… Lesbians love: Cargo Shorts. I feel a heatwave! The more pockets… the more lesbianic. These shorts (best if acquired from Abercrombie, American Eagle or Hollister) can instantly up your lez street cred. They also serve as a handy way to avoid having to carry a messenger bag (so much storage room!), and deter pick pockets. Where’s my wallet? Well, it’s definitely in one of the bajillionty pockets in these things. Can be spotted: all summer, on the deck with a draft beer, paired with a polo shirt.

… Lesbians love: Being Vegetarians. Cucumbers, zucchinis and tofu galore! Lesbians love being vegetarians. True story: at a gay fundraiser last summer, the provided dinner was a hot dog. The lezzies (read: my friends) in attendance asked if there were veggie dogs… they’d only brought 10. I replied, “Well, I hope there are only 10 lesbians here.” Then immediately lined up to collect my tofu dog, because I wasn’t planning on sharing or having to cut a lez later. Can be spotted: eating Tofurkey, at their own meatless barbeques, in the produce section, at your local farmer’s market.

… Lesbians love: Birkenstocks “Honey, your sandals are just so… gay!” — need I say more? Can commonly be spotted: strapped around lezzie feet, at your local Pride celebration and/or at your local natural foods store. (Hint! Socks will winterize our favorite footwear!)

… Lesbians love: Cut Off T-shirts. A cut off t-shirt is the perfect item of clothing to wear if you’re a lesbian. Not only will it let you show off your guns, but it also can be cut low enough so that you can show off your: (1) bra (read: sports bra), or (2) undershirt. A pair of scissor is truly all you need to remake your thrift store t-shirts into this truly versatile piece of clothing. Can be spotted: at the gym (for extra sports bra spotting), all summer, at any dance party where lesbians congregate.

… Lesbians love: Tegan & Sara, but mostly Sara

I mean, it stands to reason that lesbians everywhere are going to love musically inspired twins who happen to be attractive lesbians, right? What I don’t understand is why all the lesbians I seem to know want to bone Sara, but not Tegan. Aren’t they identical? Someone please clear this up for me. 

Can be spotted: In threads all over the internet asking which of the two is hotter, lesbian cd collections…wait, do people collect cds anymore?…

… Lesbians love: Softball

Bats. Balls. Girls in spandex shorts under short shorts. Sweat. Playing in the pool together after tournaments… 

Sorry, there. I got carried away.

Can be spotted: At your local park, in the Olympics, and in my dreams, apparently.

… Lesbians love: Butterflies

I can’t even begin to explain this one, but yeah. Butterflies. No joke. 

Can be spotted: As tattoos, in jewelry form, and as decals on the back of some chic’s car.

… Lesbians love: Rainbow Jewelry. Necklaces, Rings and Anklets… Oh My! Can be spotted: around the fingers and necks of rural lesbians everywhere. It’s like having your own personal pride parade everyday! Available from queer bookstores nationwide.

… Lesbians love: Tribal Armbands. What tribe you ask? No tribe in particular. But I am either 1/32nd Cherokee or Apache, so, you know, it’s cultural.  Extra points if they have managed to incorporate flowers, barbed wire or selected a design straight off of the wall in the tattoo parlor. Can be spotted: On queer lady arms, chests and lower backs all summer. Especially paired with that cut off t-shirt at your local gay bar.

… Lesbians love: Melissa Ferrick’s song ‘Drive’.

I have long suspected that Melissa Ferrick’s ‘Drive’ is the anthem of lesbians everywhere. If you don’t believe me, just turn up this jam up and see how many lesbians in the room start making eyes at each other.  

To further test my theory that this song has achieved anthem status, a quick google search shows the result ‘Melissa Ferrick’ followed by ‘Melissa Ferrick Drive’ and ‘Melissa Ferrick Drive Lyrics’.

Bottom line: Play this song for your girlfriend and/or love interest and thank me later. 

Can be spotted: on any mix cd and in the lesbian’s love making arsenal.
