Something that's been aggravating me lately because I'm doing more interior decorating work--why do straights and gay men tend to get all surprised that a woman-loving woman can make herself and/or her home look nice?
At least, they have been in my experience, way too often.

To CJ: I'm no Martha Stewart, but I may have played a game called "Martha Stewart in Prison"....

Don't forget Honey Labrador the lesbian on Queer eye for the straight girl. http://www.bravotv.com/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Girl/Gal_Pals/Honey_Labrador//index.shtml
Everyone is unique in their own ways. Don't let people change you based on stereotypes. Set them 'straight' on gay stereotypes, they aren't real. They are just the more visible majority.
Hope that helps. Gives you a little celebrity ammo to fire back at the ignorant. :)

You are meeting up with the stereotype image that persons who are in the grouping of lesbians/women loving women have a house with smelly cats, don't keep a bathroom clean and have no interior decorating skills. You have to convince them one person at a time.

That is a sterotype. Many bisexual and lesbian women know a lot about style and care about fixing up their home to make it comfortable and look nice.

of course they can. don't let people's ignorance bring you down though. You know that you're right, so keep on keeping on.

Just tell them you are a "lipstick lesbian" and they'll understand.
