'ye olde dykes unite.'

Lesbians planning 'old dykes home'
Well, I thought there was just possibly something wrong about discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or practice, of identifying oneself on the basis of sexual proclivity - but no 'tis a 'badge of exclusivity.'
Wellington lesbian Susan Bartel, 64, and her partner said an "old dykes home" was a great idea. "Lorraine and I have laughingly discussed with our friends the idea of buying an inner-city apartment or derelict old club where we could all retire together. We have called it The Wilted Lily."

Perhaps in blaming the male of the species, Turia too is looking to her future among those of kindred spirit.

Hola Mojo!
Crazy take on the old dykes home article. Do you really assume an equality that you describe (where you don't have to state your sexual identity in every interaction) actually occurs, or was that metacognition a little too wine enhanced?

'Twas a fine wine indeed...I think tho' that one's sexual identity pervades all interactions much as does any characteristic behaviour ... if that is what you mean by 'stating identity,' but you didn't mean that, did you??
