(106) "and Lesbian," Meg, "and Lesbian!"

In 1984 we still talked about "the Gay Community," and "Gay Men and Women." In hindsight, the handwriting was on the wall. "What's  wrong with 'gay women'? It's an inclusive term," gay men argued. "Inclusive my ass!!" was the Lesbian rejoinder. By 1985-6, the universal term, even in Toledo, was "Gay Men and Lesbians" or "Lesbians and Gay Men." GLBT and finally LGBT came along later.

As to this comic strip.

A woman knows "She Has Arrived" when men dress up like her.

I haven't followed drag much, but are men dressing up like Sarah Palin? She seems like perfect female impersonator material. But maybe 
Carlie Fiorina would be more trendy. 

Hilary goes without saying. It'd be great if her Hubby became the first male First Lady by dressing up as his wife.
