Trans lesbians are lesbians and are welcome.

Lesbians of other nationalities, even ones you “don’t like”, are welcome. Feel free to speak another language if you can, as long as you tag it with the right language flair.

No, it is not, and don't ever let anyone pin a sexuality label that isn't you on you. I am bi and Gen-X. In the 80's and 90's I took constant shit from homophobic straight people, as expected. What I didn't expect, and was truly hurt by, was my homosexual acquaintances calling me "closeted", "confused gay", or "a greedy f*g".
Sorry. I'm clearly still bothered by the bullshit from that era.
Oh dear my comment was in jest, I’m sorry. I call myself gay often but really I’m bi. I’m an old millennial, and grew up when when being tagged as “gay” was a social death sentence. Luckily, I flew under the radar until it became socially unacceptable here to dunk on queer folk. Bow basically my entire friend group is gay, queer, or tans. All of my siblings ended up queer, even the ones in straight marriages lawl. My folks had a lot to learn, and now they’re cool… but weren’t always.
Anyway, I mean no animosity by calling my bi-ass “diet gay”.
