C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for August 24, 2010

He appears to know….

Richard knows ( I’m thinking he’s been there, done that).

But he looked such a cute girl!

I only wore my sister’s underwear for softness. Honest.

Takes one to know one, apparently.

so what if he’s gay ? this ‘toon is filled w/ strange characters and story lines…

..since when does dressing like a girl make you gay?…

3hourtour: Yuo forgot to add….(like Seinfeld) “Not that theres anything wrong with that!”

I don’t think the issue here necessarily is that someone may be gay (I believe it was mentioned many strips back that the brother in the middle panel is indeed gay), but that she [the Author] has some characters with misconceptions. Most learned people would know that dressing in women’s clothing (or dressing in men’s clothing, if you’re a man) does not make you gay. Plenty of drag queens, for example, are very straight.

Jade is right. Today.

hey, gay guys don’t need oranges, some of us are butch

…not that there is anything wrong with that…

Eddie Izzard makes the distinction that drag queens are gay, hense the “queen” part.

Transvestite are straight, but wear women’s clothing.

Thraceguy, you could put the oranges in your tighty-whiteys. Then tell folks you caught elephantiasis of the privates.

“Transvestite are straight, but wear women’s clothing.”

I was under the impression that both men AND women can be transvestites. It’s just that women are given more leeway. A woman who wears men’s clothing would merely be called a tomboy, whereas a man who does the same thing might open themselves up to violence. Not that I am condoning it, I am merely pointing out society’s intolerance with men who deviate from a set norm, vs. women.
