Frankly I think this is great.

A lot of attention has been paid to promoting male homosexuality as normal, but the female equivalent is still, I suspect misunderstood, Mariel Hemingway and Rosanne (or was that Woody Allen ) notwithstanding (yes Madonna, it had been done — OOOh, get you! mieow (etc.)) and associated either with soft-porn fantasies or crewcuts, square body frames, bov-ver boots (read Doc Martens) and lumberjack shirts (”and I’m okay” ).

Seeing two very normal looking women in such a high profile relationship can only be good for the normalization of being gay and female.

I am constantly amazed at how much attention, whethr homophobic attention or gay/l*****n attention, that we place on our personal “freak!” involving gender. Can you imagine all the other “freak” aspects that could come out of the closet…stocking freaks, latex freaks, electronic v. mechanical freaks, mesh freaks, 2 v. 1 freaks, 1 v. 2 freaks, group freaks, etc. freaking etc.

Freaking let freaking live! Whoever gives a s**t, get over it!
