Dear LJ...
Today, I got to explain to my mom "who gets to be the man" in lesbian relationships.
I hope I did right by my lesbian friends.
I also got to explain about "bears". "So you know those tough motorcycle guys you see at Sturgis? Yeah, gay."
I love my mother dearly, but her life in a monoculture has made her very strange to me.

Laat night we had supper with some old friends of the family. The daughter is a lesbian and has a partner. Both women fall onto the dyke end of the spectrum so both were relatively "masculine" in my mom's eyes. "Who gets to be the man" is a burning question when you live in heteronormative-land and I was the person most likely to know so...

That actually makes a lot of sense. I just tripped over my own generalizations there - I forgot that Omaha might have lesbians.
