So all lesbians dress a certain way? All lesbians don't shave their legs? You have got to be kidding me! You folks need to get out more. The last time I was in a lesbian bar bathroom there were a couple androgenous chicks with short hair, sure. There was also a hot woman in high heels and a short skirt using nail polish to stop a run in her pantyhose. Sorry but these days you can't tell who is queer and who is straight by checking for leg hair or a particular uniform. Lots of straight chicks wear Birkenstocks. Lots of lesbians carry designer purses. Welcome to this century.
And LW, as for this boss: If it wasn't about your sexual preference it would be something else. You have a boss who gets her jollies via getting nosy about the personal lives of her employees. I'd get a new job because, no matter what you say to her, she is who she is and she is going to be toxic to work for.
How is this piece any different than any pathetic nostalgia piece where some White guy who doesn't like geting old whines about how things used to be better? Gosh, remember, record players? Remember muscle cars? Remember the Brooklyn Dodgers? Weren't they great? Things suck now, don't they? I blame cassette tapes/Ford Pintos/the Yankees for ruining EVERYTHING. Boohoohoo.
And Oprah ruined the marathon. LOL.
Also the writing is bad. It reads like a cranky blog post someone dashed off during their lunch break. Only, yanno, without any of the amateur charm.
1. The demise of the WNBA Houston Comets. They won four championships but, because this is women's pro ball, nobody paid attention to them folding.
2. The epic suckage of sports in Seattle across the board. Has a city EVER had such a bad run?
3. The fall of the NY Yankees
