If interested let me know.
I only want to interview lesbians interested in a candid conversation about being a lesbian, if you feel that being gay in 2013 is less difficult than in 2003, different types of lesbians and if there are certain reasons why some lesbians go the lipstick lesbian route and some go the butch route. If you’re comfortable talking about these things contact me for a serious candid conversation.
Anyone want in for a lesbian podcast let me know.

Joey, what if a lesbian is not a standout for lipstick or for butchness — and looks like the girl next door or like the goth princess from high school or like your best friend’s sister (or mother)? I’m sure you didn’t mean to relegate all lesbians to those two categories, but it kinda sounded that way.

No I didn’t. I’m looking forward to an open candid conversation.
I’m gonna ask the questions from my uneducated perspective and try to have fun and at the same time enlighten other Neanderthals like me about what makes a lesbian tick.
It may not all be politically correct but I’ll obviously be respectful and hopefully make a new friend as well as learn some things.

This is great! Looks like the interview is already essentially underway.
I’m assured Joey will bring to the interview his usual mix of humor, honesty and ope-mindedness.
And it never hurts to educate a Neanderthal!

You might get some backlash about this (and I might get some about this comment…) but I think this could be a really good idea, if done with good taste. A lot of people really only know the gay/lesbian stereotypes and don’t have any real insight into the topic. While the morality of homosexual activity is a very hot-button and polarizing topic in some circles, the fact is that a candid (and dignified) conversation with someone from the LGBT community can be enlightening, no matter where you stand on topics like gay marriage. For it or against it, we should at the very least understand it. Respectful, mutual understanding is really important if a diverse community like ours wants to have peace and progress, and constructive conversation about big issues.
It’s good for people to realize that not all homosexually oriented individuals (gay or lesbian) are “visible” as such; there are “straight-acting” lesbians and gays, just as much (if not more) as there are “butch” lesbians and effeminate gay men – and there are lots of variations in between. Not everyone who “looks” gay/lesbian is, and not everyone who “looks” straight is either! And it’s important to realize that homosexuality isn’t just about physical attraction or one’s personal presentation (clothes, mannerisms, etc.); it’s more complex than that – just like heterosexuality isn’t only physical attraction, but also emotions, feelings of complementarity, etc.
Even in today’s society, where we are much more open about these things, it can still be very hard for homosexually oriented people to feel safe with people knowing their orientation.
Hopefully, these kinds of things could be explored more in depth in a conversation like you propose.
I guess you can see this is a topic I’ve thought a lot about. Since I was a child I have had a fair number of gay/lesbian friends and/or parishioners, some of whom are wrestling with the Church’s teachings on homosexuality and homosexual activity. I could write a lot more about this, but I bet a lot will come out of the interview, if anyone steps forward…
