The lipstick lesbians


I’m sure you all are aware that another classification of the gay society are the lipstick lesbians. They are exactly the counterpart of Discreet Dudes (straight acting gay guys) in the lesbian world. They are lesbians who love putting make-up on, dressing up, shopping, and most of them are attracted to lipstick lesbians as well. Guys would hit on them, and they are hard to detect since it is accepted in the society that there are girls that act boyish but are still straight.

I know that this blog is supposed to focus on discreet gay guys, but I think it would also be interesting to know their struggles, how they come out to their parents, if they were born lipstick lesbians, If it is their choice that they act straight, and how they are unique from the usual butch lesbians that we see in the society.

I have also discovered a forum that hooks up discreet gay guys with lipstick lesbians to hopefully come up with a look of normalicy. I don’t promote this since this sounds like they are trying to deny their real identity, but I admire that they are exerting effort to hopefully have kids and build a family. Gays and lesbians should probably work together to pro-create and continue the existence of humankind. Check out the site here: http://www.glbtq.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=3374

Ideally, gays should accept who they are because there is nothing wrong with it. Sooner or later, we will all have to tell our parents.

And yes, being straight acting is a preference and should be respected. Parents will probably have a stereotype on gays as flamboyant and effeminate, but unless the discreet dudes of the world decide to come out and set a standard group to fight for the category, nothing will change with society’s dense habit of stereotyping.
