Today’s hot topic around the water cooler was the news story that Lindsay Lohan’s father says that she is a lesbian. As the token lesbian in the office I am often amused at the conversations that occur when the story that a celebrity is gay is discussed. This was the conversation that took place…
D: Did you guys see the news story that Lindsay Lohan is gay?
Me: Oh god, we don’t want her, take her back!
A looks visibly shocked. I don’t think he realised I was gay.
D: Yeah, her dad says that she is a lezzo.
Everyone looks at me because D uttered the word “lezzo” (which incidentally I hate).
D: Umm… not that there is anything wrong with that. (yes, she really did say that)
F: The article says that she has lesbian tendencies.
If there is a phrase I hate it is “has lesbian tendencies”. As soon as I hear that I am taken back to the 60s when homosexuality was believed to be a psychological disorder and homosexuals were institutionalised. I can see the words “has lesbian tendencies” written on women’s medical records. I really wish news articles would stop using it.
The conversation then moved on to Lindsay Lohan’s replica of Marilyn Monroe’s final photoshoot dubbed, “The Last Sitting”. This meant that everyone could comment on how trashy it was and continuing bitching without feeling uncomfortable discussing celebrities possibly being gay in front of the lesbian. It also allowed me to bring out my rant about how if Marilyn Monroe was an emerging starlet today the tabloid magazines would write articles on how fat she was. Also, it is just plain embarrassing to see size 0 actresses trying to replica her famous photos. Those girls think that curves are a gym network. Today there are extremely few actresses that have the sexy curves that Marilyn had.
Now if Lindsay really is in a lesbian relationship then good for her. I hope her girlfriend teaches her about self-respect and dignity. But honestly, I think it is all a ploy to get some publicity. As Paris Hilton knows there is nothing like kissing a couple of girls to get your face splashed across the pages of magazines for weeks. However, it looks like Lindsay has gone one better and has done an Ellen by announcing her intention to marry her girlfriend. It really is like watching a car wreck.
