lol "There's no perfect definition"

There freaking used to be!

Honestly, as a gay man, I've always been fine with "gay" being an umbrella term that included lesbians (while at the same time being a bit jealous that gay men didn't really have a term like "lesbian" that we could claim), but trying to turn "lesbian" into an umbrella term that includes straight relationships is just disgusting to me.

Really? I always wished that there was never a word specifically for homosexual women, lol. Funny how perspectives can differ, I guess.

Interesting to hear I'm not the only one. I liked your comment describing why, that's a good way to put it. Sounds like we have pretty similar reasons.
