gay: i've been playing softball for about 8 years (duh gay!!), i like women (big surprise), love cats, i watch the l word, not very social, i can fix things with powertools, love video games, i wear sports bras most of the time, i love leather bracelets, i'm oddly tall for a 15 year old with size 12 feet, i'm a t-shirt-jeans-converse type of girl 

not gay: i was a cheerleader for 4 years, i have long blonde hair, i look really femme even though i play sports, i have a secret love/obsession  for the jonas brothers, i'm in my high school show choir, hate pick-up trucks, i've only kissed boys (i'm new to the gay business) 

So gay: I love women to an unhealthy extent. I have short hair and wear boyish clothing for the most part. I have 5 cats. I'm almost six feet tall. I wear big clunky shoes and boots. I like getting into the pits at gigs, especially the really crazy ones - a bigger challenge. I have short nails. Nearly all of my artwork is of the female form, yum. I like my alcohol simple and straight (ha); mixing a fancy drink is a waste of time. I wear ribbed tanks like they're going out of style. I like confronting idiots who act homophobic (especially in public) - making them really embarrass themselves makes me happy. I get along better with men.

So not gay: I like makeup. I'm a vegetarian. I grew up playing with Barbies. I've dated more men than I have women, sigh. I'm useless when it comes to cars. I knit.

Gay:  I like girls, playing sports, working on cars, don't wear dresses, don't wear makeup, and used to have a boyish haircut when I was a kid ( I actually told the hairdresser to cut my hair like my dad's).

Can't stand having long hair Love sport. Loves yulia from tatu & lives in converses...and currently wearing baggy basketball shorts and reading this forum at 4am.

 SO GAY:
 - I adore cats
 - I've been attracted to women since forever (when I was 6 I tried to convince my parents that I was the reincarnation of a popular male Danish actor - clearly this wish to identify with him had to do with the fact that he always ended up with the hot girls...)
 - I'm into feminism and minority rights
 - Never played "House" as a kid - didn't understand the game. Prefered Lego and art stuff.
 - My music collections is very much dominated by female solo singers (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan etc.)
 - I own tonnes of lesbian movies and obscure lesbian books such as "Lois Lenz, Lesbian Secretary"
 - I just translated Alison Bechdel's graphic novel "Fun Home" into Danish.
 - I know who Erin Daniels, Judith Butler, Sarah Waters and Uh Huh Her are (most Danes don't), and I know that the women who designed the costumes for The Golden Compass is a lesbian
 - I get so bored by the overwhelming amount of predictable straight storylines on tv
 - I spend too much time on my computer, and I know what a Java Script is.

SO NOT GAY: (Though really, who's to say that these traits couldn't be gay? In my case, clearly there's no real contradiction- I'm just as gay when in a coctail outfit as I am right now in front of my laptop wearing my pyjamas)
 - Like to wear make-up when I go out... especially lipstick
 - Love skirts and even over-the-top colorful cocktaildresses (I like to wear them AND I like to look at other women wearing them)
 - I like knitting when I watch tv
 - I can't stand beer - yuck - but love wine and cocktails
 - I feel as attached to my hair as Samson did... It's long, and no one should dare to chop it off! 
 - I am hopeless when it comes to fixing my car (lots of embarassing stories here)
 - No tattoos, no piercings (my ears once) and don't own a cap or a pair of jeans...
