Prejudice
"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

Wonderful! More gay people should be like you
There are so many people who seem unable to separate a sexual preference from their behaviour in other aspects of their life. As if being gay = being camp.
I am a straight guy - but I'm not at all macho: I'm sensisitve, dislike sport, I love Eurovision music etc. There have been so many times people have assumed I was gay - and I've had to explain to them that those other factors have nothing whatsoever to do with which gender I am physically attracted to.
I often thought that the "pride" people are doing themselves a disservice, because they're deliberately segregating themselves out from society. Assuming that the ultimate "equal rights" goal for gay people is that sexual orientation be seen as nothing more spooky than the fact that some people have different colour hair - and are treated no different because of it (which I agree with) - then they're going about it all the wrong way, by camping it up.

"why are so many lesbians trying to look butch? i fancy WOMEN ... i want them to look like women."

That's all down to taste I suppose.
I happen to like slightly butch women - or more to the point, androgynous ones. That doesn't mean I'll turn down someone who is utterly girlie though.
