I can only speak from a lesbian prospective though, so here goes. I hate Pride and GLBT events because it all seems to be such negative behavior, porn and indecency going on at such events. Like I remember one Pride fest a girl reading explicit sexual poetry over a loud speaker and there were families with young children there! Or people were all but crawling into each others pants there in broad daylight.

But even worse I'm a lesbian that isn't butch yet not extremely femme either. Yet all the lesbians in my town I know are very butch. All they are into is mountainbiking and their dogs and having armpit hair that is 6 inches long. I mean that's all they talk about is dogs and where they went mountainbiking, climbing or hiking. They are just like little boys, not 40-60 year old mature women. They are all athletes even playing on ball teams when they are in their older years. Isn't there a time when you should grow up and act like an adult? I know exercise is good but they are like children. They are also overly indulgent and talk only about the latest electronic toys they have and none of them are active as volunteers and such unless its with GLBT organizations. Many of them refuse to interact with anyone who is not gay or lesbian. All the lesbians I know drink, yet I don't care to. I just don't fit in.

Am I the only mature somewhat feminine lesbian who doesn't have a dog nor mountain bike and has straight friends and doesn't play softball and shaves hers legs and pits, doesn't drink, have tatoos and a dozen piercings? I feel like such a weirdo. Oh and I'm still single btw. And I guess I'm even weirder because I really want children and a monogamous relationship for life.
Maybe it's were you live. In Seattle where I live there all kinds of lesbian and bisexual womem. Some are very butch some are femme and some are inbetween or as I like to say "just me".
Last week I went out on a date with a 60 year old woman who is neither butch or femme. Neither am I. In fact I would have to say most of the gay women I know don't really fit into either catagory. However lots of us own dogs.
