I find this somewhat disturbing... shouldn't everyone under the age of 15 be banned anyway?!

Its not like the lesbians are actually going to be doing anything raunchy, so its fine for kids to be there.

Nail on the head. Thank you very much.

Affirm your identity my ass. If everyone's supposed to be equal, why make a big deal about how you're different?

I have asked that same question many times.

Where are the pictures?

The Australian WOMAN Network (AWN), a transsexual lobby group, had applied to revoke the exemption because the term "female-born" was offensive.

Lesfest spokeswoman Anna Holland-Moore said outside the tribunal there was a difference between lesbians who were raised female and those born male.

She said the homosexual community was diverse and transsexuals had the right to celebrate their own identity.

"It's not about excluding, it's about affirmation of our identity," Ms Holland-Moore said.

"We just wanted a week together to consolidate our culture and discuss relevant issues."

Nah, they aren't excluding, they're celebrating being different and that requires excluding those who are different in a different way.

I love it!!! Hey, why not all white people get together to celebrate how they are different? Oops...

Why not form a club for all black jewish conservative lesbian left-handed females with stuttering and breast-cancer? I would be the first to join... (I belong to one of those minority groups. Which one does not really matter does it?)

**Berzerker** · October 3, 2003, 22:10

Just make sure you tell the folks you exclude you aren't excluding them cuz you are just celebrating your particular culture, blah, blah, blah

You're conservative?

In the European sense of the word, Yes. I belong to some of the other minority groups mentioned too.

**Ben Kenobi** · October 3, 2003, 22:45

Let's try that again.

You have breast-cancer?

I'll pass. Those stutterers usually take an hour to get though the minutes.

It's weird when a bunch of left leaning lesbians are accused of being intolerant.

This is an old problem, unfortunately. And since when did anyone ever accuse lesbians of being tolerent?

**Lorizael** · October 4, 2003, 00:42

Phew, thought I'd killed the thread.

I don't see why private organizations can't exclude whomever they want whenever they want.

If it's illegal for whites to exclude blacks or for boy scouts to exclude gays then it should be illegal for dikes to exclude nondikes.

Either that or the government should stop playing social match maker.
