32. Can Lesbians Say "Gay"? (solo episode)
Manage episode 419038687 series 3550358
"I've noticed more lesbian women referring to themselves as gay... I'm curious as to why."
This is something someone said to me recently. An inference that lesbians (like myself) were using the wrong word.
At first, I was a bit shocked by the question because I've never known anyone who was bothered by it. Like, this isn't new. Lesbians say gay. It's ok. Then it made me think (Gay men can't be lesbians, so does that mean lesbians can't be gay?). Ultimately, it made me listen to the words folx use to describe themselves. What word feels comfortable?
This is a quick episode about all all the above.
spoiler alert: lesbians can (and do) say "gay."
