my hypothesis is they want their own label. It is an identity thing as stated before. I work with a lesbian and 2 gay dudes in my office. the lesbian is always *****ing about how men keep her down and we are all dogs and such and the gay guys are always happy and.............well gay.

i am certainly not stereotyping lesbians as man hating butch's i just think they feel their situation is different than gay men's so they want their own moniker and gay men said it was OK as men control everything anyway. lol

dont listen to me that is certainly me talking out my ass
