There is such a demand for access to words like “lesbian” because they do know what it means and like the idea of being seen that way

That's where the needle rips off the record for me, because a more-accepting world is the world we fought to create for them and they're acting like a bunch of toddlers in a playpen with cream pies and down pillows to fling everywhere. Pearls before swine?

Sadly I have never seen a subculture that didn't get trashed by tourists in this manner once word got out that it was cool. Not once. It happens every time. Is that what's going on here? They think it's a party bus and wanna cram as many onto it as possible?

I note with no small amount of irony that this also happened to the Internet...

they definitely think its a party bus that makes them look cool. a big part of it is also the fetishization of lesbians. there's a reason why straight men aren't demanding to call themselves gay men, but women of all forms are demanding to be seen as lesbians, posting pictures on instagram of them making out with their friends, engaging in threesomes when they're straight, etc.

Ah yes, I keep trying to forget about that shit. Bonus gross points when they (straight women) point their play-acting at actual L/B women for funsies.

Edit: Clarifying which group I mean in the second comment.
