Your frustration…
“You guys in the states have it relatively easy … the topic of homosexuality whether lesbian or gay is still pretty much taboo as all hell where I live in Santo Domingo … Here you can't even talk about it without getting evil looks, so for me to have a relationship with someone is like a CIA operation …completely top secret, alias and all.”
“I'm from a small town … I'm sixteen years old and I think I might be gay … I know next to nothing about gay culture in general let alone lesbian culture … never has it been more obvious than after reading your article ["Don't Quote Me: Jodie Foster and the Great Lesbian Hope"]. My reactions to it were '... Really?' and 'Who's Cydney Bernard?'”
And your pride…
“I am from Chile and in the last gay parade, the Chilean lesbians chanted 'Soy lesbiana porque me gusta y porque me da la gana' (I am lesbian because I like it and because I want to). It is as simple as that. Because I like it. Because I'm happy being gay, and if I would have the opportunity to be born again, I would like to be born lesbian again.”
“My partner and I live in the middle of the Bible belt, I work at a small Presbyterian college, and even we're out! Like you said if someone has a problem with it, that's their problem and they don't need to be in our lives.”
Some of you have asked me questions …
“Ever think about doing a piece on lesbians in prison? Talk about prejudice! The male guards at [name of institution removed] were outrageous … continually had my mail messed with, I never received a subscription to Girlfriends, they called it contraband. The males could receive Playboy but I couldn't receive Girlfriends!”
“Does Kate [Moennig] have a personal email address or some way of getting in touch with her? I'm a bi female, married to a man, and had an affair with a lesbian last fall. I started watching The L Word about 2 months ago … and totally love it!!! Shane is my girl … I would loveeeeee to meet her … can you help me?”
One of you has even asked me to do your homework …
“I am doing a project for school on Jodie Foster. My teacher and I have a fairly large bet on whether Jodie Foster is a lesbian or not. I highly think she is a lesbian while my teacher disagrees. If you have any other information on Jodie Foster, I would truly love it if you could send it to me.”
A good lot of you are comedians…
“I wonder if [the 'restored' Exodus women] have to put their cats and golf bags down to put on their make-up?”
“If you hear from [Kevin] Naff, I bet he takes issue with the fact that he ever stays at a Holiday Inn. As opposed to a Ritz or something a little more upscale. But, maybe I'm just stereotyping …”
“I think readers should petition The L Word to have Carmen's ass be a new character.”
“Maybe you ought to marry your cat. You can't really be as boring as you perceive yourself to be. Don't you have a girlfriend?”
