Are Lesbian Relationships Actually “Cute” or Are They Just Labeled As Such?

The other day I asked whatcha think about lesbian couples consistently being labeled as “cute.”

Here’s an excerpt from my post:

Why is everyone all just like, ‘Awwww, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are SO cute. They’re just SO cute together!’ AND, people are all like, ‘Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi are adorable! They’re so cute!’

I’ve said it too. BUT, when I saw these pics today on a site with the caption that, “Lindsay and Samantha are so cute!” it kind of pissed me off. Why is a relationship with two females always referred to as cute?! Gay male relationships are usually referred to as ‘hot’ or a ‘good couple’ but not simply ‘cute.’

I think Mr. Gyllenhaal’s explanation was the best, so I’m only gonna post his response.

I see what you are saying. First off, I don’t know why anyone thinks Samantha Ronson is cute. She is so far from cute and therefore her relationships are anything but cute.

Second, I think people say that kind of stuff because woman are usually feminine and gentle so the word cute is synonymous with that. I have never really thought about it though. Maybe you are making a mole hill into a mountain Joy. Either way I loves you!!

I couldn’t have said it better myself, literally. Samantha Ronson is anything but cute, and that’s kind of why I initially wondered, what’s so “cute” about her relationship?! I do think that women and “cute” tend to be synonymous. Very well said, Mr. Gyllenhaal. And making mountains out of mole hills is what I do best. It’s why I can’t keep a man for longer than a few months, which is great. Out with the old, in with the new.

I’m gonna make a conscious effort to stop calling every lesbian couple “cute.” I find it demeaning for some reason. When two mature, female adults are banging, especially if one of ‘em ain’t cute, there’s nothing “cute” about it. Now hot gay couples on the other hand … they’re cute. Heh.

*** On a sidenote - I’ve blogged for 2 sites the past 2 days, drove out of town yesterday, (I’m just home for the weekend before I go back to spend time with my dad in the hospital. He had a few health scares this week, too, so please feel free to keep the prayers a’ comin’), went to a hilarious comedy show late last night and I’m so excited to be at my place for the next few days so I can hit the gym. I’ve kept all my weight off that I lost for Europe even though I’ve been eating junk. The gym is the business; the results do come. And yep, I’m fine after the earthquake. I wasn’t near where it hit at the time. In summary, I’m exhausted, so there’s no chance in hell I’m doing links today. I worked hard posting a ton of stories this past week. I think that’s a good trade off for no links today or yesterday.

Have a great weekend, all!
