I am now an honourary lesbian!!
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 05:46 PM by achtung_circus
I work for an organization the sharp end of which consists of about 250 people, about 150 women and 100 men. Of these women about 20 are openly lesbian.

We had a major conference the last two days, the evenings resembled 1st year university residence, it was wild. One of the tamer aspects was that I was voted an "Honourary Lesbian" by the girls.

I was told by several that I am the only man they were willing to kiss, because I won't misinterpret it. There is some dissention about who gets the toaster oven (gratuitous Ellen Degeneres reference) but I really do feel honoured.

On edit: I also have an invitation to ride on a float in the Pride parade next year.

5. I am uniquely blessed,
I have both a wife and a girl friend.

No.

The girl friend came after the separation. The divorce comes next. The girlfriend knows and will probably join us in the parade.

2. Call them women instead of girls, and you might get to keep the honor!
Just a little tip.

Congratulations though! These honorifics are not given out to just anybody!

11. On a serious note, it is an honour.
I was also invited to a wedding. By that time (next summer) there will probably be legal same-sex marriage Canada-wide. This is a good thing.
