Please don’t use homophobic slurs in your posts. As a lesbian, I do not appreciate it when straight people use the word “dyke.” It’s offensive. Your post comes across as not only frustration with people misinterpreting your actions as “hitting on them,” but also as an expression that there is something “wrong” with being a lesbian. I can understand you’re frustration that you are being misunderstood, but you can express that without using homophobic language.
