I know what I want. Do you?


After all the Katy Perry “I kissed a girl”-hoopla, where it seemed like everyone was suddenly bi-curious or try-sexual when they got a bit drunk and/or wanted to impress their boyfriends, it seemed only appropriate to create a direct statement as to what most lesbians wants: A lesbian!

Now, I don’t mean to knock those that are experimenting or simply bisexual, but in my experience, most lesbians prefer to find a woman-loving woman... well, at least if said lesbian is interested in something more than just sex. It just saves a lot of wasted time and confusion for everyone involved - and let's face it, the term "lesbian drama" is a reality. We are emotional creatures... even when it's supposed to be about just hot sex. ;o)

So if you’re single and looking for a woman who wants a woman, then this design might be for you?

Let your t-shirt do your talking, Kristen!



This is acutally a very old design, and certainly exists in MANY variations, and I'll be the first to admit that there's nothing really innovative about it. I just like the simplicity of it, and how it could help out so very many people who may - or may not - be gay, but just don't want to talk about it.

One fine example of this could be Kristen Stewart, who recently came in at #2 on the 2010 AfterEllen Hot 100. Congratulation, Kristen... we really do heart you. Do you heart us too? And in what way exactly? That seems to be the question... and you're not answering it. No coming out, but no real "staying in the closet" either, since you're not saying that you're gay or straight.

That's why I'd like to help you out and suggest you let your t-shirt do your talking, Kristen - I've shamelessly put one of the gayest pictures of you (could you look more like Shane from 'The L Word'?) through a little Photoshop manipulation and here's the result:

Yeah, I like it! How about you?

Well do ya?!

There’s nothing innovative about this design, but it does have a huge personal meaning. I wore this design on a tank top at my first ever Pride parade!

It was such a huge experience for me and I was tearing up every five minutes, because it was all so beautiful and overwhelming… and then also a bit sad. I saw all these people waving and smiling at me cause I was walking in the parade, but at the same time I knew that if you saw me walking down the street tomorrow, holding the hand of my girlfriend or kissing her – however innocently or briefly – most of these people wouldn't be smiling at it. Well, maybe some dirty smiles or those that are a result of a joke told at our expense.

But at the Pride parade, these people just accepted me and the most flaming, flamboyant, butch, queer, quirky, nerdy or just plain normal and average LGBT person. And for once, I could hold the hand of the person I love, and kiss her in plain sight, and not only would it be accepted or tolerated, it would be cheered and celebrated. And if anyone would dare to react otherwise, then there were literally thousands of “my people” ready to defend our right to be who we are and do what comes naturally to us.

So yes, I do have pride and I still get shivers and goose bumps when I see any kind of Pride parade. The outburst of feeling freedom and pride to be yourself gets me every time. Do you have pride?
