The Reluctant Lesbian: How Far Would You Go to save Your Family?

Product Information

People's sexual sensibilities have been pushed waaaayyy further than anything my blogs could do, and if Mama were alive today, she'd be blushing. After decades of keeping a low profile and keeping their torturers at bay, the time comes for Lucy and Bee to face Rochester and Dracula. Whatever your reluctant about it’s okay, I know you’re scared but so are they and they need your help. My teacher had been leading our class through a mock legislative process and proposed a bill that included an ill-informed and highly misguided statement equivalent to "children of gay couples tend to become gay. Years ago, when my forays into self-experimentation manifested as an awkward mullet, my relatives’ remarks were similar.

For starters, ‘lesbian’ and its various derivatives remain common insults for girls who fall foul of their peers’ approval.

The men expect these women to act in their favor and do their dirty work, but the moment Lucy acknowledges their trauma, they become sisters in arms. This is a very good thing for companies keen to jump onto the pride month marketing bandwagon, who both exploit and propagate the notion of ‘gay as norm’. When Jane appears, she is not portrayed as the heroine of her novel, but rather as a victim of Rochester’s manipulation.

At the peak of Second Wave Feminism, campaigners were demonised as man-hating, bra-burning, communist lesbians, gleefully plotting society’s destabilisation. Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, clearly hetero actors, convincingly portray a gay couple, while co-stars Lily Tomlin (a lesbian in real life) and Jane Fonda echo the platonic BFF Kate and Allie vibe. The problem is, upon closer consideration, using the same label for gay men and women has proven more harmful than first appears. She constantly fights her monstrous nature, showing how trauma can turn victims into perpetrators of further pain and hurt. These supernatural, ghostly hauntings act as a symbol of how it feels in reality for victims of trauma.
