Queer girl: Her hair is like the prow of a beautiful ship. / Chandra: The HMS Butch Babe. Brings new meaning to the Love Boat - climb aboard.

I came out as bisexual like 15 years ago and yet, somehow, this picture is my root.

  1. Also friends, I tried to photoshop Sara Ramirez into the Comment Awards feature image, but only succeeded in learning that my photoshop skills have not changed since the fourth grade.

          • owl yes! my school in like 1994 had computers which were super duper old even at that time, and they used those enormous floppy discs. it wouldn’t even really operate until you inserted the giant disc, and then you’d get to play some version of “bowling” that I’m pretty sure was mostly text-based.

  2. Thank you for the Comment Award, Queer Girl! I’m glad all my pain and suffering lead to this beautiful moment.

    • My ultimate group costume for Halloween is a bunch of 80’s moms with one-syllable names like Deb and Pat and Barb, all wearing mom jeans and turtlenecks. We’d just drink wine and eat candy all night. This gif is pretty representative of that dream.

  3. The only thing more #blessed than getting a Comment Award is getting one right after the real Rachel. Thank you queer girl!
