Dispite what I know everyone's going to say about my post on the other thread, I don't hate them, and I don't think that they do not deserve children. Everyone has the right to love who they feel they love.

I'll go ahead and assume you didn't grow up in that sort of household, by your judgmental views. You don't hate them, but they can't be around your sign. Sure, that makes total sense.

Love is love, simply put.
No one chooses it, it just happens.

As for my opinion of Lesbians, I don't mind them.
As long as they don't gallivant about putting on public displays of affection.
That said, I feel the same way about all couples, gay or straight.
Just keep it behind closed doors and I'm happy.
