I am already back so soon because I came across this article. Well, I havn’t actually read the article (only parts of it) because the argument is so old. Check it out (oh, and while we’re at it I will probably add quite a number of links to afterellen.com because I spend a lot of time there):

So, the argument is this: are women who pretend they are lesbians and go around kissing (and what-not) cool or absurd? Hm, I am undecided. I remember that I loved the smooch Madonna and Britney shared on the MTV Awards… I actually bought an issue of BILD Zeitung and that’s not something I have ever done before or will ever do again (you have to be German to understand that). And I love the picture of Drew and Ellen (Page, I guess you have to add her last name just so you would not confuse her with that other Ellen).
But I also remember how very embarrassing it was when I went out with two (straight) friends once and they actually started kissing (and only after half a cocktail, and we were sitting at the bar, and they thought they were doing it for my benefit, none the less). Well, after some seconds I decided not to be embarrassed and just enjoy the show. But it was queer (pun intended).
So, is it okay when celebs do it just to get the visibility in? Or is it lame whoever does it? Or is it sort of sexy, so all you straight girls get on with it? Or should we just let people do what they feel like?
Usually, I would go with that last argument. I guess, it is the why that bothers us so much. When you just kiss a girl to turn on guys it seems to defeat the purpose. If you do it because you are drunk and always wanted to do it (just to do it) there really is no harm (unless the girl you are doing it with would like to do it when you are sober as well, and that could lead to another drama altogether). When you do it because you want to kiss this girl because she is so cute go for it (just don’t be too disappointed if she is “not that way”).
I loved the video and it completely grossed me out when the lesbian kissed the gay guy… but it cracked me up, too.
