I have also not used the word lesbian in years. I'm not exposed to too much where i live and what i ascertain is what i read or see on TV. I backed away from the word after i decided i didn't fit into what i was understanding how the word was being defined for me.
I shouldn't have felt that way. As most are saying here and in other threads, it is personal and there isn't a clear cut definition like i thought there was.
I agree with Toughy, due to recent events, it is now a word i am beginning to resonate to ...again.
It's good to be coming home. Lesbian pride IS a beautiful thing.
