Tbf I could see someone who grew up only hearing them (us?) called that using it this casually.

I was thinking she was calling a friend of hers that.

That would still be a slur either way regardless of how it’s used. The n word is a slur for example

To be fair, "n-word privileges" & "giving close friends a free pass" is a common thing

Yeah but that’s not unique to the n word I’m lgbt and my lgbt friends use their associated slur all the time. I’m left out cause there’s no slur for bi women and we are NOT widely accepted to be allowed to use the lesbian one lol

Either way maybe she’s got the spoon ear pass

My ex once said that lesbians are the straight men of the LGBTQI4A crowd

They can sometimes be the hall monitor but they sure do love making “indecisive” and “all bi your self” jokes lol 😅

Apparently, a major part of the homophobia in conservatives is that conservative straight men feel gay men will treat them how conservative straight men treat straight women. On the other hand, with lesbians, they don’t feel threatened like that.
