Lesbian Wallflower


is a term I prefer to describe a lesbian loner. Generally, a femme/lipstick lesbian that is slightly marginalized from inside the LGBT neighborhood (in other words. no body understands she actually is a lesbian as a result of her femininity). She most likely doesn’t have numerous gay pals and has already been single for quite some time. Does any of this sounds familiar? Thank you for visiting the dance club.

Just how performs this occur? There are 2 primary main reasons why you may be a lesbian wallflower:

Appearance.

For those who have long hair, wear lipstick, or like gowns… you are probably a lesbian wallflower. One of many factors we fall sufferer to this tag could be because of the inculcation of lesbian stereotypes and just how we’re ‘supposed to appear’. There is a big part today’s society that basics sexuality on appearance. Do not embarrassed, everyone do so (you’re sleeping should you say you do not). Appearance can be one of the primary ways lesbians just be sure to pick out the homosexual gal from a large group. According to our stereotypes, a feminine lesbian is far more more likely seen erroneously as a heterosexual woman because she doesn’t use snapbacks and panel short pants everyday.

Socializing (or diminished).

Pretty much every girl reading this article can empathize with just how challenging it could be to meet up with different lesbian women. Our very own options are fairly limited to homosexual clubs (in case you are lucky enough to have a gay scene locally) and internet dating (

, naturally). If you do not partake in any of the above activities, you will most probably remain unknown on the lesbian area forever *cue the world’s littlest violin*.

The rewards.

One of the best benefits to be a lesbian wallflower is having the power to choose when in order to whom you come out. Its just like becoming an undercover key representative (D.E.B.S., any individual?)! There’s been numerous instances when i have found myself in a small grouping of those who encounter a controversial homosexual liberties debate or two. We cheerfully tune in to all the views before We choose to decrease the I’m-a-lesbian bomb and relish in number of responses.
