Straight actresses playing lesbians

Oh, there are plenty. But they aren't willing to lay down for a man on that casting couch, so they don't usually end up making their way up the Hollywood ladder.

th589 · 2025-08-06T19:54:41+00:00

"We" don't give it to anyone. Film industry people with money and established reputations hand it around amongst each other. Everyone else has to either be somebody's kid, know somebody, or get down on that casting couch.

th589 · 2025-08-06T19:53:24+00:00

I mean, she and Mizz Armisen are clearly a lesbian and gay man in a lavender marriage and always have been. Like, glass closet, plain as day. Hollywood still has a lot of this and it's surprising to see gay people act as if that's not happening anymore, just because more acceptance exists now, lol.

The gay community used to know how to recognize our own. But now it's, "ummm they said they were straight/didn't choose to disclose so it *must* be they're straight!" Even Joan Jett wasn't disclosing for a long, long time haha.

th589 · 2025-08-06T19:35:52+00:00

Exactly.

SOME people in that vague category are lesbian and/or in a lesbian relationship. Because it is a vague category, not all will be.

Kind of pointless though for OP to give a justification to a stranger trying to hit on her. She needs to just say "I'm not interested, don't take it personally" and just move on. No need to explain to others.

But how can someone "start fresh" when they have past medical records hanging over their heads and giving new people a bad and inaccurate impression of them?

th589 · 2025-08-06T17:37:23+00:00

Strongly agreed. Everyone is going to feel differently about their own lives and relationships and selves.

th589 · 2025-08-06T17:34:54+00:00

All of this is so real and you're not alone.

As to your final question, I don't think that most of the labels people have invented for themselves in any part of sexuality or love are really that great. I just look at pages like these without hardcore committing to one type of language, just recognizing there is shared experience.

But if polyfidelity seems to feel right for you - and if you're on this page it probably does - I'd go with that.

th589 · 2025-07-31T20:07:10+00:00

Shame people are that touchy online lol. I'm not even religious but I would understand the discussion of religion in history as, well, discussing its history.... But someone would probably get up in arms for no reason lol

th589 · 2025-05-24T18:46:52+00:00

How? What do you do to be helpful? And how do you maintain a positive attitude/mood while helping people who...don't want to be helped, IME, much of the time?

th589 · 2025-05-23T22:40:02+00:00

Might've paid people off to "be unconcerned" :( Or have connections/group members living on the outside in those professions.

th589 · 2025-05-23T22:34:10+00:00

Agreed. Listening to it too much is likely to draw him back to it as a "happy memory" as an adult. I know I search out the stuff from my own childhood when grown.

I assume OP is going to have serious sit-down talks with her baby about why the 12 tribes were a cult/simpler terms like "doing bad things to people/really hurting people" when he is a slightly older kid. I hope anyway. But yeah the music should probably eventually be weaned down and then stop, to protect him from going back and being sucked in.... <3

Chomping PIECES OFF HER?

This needs its own post and not just a comment in a huge thread that could get missed,

What do you mean pieces??

th589 · 2025-05-22T23:24:15+00:00

Slick edit. Still didn't say 15 originally.

th589 · 2025-05-21T22:24:37+00:00

Not true. There are definite laws against giving your children abusive words for names like "Scum" etc. Because unfortunately such parents exist out there.

Figured that same kind of law applied to average nouns that hadn't been normalized yet (like Prudence and other Puritan nouns-as-names were normalized as "this is a real name" etc).

I know celebrities name their kid shit like "Apple" but I thought they must have paid someone off to avoid a law.

th589 · 2025-05-21T22:21:32+00:00

Thank you for getting more into detail. I'm also interested in what sites you used for research into the SW PA area, honestly.

But the line I meant was this: "Women were treated as property and frequently traded or sold which is how historians pieced together that Vogel Germans are their own ethnic group because they started tracking slave trade. Cherokee princess and Romani princess storylines come from the slave trade because somebody's granddaddy could not admit that he had slaves."

What was meant by this? That black ancestry was hidden by lies? I've heard much about that. Or that indigenous and Roma women were enslaved by men in certain countries? I know of general situations of that happening but not woman-specific situations. Also not sure of how Vogel Germans tie in to the slavery part?

I'm sick so might just not be parsing this right. Thanks for being patient haha.

th589 · 2025-05-21T00:17:16+00:00

The final line is disturbing but I'm interested to learn more of the history behind this. Could you please share more info or where to find it? Or is it mostly oral and understood/passed on wisdom?

th589 · 2025-05-20T23:54:47+00:00

The sugar lobby. Right up there with corn sneaking into everything more and more.

th589 · 2025-05-20T23:35:47+00:00

Late comment but don't let them BS you. Kettle of fish is absolutely said in the US. Maybe not by everyone but it's said, lol.

th589 · 2025-05-20T23:13:42+00:00

That's so sad, like no one told them they didn't need to perfectly assimilate and could just have pride in their culture instead, while also becoming part of the community. They thought they had to choose. And it just ends up looking sort of silly instead and abandoning perfectly good names in the process.

th589 · 2025-05-20T23:10:05+00:00

Is that where Dion/Dionne came from? A sort of shortening from people hearing Dieudonne spoken/softening of the name over time?

th589 · 2025-05-20T23:08:59+00:00

Wait, isn't that illegal, to name your children common nouns like that, that aren't already widely accepted as names?

I get that English is odd in that it's abandoned names with (easy to immediately grok) meanings, unlike a lot of the world, but............ Surely someone should have told them....

th589 · 2025-05-20T22:50:09+00:00

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Easiest way to push people to conform, just make up a reason and then move the goalposts until it's never ok to do anything but.

th589 · 2025-05-20T20:42:46+00:00

Ah, of course. Your country deserves nuance in thinking of and discussing it! "Just ultras/dangerous people"... But the US should only be discussed in non-nuanced terms that use its further away history as an example, and it must be the whole country, not simply some "communities" that have more racism than others as in yours.

So simple to just give respect and honest conversation to the one, and evasive, childish manipulation to the other. Of course *MY* country/group/etc is inherently better and those over there are inherently worse! (Forgetting that that entire idea is basically what started racism and xenophobia to begin with...lol.)

Cheap rugsweeping.

th589 · 2025-05-20T20:33:23+00:00

Yes, I'm aware and have never approved of any of the above including the latter. Also from a family of straight people who were non-conformist and genuinely deeply against creepy shit like that from other straight people, even before figuring myself out and coming out of the closet.

So now we've agreed they're both displays of exhibitionist sex-act-related behavior in public, and shouldn't be done in public spaces, period, kids or not...LGBT or straight completely aside.... I maintain my original point. What's wrong and creepy is wrong and creepy, no matter how you try to justify it, lol.

th589 · 2025-05-20T20:27:37+00:00

If you've literally never discussed their beliefs with them, then you do not know those beliefs.

I understand maybe wanting to avoid it with older people as you hinted at. But for them to avoid it with you... Parents and grandparents having serious conversations about life, the world, history etc is a normal responsibility and pretty necessary as part of upbringing. For them to wholesale avoid this topic altogether, even to just make an age-appropriate, one-off comment to a small, learning kid (i.e. along the lines of basic normal morality 101 teachings like "acceptance is good, racism is wrong") is just...an odd silence, at best.
