Don't call me a #lipsticklesbian. I'm a #femme. #LGBTQIA+ #poetry #FaitheWempen #Don'tCallMeLipstickLesbian

Don't call me lipstick lesbian.
I'm a femme.
I'm a femme because of the femmes before me, the skirted femmes in secretarial jobs
enduring the men's crude words and touches
to support butches too proud to go out in drag.
The femmes who took their lovers' arms proudly in the street
when they could have passed unnoticed,
knowing it might mean insult- or death
The femmes kicked out of dyke CR groups
because they would not cut their hair and wear flannel.

Don't call me lipstick lesbian.
I'm a femme. Femme, as in butch-femme.
I love the quiet, solid woman in jacket and tie
with short-cropped hair and eyes full of longing.
I love the strong forearms supporting her body
as she thrusts against me, eyes closed in concentration.
I love dancing slow, my arms around her neck, head on her lapel, the melting of the stone.

Lipstick lesbians are somebody else
Maybe they're the young femmes in tight black spandex
writhing together on the dance floor under flashing lights.
Maybe they re housewives coming out together at forty, wondering how it could be happening to two normal women.
I hope they're not those straight women in men's porn magazines
pretending to be hot for each other while the camera clicks.

But don't call me lipstick lesbian.
I'm a femme.

We, the LGBTQIA+, are: A) scrubbed from federal gov't sites B) only legal to be queer in the US since 2003 C) denied protections based on sexual orientation or gender identity in public accommodations, like restaurants, theaters, etc. ...But we're "safe"? #lgbtqia+ #civilrights #wontgoback
