Beyond The Realms Of Sanity
Let's talk lesbians
Gay people have been in for a bashing recently. Or perhaps not, depending on who you listen to. Scientists have discovered differences in people's brains that may well prove that people are born gay rather than turned by an appropriate Judy Garland movie or childhood incident. We can't help but wonder how valid a study that only uses 90 people is, but we're arts graduates, so it's not our job to question these things.
Besides, anything that religious people object to is naturally an option which draws us. If a study like this can have nutcases burbling that "[Science is] not about truthes, it's about facts." to support their biblical bigotry, then we're on the side of the scientists.
We're also going to stand up and be counted in protest against lesbian discrimination. Apparently they aren't being given smear tests because doctors don't think they are at risk. Far be it from us to inflict smear testing on anyone (Do you know what they do?) but it's probably better to have a doctor staring up your vag and poking you with chilly metal objects than a dose of cervical cancer.
On top of all this stress, the ladies are also in for a short sharp litigation shock. Residents of the island of Lesbos are intending to sue their girl-loving namesakes because of undue 'mental distress.' Apparently the 'seizure' of the word 'lesbian' by the... ummm... sapphic community has upset them so much that it is tantamount to "psychological and moral rape." Glitterditch suggests the problem can be solved by simply renaming the island to "Fucking Nutjobsville" and leaving the girlies alone.
