Some Antics with Semantics

so this past weekend i was at Halsted Street Market days. While it's not a gay pride festival, it's held in Chicago's "Boys Town", so it's a gay-friendly event...

so i was thinking about people and words etc, and i've put my finger on why i hate the word "lesbian". Homosexual men are called "gay men" but homosexual women are called "lesbians", not "gay women". So, if you are a "lesbian", it's like you're a whole seperate breed of human being or something... and sorry, i am not some sort of breed apart just because i don't like dick.

my sexual orientation doesn't define me as a person, dictate how i pick my friends, choose my music and hobbies, heck i don't even necessarily prefer the company of women over the company of men... my sexual orientation only describes who i prefer to sleep with... and we all know how often that DOESN'T happen... (the sleeping with someone...)
