Are you open with your sexuality? Or is it a secret? Open.
Who was the 1st person you told that you?re a lesbian? I told a friend when I first thought I was gay at age 12. That caused quite a scandal at my catholic school. I came out to all my friends as bisexual immediately upon starting high school (I was keeping an open mind!), and then again to all friends when I settled on "lesbian" my junior year. Finally, my senior year my parents got the re-coming out/I'm sure this time.
Is your hair short, medium, or long? I guess medium?
Would you ever shave your head? Not now. But I did have short hair for a long time - I was into the Winona Ryder-esque pixie cut and rocked it a few times!
Do you own anything with the Gay Rainbow on it? I think I still have a belt somewhere that was a gift from a friend.
Do you consider yourself a Stud, Androgynous, or Femme? I identify as femme because I am really into the concept of queering femininity (and I mean, when you own this many high heels... haha!)
What type of females are you most attracted to? Um, I don't know. I never really think about it. I guess I like brains, wit and great communications skills. God, that sounds boring, doesn't it??? Ha!
What FAMOUS Lesbian is your favorite? Rachel Maddow. The brains. The wit. The HOTNESS.
Do you like watching The L Word? Yes, even though it infuriates me sometimes! I will watch just about any show with lesbians on it - I like getting to see "myself" on tv once in awhile, you know?
What is your favorite lesbian movie? I really enjoyed Imagine Me & You, because I felt like it was our first mainstream, regular old romantic comedy.
Do you have any Pride tattoos? If not, would you ever get one? No. I would never get a rainbow or two female symbols or what have you - if that's what this means. Not my bag.
Do you go to Gay/Lesbian clubs? I would like to steal Sam's answer here: "If they had one that started at 7 and ended at 10 I would be there all the time" This is so true! C and I would see you there, Sam!!
Would you ever be a Drag King? (If you?re not already) Nah, I couldn't pull it off. I'd love to try my hand at being a drag QUEEN, though!
What name would you go by if you did do Drag?n/a
Have you ever been mistaken for a Male? When I had that aforementioned short hair. In college if I'd roll out of bed for an early class in a baseball hat and sweatshirt, I definitely got some double takes in the restroom!
Would you ever have a sex change to become a Male? Nope. Though during my coming out process, questioning my gender identity was a step along the way.
How do you feel about Homophobia? Do you want the long answer?
How do you feel about Gays/Lesbians having children? Can I be honest here? Questions like this in surveys annoy me. I am a lesbian and I am going to have children. You do the math.
If it were legal, would you marry another Female? Been there, done that.
Have you ever attended a Gay Pride Festival? Yes, and is it just me, or are they all pretty much the same? Still fun though
Do you wear make-up? Everyday.
Do you carry a wallet - or a purse? I'm so a purse gal. I need my things and to carry my wife's things.
Do you wear Male clothes? No. But I did have a phase! Though I'm so petite that I had to shop in the boy's dept. Ha!
Do you prefer wearing cologne instead of perfume. I was wearing this one cologne for awhile because I liked it. But generally, I prefer perfume. I actually really hate the smell of strong man cologne.... Ew.
Do you have several piercings & tattoos? Not several. I have my ears pierced, though I don't wear earrings. Had my nose pierced for a few years. And have two tattoos, with more sure to come.
Do you have a crush on a female celebrity, if so, who? My top crushes are Marlee Matlin, Catherine Keener and Rachel Maddow. C and I both have lists - we think it's fun
Do you have more Gay/Lesbian/Bi friends than you do Straight friends? I guess it's about even now. In college it was all gay all the time, then things went the other way, and now I guess we're evening out.
Have you ever been gay bashed? No.
Did anyone stop having contact with you after you came out of the closet? Not me as an individual. But we are basically not welcome with a side of C's family.
What is your favorite gay/lesbian quote? Rachel Maddow recently said something about being a "butch ***" on tv that warmed my heart.
Do you believe you were born a lesbian? I was born as I am. The label I have chosen, that I feel fits me best, is lesbian. So therefore I guess I was born a lesbian - though I don't think of it that way - like others have said above.
Are you proud? Or ashamed of your sexuality? I am certainly not ashamed! I am proud of me, and my sexuality is part of that.
Alright, I need a nap now!
