stereotypes

stereotypes annoy me.

one stereotype out there, is that queer people are more promiscuous because there is no worry about unwanted pregnancies. i wonder if believers of that stereotype, know about birth control pills and what the demographics are who use the pill? or condoms? who buys the most condoms? i live in a college town and lemme tell you, most queer kids here are too busy moping in their coffees about the coming out drama in their lives or getting all worked up around another tree-hugging cause, to do much sleeping around. even if they did (or if they were pretty gay party boys), there really isn't much selection here...the queer community is pretty friggin small.

though that stereotype does bring up a happy point. straight people having sex worry about pregnancies and STIs. gay men having sex worry about STIs. lesbians...well in comparison, lesbians have a lot less to worry about. hmm lesbians seem to be getting off pretty easy. score. i'm glad i'm one then. i wonder if there is a catch...

Is this your coming out Peggy? Bad question I know... it is probably arrogant to assume that just because I did not know that you were a lesbian means that it was a big secret. I guess you do not have to walk around with a big T-shirt that says "I'm with her" (I'll avoid getting into trouble with other examples).
Anyway - makes no difference to me, cause you're cool anyway.
