At one stage, I found myself listening to the community radio station
during the all-gay/lesbian broadcast. I listened to the women, and
suddenly wished I was gay so I could actually belong in that
community. One of the first times I found a group of women I felt I
could get along with.
Of course, this was before I figured out I was bi. And long before
I found out that most dyke hangouts (down here, at least) apparently
tend to be very smoke. My bi and lesbian friends refuse to take me.
(I have trouble with two or three people smoking in a ventilated room.
Severely sensitive to it.)
(Yes, I did wind up with gay friends. And a couple of them know
computers!)
