From denim cut-off vests to black leather motorcycle jackets to pull-over Patagonia fleeces, there are so many elements of outerwear one could, if one needed to for any reason, associate with the queer community, and each of those items have a certain personality to them, if you really think about it, or perhaps need to think about it, for the purpose of writing a quiz. Not all varieties of lesbian outerwear are accounted for in this quiz, but quite a few are, and now you should take it and see what happens!
Quiz: Which Lesbian Coat Are You?

I came here to say the exact same thing! Also if your title is literal, maybe this description just is academia queers? A tad edgy, tired, and cute is the most I could ever aspire to!

January 7, 2024 at 7:00 amAw the overcoat description is such a compliment! Indeed I have an overcoat, but living in the subtropics it’s much more aspirational than practical.
Incidentally there is a typo in the first question as it is about desserts not deserts.

Leather motorcycle jacket. Which is true but I’m also an anxious mess at flirting because I didn’t become hot until my 30s.

I am a giant faux-fur coat who takes up space and radiates warmth.
I did not expect that.
(Thanks so much for the bus/train option in the transport category!)

Utility jacket, thats a yes.
You are durable and steadfast, capable and supportive, outdoorsy and reliable. Most importantly, you are warm and have multiple functions -

Why yes I do own 2 oversized plaid coats, tend to think of myself as edgy, and am perpetually slightly tired, why do you ask?

As soon as I saw that I am a utility coat, I heard myself say, “YES!” inside my own head. You nailed it once again, AS!

Ugh I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so called out by such a quiz before… 😅 Zip up hoodie? I mean, I sure wore a lot of them in accidental boy mode, and loved borrowing my girlfriend’s, and I do try to be reliable, and I’m pretty go-with-the-flow… So ok yeah you got me. Am I really that easy to read? 🤣🤦🏻♀️
