On the other site, for a long time, it was the other way around. VERY few people seemed to be willing to admit to identifying as lesbians, AND MANY MANY people felt totally free to make fun of lesbians. IMO, that was tolerated by the admins. It took a few people making quite a lot of noise to get some attention paid to that issue. i am HAPPY to see people freely ID as lesbian here. It was not always that way on the old site.
