‘What a waste.’ Lesbian singer reveals things straight men say to her

FOR many lesbian women, stereotypes and harassment play a frequent role in their daily lives. It’s something 27-year-old lesbian singer “Miss Natalie” knows all too well.

“Often guys will say, ‘You don’t look gay,’ or ‘You just haven’t had the right guy yet,’” she explains. “I’ve even had men say that it’s a ‘waste’ that I’m gay. That one I find particularly hurtful, as though I’m worthless because I’m not attracted to men.

“But what really frustrates me, though — especially when I’m on a date with someone I love — is when men ask, ‘Can I join you girls tonight?’” she says.
