...I was surrounded by strangers; I’d lost my way. I used to have a talent, but now it’s gone, vanished, like a beautiful dream I can’t remember.

I once had wonderful, startlingly accurate gaydar. I spent years writing a humor blog about the topic to educate fellow queers. Now I can’t always tell right away. It’s ruining my life.

In cities, trendy young people — queer and straight, male, female and non-binary — are blending together, look-wise. That’s because mainstream style is now hipster style. But here’s the thing: Hipster style is just queer style, particularly queer women’s style.

Put another way: Lesbians invented hipsters.

Becoming normal means losing the sense of being part of a transgressive community.

So lesbians both created and destroyed everything? That sounds almost.....Russian!

It sounds almost Godlike, which I agree with. After all, I am the closet thing to a living God. :2razz:

So your gaydar no longer works and that upsets you? I thought only gays had gaydar... I guess that explains your over-the-top anti-gay sentiment. Just be yourself LowDown and address your feelings instead of lashing out externally.

I've never had a gaydar at all. I'm completely oblivious to that sort of thing.

I've never had a problem with lesbians, but if they created hipsters then they have a lot to answer for.

No, Hipsters really wanted to be lesbian females.
 
Three thoughts: This is the most pathetic column I have seen for a while. Well never mind, there was that one article how the election outcome stripped a woman's desire to have romance ever again.

Second thought: I refuse to be that guy who blames the depravity of hipster culture on lesbians.

Last thought: Maybe this will induce doubt among leftists about the desirability of creating a new ubiquitous gender neutral society or the mass acceptance of avante garde culture. Apparently we're finding out that this too is cultural appropriation and must be mourned.

Let the "those damn kids" feeling come out. You're entirely justified.
