Readers, If you read any lesbian blogs at all I’m sure you are all familiar that 2 lesbian bloogers have been exposed as men. I have been a part of the lesbian community of bloggers for over 10 years and it saddens me that such a thing could take place though it far from surprises [...]
First, let me just say up front I AM INDEED, a SORE LOSER when the odds don’t seem to have been even going in. I had no huge expectation going in as the winner in the Best New Blog category since I launched at the end of November 2009 giving me hardly three months to collect a following. I have to say it was a shock that I made it into the final three. Once there, however, I came to believe my competition would be other singular blogs as the word in the award is BLOG and that some voters might actually review each if they were not familiar with them before making their pick.
First of all, let’s talk about “The Lezzies”. I mean really, who in their right mind decides to call their awards “The Lezzies”? No wait… probably not the best way to win fans and influence people on that particular website by knocking the award themselves now is it? To be clear, I am not diminishing the “The Lezzies” themselves, just the image that jumps to mind when I hear the name. Let me explain.
That particular moniker was definitely an elementary school term for me. I can remember all of us little kids using it without much knowledge of what it meant. Then, at age seven or eight I figured out what the term meant and that I might be one of them as I was kissing girls every chance I got. Then I had a bit of a freak out as to me it was a bit like learning you had cooties. That was the way lezzy was used in my neck of the woods. It was cooties for girls.
