Is that lesbian word still used?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Or is it just gay for any gender now? (I know people also use queer). I heard the word lesbian the other day and it felt like an outdated word because I haven’t heard it in so long.
I assume posh women would prefer the term lady gay. |

I am even older than you and often wondered where the “friends of Dorothy” expression came from? At school we used to say I wouldn't like to put my finger in that “Dyke” is that word still used in these enlightened times? |

I don't imagine that "dyke" would have wanted your finger in her anyway |

Judy Garland is a gay icon hence "friends of Dorothy" hopes this answers it for you  |

It's the the L in LGBTQ...+ So I'm guessing it's still relevant; maybe because some of these terms are seen as being interchangable and, some are used more than others as a kind of 'catch-all' term. As these categories are listed separately in the LGBTQ...+ Abbreviation,it makes sense to me that they are all relevant and are different. |

Talking of ‘catch all’, doesn’t the T stand for trans? If so, that isn’t a sexual preference. Smacks of “let’s lump all the folk different from us into one big group so they can all have a day and talk to each other about cushions.” |

These days are getting less enlightened by the month and there are a vocal number of LGB that want to get rid of the T exactly because it's not a sexual preference.
Trans activists were prominent at the stonewall riots. We earned our place.

Absolutely. There's not LGB without the T for me. Trans activists helped pave the way for all of us. |

"Wish Fab would put Lesbian as a label rather than just Gay. Or create a site just for women especially since they have one just for gay men."
If there was a site for women, it would be full of men  |

Stronger together hunni. It's seems fashionable to come after trans people. If they get away with it they'll come after other gay groups x |
