When I was in High School, there was one of those ‘demonstrations’.  It doesn’t matter what it was about. These kids were demonstrating because they had an issue.  Some teacher came out of the woodwork to ‘articulate’ the ‘concerns’ of the students.

The teacher started this long exposition on the ‘issue’ and one of the kids blurted; “You don’t talk for me!”

Well, I mean, how dare the kid interrupt the teacher?  I mean here was this teacher ‘articulating’  the ‘concerns’  of the kid and the ungrateful kid claiming the teacher didn’t talk for her.  Right?

Wrong.

For far too long so many lesbians have been silent letting the male homosexuals ‘articulate’ their ‘concerns’.  It is time for the Lesbian nation to disattach from the Gay Community.  Time for Lesbians to ‘articulate’ their own ‘concerns.’  Many of which are NOT the concerns ‘articulated’ by Gay men.

Take Gay Marriage.

Any Lesbian, (I’m not talking about those Glays who go along with male Gays to show solidarity, or who are still trapped in the patriarchy, I’m talking lesbian feminists) is as interested in marriage as root canal.  No. I’m wrong. Most lesbians are more interested in root canal.

Marriage, as it stands today, is a patriarchial institution.  To create a union that would be desired by lesbians is so far from marriage that the term is almost offensive.

People are together because they want to be together. And will remain together until they no longer want to remain together.  That’s it.  Some might have kids and maybe they’ll want a shared custody, maybe they don’t. Some might want to share ownership, some might not want to.  It isn’t one size fit all. 

Not every lesbian wants to be ‘married’ to one person. 

Some people need a lot of space, some don’t.  Some prefer that one owns the town house the other owns the beach house, so that there is always a place to go where one can simply be. 

The heterosexual ‘marriage’ doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for heterosexuals, considering all the divorce and infidelity and squirreling of property and arguments over who owns the refridgerator.

Marriage doesn’t work. All marriage does it make millionaires out of divorce lawyers. 

Marriage is just one area in which Gays don’t speak for the Lesbian nation.   There are others. And it is time for the Lesbian Nation to take the microphone and advise the public that Gays don’t speak for us.
