I get a little irked about movie stars or singers being representative of the LGBTQIA community, especially when so many of them have been sanitized by their agents as to be more "acceptable".

Look at Rachel Maddow. Perfectly fine Lesbian who was kinda "dolled up" when she got her tv show.
Ellen? Same thing.

Hollywood culture is (to me) generally vapid anyway so Im really not all that suprised when people make asshattish comments.

Now, let Dorothy Allison make a "men with boobs" comment and I would be up her ass so quick it wouldn't be funny. Maybe its because I expect more from her because she has already shown herself to be an elevated thinker.
Maybe its because I KNOW she identifies as a Femme.

More thinking on that one.
