You go, grrrl!

I read a clever article on the Advocate Web site today and wanted to share it with everyone. Dyke Eye for the L Word Girl, by Stephanie Fairyington, demonstrates how the media are "gayifying" lesbians in order to make their portrayal on shows like The L Word and Queer Eye for the Straight Girl more acceptable to general audiences. No, you won't see a bull dyke any time soon, but you'll have the pleasure of seeing designer clothing, slim bodies, aggressive sexual behavior and make-up that would make even Tammy Faye jealous.
