You can be such a shithead when you talk about lesbians, Andrew: That you "can understand" and that political dissent is not tolerated. I don’t know whether you just have some monolithic view of us from 15 years ago that you can’t let go of or what. Anyways, out of every girl I know NOBODY can stomach hillary, save one friend in Denver. And the demographic matches just about what we see other places. It’s probably a class split, with less educated tilting to Hillary. I’m 33. I expect the women 20 years older than me have more Hillary support, but I haven’t seen it.
And the notion that she is somehow better for gay people is not a pervasive view among lesbians. The diva factor you described is real and doesn’t work on us the same way it works on the HRC go go boys. The mudslinging she did claiming Obama was lying about his UC professorship got a lot of anger going among my set (lots of girls in the academy, REALLY don’t appreciate denigration of non-tenure track faculty); her vote on the war is a huge problem with lesbians, so many of whom are deeply anti-war. Oh, and that she cheats and lies. That doesn’t help either.
