as i live in a protective bubble away from the average day to day activities of our government, i had never seen nor heard janet napolitano until last week.

she turned up on msnbc and it was like gaydar going off the chart! she is definately a lesbian and if not might i suggest she sign up for one of those new mandated sex changes in the health care bill. she is butch!

If she had long hair, nobody would be calling her a dyke. "Gaydar" is an idiotic thing people use to justify clinging to their stupid stereotypes. Obviously, all lesbians are butch and all butch women are lesbians and this is the only way it can be. If she is gay, it'd be nice if she could come out, but forcing people out of the closet is no way to encourage kindness and acceptance. Especially if people are doing it in this snide look-at-the-freak way, with the comments about her looks and such.

@Celia: Tell me, do you also paint little unicorns and butterflies on your bookbag to go along with your view of a world which doesn't exist?

Every kid in my high-school that somebody like you came out and said "Just because they act that way doesn't mean they are gay" turned out to be gay. So is every butch woman gay? No, is every butch woman who makes snide deflections when asked if she is gay most likely gay? Yes.

"Powerful women in politics are often branded as lesbians, because "schrew" is an un-P.C. term they cannot use on the cable news shows . . . " Does anyone remember Shakespeare . . . the spelling is "shrew"? I miss reporters/commentators who went to Journalism school, or learned to run spell check.
