i'm glad there's an article being posted about this, and that google has (finally) stopped banning the autocomplete of bisexual and lesbian.

"so you get the rigidly conservative homophobe who chatters on (and on and on) about the minutia of gay male sex or the overly PC doctrinaire "gold star" lesbian who sees patriarchal conspiracies around every corner including in the most innocent comments made by anyone who is not "in" with their particular in crowd and the hipster slanguage they use"

from bialogue, comparing homophobes to lesbians who get upset about ~patriarchal conspiracies~ like u need to be a tinhat to believe in the patriachy, and of course a phenomenon limited exclusively to lesbians
