on language: lesb get it on

[plethora__]

There are words I love. Words I rave. Words I crave. But there are also words I don’t like- the sharp syllables that leave a bitter taste in your mouth? Like… moist. Or putrid. Or… lesbian

I've always liked "dyke."

you could just say lez/les. I like that variant

I dont like lesbian because generally it's used in a different way than gay. For example: you would say "a gay man" but "a lesbian". Because it's working as a noun instead of an adjective, it's like it's more of your personality than it actually is.

Also, I dont see why women are so special that they need a separate word. I mean, we're great and all, but that's not really equality.

Ooh, this is such a great point. Major props, LStone; Adriana would have totally eaten that up (as did I).
