Some people think we have it easy pride-marching around in colorful boas (see baguio pride march post)and spending friday nights having first-times in public places, but there are 9 reasons why being a feminist lesbian is not as easy as you think:

1. You look at somebody in the bathroom and they think you’re trying to hit on them. Excuse me, we have taste.

2. You can’t wear a rainbow shirt without being teased about going to an out rally.

3. Gay brands seldom go on sale. And when they do, it’s usually because they’ll close down soon.

4. You can’t look tomboy (baggy jeans, huge shirt, bling, rubber shoes) just for the hang of it. It will ‘reinforce the stereotype’.

5. When somebody makes an incorrect statement in front of you, everybody expects you to be angry.

6. People around you have the hardest time choosing words. “Uhm, you know, your, uh… homosexual power dynamics”.

7. You can’t say “That girl has a hot butt”. That’s objectifying women. Instead, you must say “I am feeling attraction towards this girl, and her having a hot butt has nothing to do with it”.

8. You are forced to like poetry. Even those that suck. It’s “creative license”.

9. The ‘femme’ must open doors for the ‘butch’. This is to make people understand that no role-playing exists.
