The Real Lesbians Of Orange County

Ah, Orange County.  Disneyland, the Angels, beautiful beaches, The Housewives of Orange County, and…. a teeny tiny lesbian community.

Maybe it’s the republican influence. I’m not sure, but it’s true. Our community is small. And believe it or not, in this case small means big drama.

Apparently when you’ve got a bunch of women sleeping with all of the same women, it creates a lot of drama.

When I first came out, about 9 years ago, there were 4 girl-bars in OC. You had a choice. But now, as of the writing of this post, there are none. Zero. Our last one, In Cahoots in Fullerton that gave us Sunday’s only, stopped about six months ago. And there is one in Anaheim, The Rio, that tolerates us on Karaoke night. There are a few in nearby Long Beach and the other way, in Riverside.

But somehow, whether by design or not, there are no more bars in OC.

And that makes it kinda hard, you know? I mean, it’s bad enough that even with the internet, gays and lesbians are forced to hang out in bars because they’re the only places we can be ourselves without running the risk of being beat up, or at the very least, having comments made by those around us. But, I digress…..

So, if you’re a lesbian in Orange County, you most likely hang out in bars in Long Beach or Riverside. And since there are so few of us, you’ve most likely met me, or at least seen me. And I’ve seen you. We may have even dated, or made out in the parking lot on a night at The Happy Hour when we both drank too much.

But, the interesting thing, the point that makes the “Real Lesbians Of Orange County” is the fact that there are so few of us that pretty much anyone you meet has slept with one of your exes. Or you’ve slept with one or two of hers. And because of this, things are never dull for long.

So, keep coming back and reading. I’ll be reporting on what goes on. Don’t be surprised if you read about yourself here. It could easily happen……
