t SSSUSS ■ Homophobia is a form of prejudicf. Among the Bronco family the Lesbian Bi sexual Transsexual (LGBT) comrnu- nity has a presence too strong to ig* nore. For those who fear what they do not understand, consider that each human has a different cause, belief, and Ideology. Let us not be so judgemental. Interview by Alisha Murphy includes commentary from an anonymous bisexual female. Q: What is a stud/femme? Slim; a stud is someone who dresses more mas culine. A femme would be a girl who...actually... she could be girly or she could just be a girl who wears t-shirts and tennis shoes. Those would be qualified as a ‘stem’, boarder line a stud and a femme. Q: Why do you choose to dress as stud? A: Slim ; Personally, I mean I like the swag better. I mean of course I want to attract girls so, I believe its only right to dress more mas culine. I don’t have the girliest body so, I like my male swag. Q: Since you have been a stu dent at FSU, would you say that your appearance and or sexual orientation is a factor here at school? A: Slim: I mean it comes into play at times when I have a presenta tion in class. They would prefer that I dress like a female but I’m not gonna change my style of dress just for a presentation in class. Then they say, “Well if you were on a job, how would you dress?” I’d dress the same way because personally that’s just who I am. I can still be clean in the attire that I wear. And then you get the accidental “Sir” and it doesn’t bother me but when you notice a profes sor is doing it on purpose or because you didn’t dress up for their presentation, you know- that gets in the way of a lot of stuff. * or do other things and it’s like you can pledg^^t you have to keep your sexu ality ^cret. When I was a freshmen, I had a close friend who chose to hide s her sexuality until her process of pledg ing was over. At the same time it wasn t fair because what do you do once you cross, just figure “Oops, it just so hap pened that after I crossed I was gay” Q: Oo you ever or have you ever purposely hide your sexuality? A: Slim; I don’t think so. Except when I was younger. I’ve gotten past the stepping stone of getting the fact to my family so. Other people around campus really don’t matter, I don’t have to see you for the rest of my life so it really doesn’t matter. I would be hiding myself if I did that. A: Anonymous; 1 did when I first began here but, only because I wanted people to know me before they labeled me. Even now if asked I would tell but I don’t volunteer the information like, “Hi, I’m bisexual” A: Slim; The males are the first to be negative soon as they hear a girl is lesbian, its like “Oh you’re a dyke”, espe cially once they hear no from a chick they wanted to talk to too. Q: What do you say to people who are homophobic or are afraid to befriend anyone from the LGBT community? A: Slim; Every gay girl that you see hanging together, aren’t to- ,gether. People i before they thiik that it’s appwoach unliss she’s * no one ' ° rejec- Every gay [male or fe- K^es not Slim; 1 feel like it is a problem too because you have LGBT people who want to pledge assume act, and fact.
