A few days ago I was reading Grey's Anatomy recaps (I don't watch the show anymore, but I used to like Calzona)And here's the thing:Why are we lesbians treated so badly? Why do we keep on getting those terrible storylines?The lesbian who sleeps with a man, or the lesbian who dies and her partner commits suicide (Dear Shonda Rhimes:stop it please)or the lesbian who ends up being murdered? (and still Ilene I haven't forgotten)
See, of all the years I've been out, neither of my friends have "become straight",tried to get pregnant, killed someone or worse killed themselves.
Don't you think we deserve better?
If you're trying to tell the world that we are, after all, human beings,why do you portray negative stereotypes?(Now I'm not saying that wanting to have a baby is negative ok? I'm just saying that not all of us are struggling couples trying to get pregnant)
We need visibility,I get it, but is it too much to ask for good storylines?
I truly hope that this will eventually change.
In the meantime, I'm grateful for the variety of lesbian web series,(which may not be mainstream)but they are doing a great job, at giving us the much needed visibility.

No More Homophobia
Yesterday while tweeting, I started thinking about something that truly bothers me; no, it not only bothers me but it pisses me off.
It is homophobia.
I was reading all the comments certain people I followed (yes that's right I unfollowed them) make about the politicians they truly disagree with.
I understand we all have our very personal political views and that is perfectly fine, but, when you start ranting about someone you just turn it into a hate speech.And what makes it worse (at least in my opinion) is that in order to make their comments more hurtful, they start using antigay slur.
So, not only do they disagree with these politicians, but they call them fa**ots? d*kes?WTF?
First of all, what does it have to do with it? If their political views are not the same as yours does it mean that the other person is gay?
Now, how can these peolple even consider themselves as non-homophobic? Is that the way they show their "support"?
It makes no sense to me. They support gay rights, but when there's someone they truly dislike they use antigay slurs?
It is offensive to us,the LGBT comunity.
There's a word that everyone uses, but I'm not sure that we all grasp its meaning, and that word is RESPECT.
So, next time you feel tempted to offend someone, think for a few seconds at least, before venom comes out of your mouth.
