When someone tells you that you’re “too butch” or that you need to be more like “normal lesbians,” take a cue from Ivan’s awesome new column.
My favourite passage? “Somebody told me recently that the real definition of community includes the person you don’t want to be there, too. That would be you. So you and your normal friends can all rest assured: when the rest of us abnormal queers do finally win equality, we will make room for you, too. You can thank us for it later, if you show up to the party. Wear something special, though, because the rest of us will be fucking fabulous.”
