    It was worth the price of admission just to see the Lesbian Fire Commissioner.

    Why? Is she building a series of canals to divert water for firefighting? Because that would be legit funny. Because it’s a dike.

    Happy pride month. I think/thought Lesbians took ownership of that term, stripped it if it’s derogatory meaning… and I’m meaning it endearingly. Not like the F word. That’s loaded with historical context and I wouldn’t use that. That’d be like a white guy using the N-word endearingly…that’s really just not possible. Exception for Bob Dillan in “Hurricane”, of course. If I’m wrong please let me know.

      In my opinion if you’re not a dyke it’s better to not apply it to a person.

      I think the joke about a lesbian building a dike is funny personally so you got away with that one.
