"Which of you is the man?" and other useful stereotypes

So, first of all, this symbol is just totally inaccurate. Aside from the fact that everyone knows that horizontal stripes make a person look heavier than they are...

Two dresses. Seriously? (Coley said we can't say 'really?' anymore because it has been so overused now that hearing it makes her want to drive her car into a palm tree)...

But I digress...

Two dresses? Seriously?

A more accurate symbol would have probably included one figure in a softball uniform, and the other in a flannel shirt and hiking boots.

Not that our very diverse community doesn't include "L-Word style" lipstick and dress wearing lesbians. Because it does. Believe me. I know.

I know.

Seriously.

....But by choosing a symbol of two figures in dresses, how the heck can we be expected to perpetuate the totally misinformed and heterosexist viewpoint that one in a lesbian partnership must be "the man..."?

Huh? Answer me that!

So, logo people (good name for a rock band)...

...you need to step it up if we are going to be able to cling to simplistic, archaic stereotypes that attempt to define us in heterosexual terms.

 Come on! Get with it! Slackers!
