As thetopic says.... 76 per cent want a poll only people that dont are the hysterical rabid left who are trying to shove this down our throats... wonder why they are so scared of a poll...
bring on a plebiscite or referendum... let the people decide.

where did i say that?
your response is a perfect example of
straw man - for those who are not sure.
if you read back, i said there are both types -
butch and femme and the reason why i posted
the pics is because you said:
Or perhaps you are talking about these butch lesbians:
and you posted pics the showed the opposite
of butch. you appeared confused.
Actually 'butch' and 'femme' are identifying labels for an extremely small, SMALL minority of lesbians. There is actually a third "type" - just plain old human beings who don't like to have labels attached to them by people who have no idea.
As to the last sentence, I assumed you were smart enough to understand sarcasm especially when it was so obvious. Perhaps I was wrong.

I know, let's see if any on here are gay and then have your say on how you feel about this disgraceful oneupmanship on what gay people like to wear.
How you feel about being objectified.

One of those is Coyote but I don';t think she even counts as she calls herself a 'trans dude'. And Walidah is a hip hop artists so dresses like all other hip hop artists, gay or straight, so not sure she counts either.
The rest just have short hair.
i think you should post that on the
blog
http://www.butchwonders.com/blog/previous/3
So you think that one womans blog article about women SHE thinks look butch means that all of those women identify as "butch"?

But of course she normally doesn't does she? She normally has flowing locks, pretty makeup and dresses quite 'normally' for a lesbian.
This photo is actually an image of her growing her hair out after chemotherapy.
errr...no. that is not at all why she
was nominated.
she has been referred to as
a 'butch rocker' not because of her
short hair.
She was referred to as a "butch rocker" originally in the Washington Post. And now because some woman in a blog says the same thng then it must be true?
Melissa E actually took exception to being called that and wrote about it in a book on her life.
I still say she is simply a beautiful woman regrowing her hair after chemo. Nothing butch about her or most of the women in that silly blog excpet in the authors mond.

My niece on my husbans side is gay and likes to top. I wouldn't dream of asking her what else she practices or her choice in clothes, it's none of my business and nobody else's business either. Just like how offensive it would be to a hetro.
My best friend is gay and one of the most beautiful human beings I know. He married his soul mate then his partner got aids and my friend carried him all around Egypt when he couldn't walk so they could share their last months together.
I was the first person he rang when his partner died and I can honestly say his agony was palpable.
Objectifying people on how they look or dress is disgusting and shameful.

nope. she was nominated and voted
as top 25 most powerful butches.

yep, she did.

yep, never said she wasn't beautiful.
butch does not mean ugly
Nothing butch about her or most of the women in that silly blog excpet in the authors mond.

I have no problem with gays
What I have a problem with
Is with gays getting married
And even morso with taking a child
Into that relationship
You want to be accepted you want to be heard
You want to be loved you want to have a baby
You want you want you want
And for people like myself who have accepted gays
Without question in workplace and day to day life
And enabled Gay people to live their lives without
Mockery and defended you more than once
Gays have not made this journey alone
Although I'm sure they think they have
It's only because they are fortunate to live in a
Tolerant society that they are where they are at now
And for people like myself who have been supportive
Of Your quest for equality I feel like you are shafting us
Now that you have got there by stealing the one and
Only thing left that defines heterosexuals
So if you want to change the rules so you can marry
Change it so you can marry in a civil Union
And leave marriage alone
