Late idea is late….

I disagree, as I’ve met lesbians who were adamant about not being feminists, and since I believe that all labels should be self-identified…
I do think that we queer folk err on the side of politics that are pro-positive life experiences for all, regardless of sex or gender, so you’ll definitely find more people who identify as humanist or feminist…

I jokingly say that all the world should be feminists because everyone either is a woman, loves a woman or is LGBT and has to deal with the hereonormativity of the patriarchy, which is why lesbians make such good feminists. But that is more entertaining than true.

Well since I also know several lesbians who do not identify as feminists I obviously disagree.

Especially when people say it’s small – um, yeah, we’re actually bigger than Boston and Seattle and Atlanta and a lot of cities that people talk about being “real cities” compared to Baltimore.

not true. you know us. Hi, I am Katie. Where are you moving?

I’m moving to center city area. Which school are you going to? And to both of you, fantastic! We should all meet up and hangout once I get there. :)
