Another proud lesbian here, delurking to say hello.

Elendon · 26/04/2018 14:10

Hi there, my daughter is a lesbian, though she prefers the term gay. She doesn't like men in that way.

Elendon · 26/04/2018 14:12

Oh and happy Lesbian Day of Visibility.

Italian, I'll be joining the club too if this one goes tits up. Grin

Here's to future political lesbianism (is it still technically political lesbianism if you do actually already like women?) Wine

MrsKateR · 26/04/2018 14:15

you have all restored my faith. This year the day isn't even trending on twitter. I was starting to think my "erasure" was really happening but now I'll just keep on lesbian-ing...

"Here's to future political lesbianism (is it still technically political lesbianism if you do actually already like women?)" I don't know but I think I could have been a lesbian, but maybe not! Who knows. I think I just want to support other women!

Twitter needs to woman up!

Happy lesbian visibility day lesbians of MN Smile!

Elendon · 26/04/2018 14:34

is it still technically political lesbianism if you do actually already like women?

Good question. I would counter do you fancy all men? The answer would be if het, no of course not! Which brings me to wonder why some women fear lesbians in case they fancy them, yet they love all men.

I like women too. There are some women I fancy, but most of them I like.

Raises mug of tea to your lovely lesbianish leanings @MrsKateR, and wishing you and all the other visible lesbians a fabulously visible, entirely unerased day, week, month year and lifetime of visibly living lesbianly!

Vive la visibility!

YourVagesty · 26/04/2018 14:50

Not a lesbian but a firm ally so have a very happy Lesbian Day of Visibility! Cake Cake Cake

Make yo'selves visible, lesbianly.

Wishing you all and my lesbian friends and family a visibly fantastic day! Smile

defectiveinspector · 26/04/2018 14:58

Ha ha Ifnot, I might try that and spend the day being visibly straight instead. I wonder if I'll get away with itSmile.

@Elendon "Hi there, my daughter is a lesbian, though she prefers the term gay. She doesn't like men in that way." I wonder if there is some issue with the word 'lesbian'. My niece is a lesbian but doesn't like the word lesbian so uses 'gay' or sometimes 'bi' but she has said she doesn't really like males in that way.

JaneR0chester · 26/04/2018 15:51

I'm a mother to 2 lesbians. I was only informed a few months ago, it's all quite new for me... my girls have obviously considered it for a long while. I'm grateful they feel comfortable and confident to share with me.

MrsKateR · 26/04/2018 16:23

@JaneROchester wow thats a lot to take in I bet! My mum really struggled with it, but it was generally a bit grim in the 80s for coming out. Your girls are coming out in a much better time, despite all the hysteria in the media.
