Well that's just ... lovely

Apparently there's a discussion going in faghags over what constitutes a "True" fag hag. Basically, are you a fag hag if you date/fool around with gay men, or are you a fag hag if you just about mother them?

If I'm not mistaken, "fag hag" originally referred to a straight woman that wanted to sleep with a gay man - and made no bones about it. Somehow, it's evolved into a name for the gay guy's best girl-friend. Someone that he can be fun and bitchy with - without sexual tension getting in the way.


Where does that leave the Queer girls that love their gay guy friends - but don't want to fuck them eight ways to Sunday? And what of the straight and queer girls that like the idea of two guys getting it on ... but wouldn't want to join in, just watch?

Yeah, I'm asking about where us Slashers fit into the whole scenario. (Oh wait ... I guess that makes us girlfags. Or something.)

I'd hope there don't have to be categories!

I think sometimes people just like to compartmentalize everything, and one way to keep things in order is to have a label or designation for everyone.

We should be able to consider ourselves whatever we want to ... without someone else getting bitchy about it. (But, that's probably too idealistic!)

It's too logical & involves common sense. You know those have no place in the real world.

Oh yeah! *smacks forehead* I seem to forget that logic and common sense don't exist outside of my fantasy land.

Thanks for reminding me! ;)

logic & common sense obviously don't come into play when replying via email, either. I tried a couple of days ago, but the server was down Let's try this again:

At least you're not alone in yur fantasy land!
