It’s been over TWENTY YEARS since Thelma & Louise came out. Do we have to wait twenty more?

Hear hear. The denigration of choice as an explanatory narrative for gayness is really perplexing. I *love* Nixon’s line (“I’ve been straight and I’ve been gay, and gay is better”). As Magda Szubanski says, if there was a pill to cure gayness, I wouldn’t take it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ_5puTDOYI). That makes it for me now–regardless of whether I was born this way or not–a choice I actively and proudly choose every damn day of my life.

Completely agree with you – who cares about the labels and boxes. If she is with a woman now then as far as im concerned she’s gay – if tomorrow she isnt then so be it but theer isnt a test you have to pass is there? Like you I dont think ‘gayness’ is a club we should or can restrict access to, anyone who identifies as gay is good enough for me. Whether they choose this or just are really doesnt matter.

I read the piece in The Economist, today and the quote, “It’s a cynical thing to say, but I suspect this might cost Susan G. Komen more than it does Planned Parenthood.” clearly says this story has a long way to go.

It’s not easy being gay. In a world where heterosexuality is the norm and homosexuality has often been seen as more than just a religious taboo throughout history—you know, when legitimately recognized at all, that is—the LGBT community has worked tirelessly to declare that sexual preference is not a “preference” at all; instead, the nature vs. nurture arguments now lean more toward a “I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way” mantra. However, is it necessarily a winner-takes-all conclusion in the homosexuality debate? According to Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon, maybe there’s more than one way to be gay. And ton of people are pissed off about it.
