Peppermint Patty's constant companion, Marcie, calls her "Sir" and has since she first appeared in the strip by name in 1971. For a long time, this annoyed Peppermint Patty to no end, and she would continually snap at Marcie, "Stop calling me 'Sir'!", but eventually she got used to it. (Actually, the first character to call Peppermint Patty "Sir" was not Marcie, but a pigtailed girl named Sophie in Peppermint Patty's cabin at summer camp, who appeared in the same series of strips in the summer of 1968 that introduced Marcie's predecessor, Clara.) Some observers have suggested, given Patty's tomboyish tendencies and Marcie's referring to her as "Sir," that Patty and Marcie are a lesbian couple, but Schulz never depicted Patty having a romantic interest in any female character, only in a male character: Charlie Brown.

She's just a tomboy, one of those girls that's just one of the guys. Peppermint Patty's not as big on 'girly' things as the rest of the girls because that's just who she is. Big deal. The only reason Marcy calls her 'sir' is to establish Marcy's overly studious/polite characteristic, it's not about Peppermint Patty at all really. And by the way, if you were implying she was a lesbian, you're over looking a big part of Peppermint Patty's role in the comics: her unrequited love for Charlie Brown. It's been important to her character since she was introduced, and I'm surprised at how many people overlook this aspect of the comic and call Patty a lesbian.

Peppermint Patty is a side character in the Peanuts. She lives in a different village, and she may have a crush on Charlie Brown. It wasn't ever made clear. She plays baseball, and takes "Chuck's" classes. I don't know why Marcie (Peppermint Patty's friend) called her "sir." I don't think that was ever made clear, either. Maybe it was her nickname or something. Peppermint Patty is definitely a girl, though.

Are you talking about Marcie? She's who keeps Peppermint Patty honest!

Peppermint Patty is just a DIY hippie-type. Marcy called her "sir" because, although quite intelligent in many ways, Marcy was a bit absent-minded. Saying Patty is gay is unfair, and only goes to show how bound up we are by our stereotypes of what a "real" girl should be.
P.S. I was a tomboy like Peppermint Patty, and I am not gay.
