I really hate to be the one who says this but sexual orientation is about which of the two sexes you are attracted to. It is not something you can identify into or out of, and it just so happens that gay men and lesbian women were and still are oppressed based on our homosexuality.

THANK you. The reality is, sex matters. And the idea of "identifying" as gay, lesbian, bisexual or straight is bullshit. I did not choose to say I'm lesbian, lesbian is just an immutable characteristic that I happen to have, same as my natural hair color.

I am surprised but glad that Lesbian and Gay News is reporting on this! I guess I shouldn't be surprised, they have been doing great so far. But still, it's nice to see.
