[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's always been a lesbian, it's just that mores have changed enough that subtext can now be text.[/quote]

Right? She was always LGBT. It was clear subtext.[/quote]

How so? Just because she wasn't a Barbie clone? Why does everyone want to classify and type women so badly?[/quote]

DP, the people who have been most vocal about her always been a lesbian to me (both before and after this) had been lesbians. "I see myself in this character" is different than stereotyping.[/quote]

Oh, great, I've been told a number of times that I look like Velma.
So any artsy, bookish brunette with glasses and bangs is now seen as a lesbian. In the USA, of course.[/quote]

Does that bother you? Why?[/quote]

Yes. Because straight people don’t want to be thought of as gay.[/quote]

Why not?[/quote]

Because lesbians are presented in entertainment as unattractive and frumpy and butch-looking and nobody wants to be thought of that way? How in the world should anyone guess you are gay unless it’s by what you look like?

I know you’re waiting to dance around and scream HOMOPHOBIA but it’s a little more complex than that.[/quote]

You're saying people think you're gay, but what you're really saying is people think you're unattractive and frumpy and butch-looking. And that bothers you.

Maybe try to look and dress more like Daphne (or Fred), and then people will know you are straight.

Because all attractive people are straight and all unattractive people are gay. Which is definitely complex. And totally not homophobic.[/quote]
