I’m a lesbian in an LGBTQ+ sports league & I feel discriminated against by gay men. What gives?

Hi Jake,

27-year-old butch lesbian here. I recently joined a queer sports league with a mix of different people from the LGBTQ+ community. It’s been a lot of fun meeting new friends, but one thing I quickly noticed was that a lot of the gay men in the league like to make passive aggressive “jokes” about how women are “gross” and our bodies “smell.”

Keep in mind, these are grown men saying these things. Some of them are older than me. And I get it. They’re not into chicks! (No complaints here. The feeling is mutual. I’m not into dudes!)

How about we take this to the next level?
