Despite the title, the weird thing about lesbianism is that you rarely hear the word spoken in pop culture. The media tends not to touch the word too much, but it really, really wants to push the concept.
The "safe" term they use is "queer," which is hysterical because it wasn't that long ago that the word was considered a grave insult to the people of the LGBTQ+ community, and now it's their catch-all term for anything that isn't "heteronormative." Looking back at my past writing, I think I can piece together why they don't like to encourage women to be lesbians.
Lesbians tend to be a complication to the Democrat Party, specifically when it comes to transgenderism. More than a few lesbians are quiet Republicans, too. Better to try to direct women to be "queer," or some form of homosexuality that allows them to get around lesbian culture, which is a bit too rough around the edges for the modern left.
And boy, do they push queerness.
I remember watching "Only Murders in the Building" with my wife. It was a fantastic show in Season One, and starred Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short as a trio who start a murder podcast as they investigate a murder in the apartment building they live in. The show was equal parts funny, with a solid whodunnit plot. Around that time, I had just been complaining to my wife about how they often force homosexuality into pretty much anything nowadays, and she, too, had noticed the trend and was somewhat annoyed by it.
During Season Two, "Only Murders in the Building" injected its own homosexual plot between Selena Gomez's character and some lesbian activist/actress out of the blue. Both my wife and I huffed in annoyance. We haven't turned the show back on since. The funny thing is, my wife is somewhat on the left. If even she's annoyed, then we can safely assume the problem has gotten out of hand.
Fast forward to this week, and I was writing about how "Supergirl" actress Milly Alcock was talking Supergirl up as someone who "goes both ways" as she discussed the character's status as a "queer icon." It's a discussion that had people throwing up their hands and swearing off the movie, not because they hated gays or lesbians, but because people are just sick of the push.

And it's almost always geared toward women.
Yeah, you see gay men in media, but if you pay attention, you'll notice that these gay men are gay. Flat out. No questions about it.
The women, however... are just women.
It's almost as if the legacy media is trying to push the idea that women are just not straight by design. Even if you prefer men, have been straight all your life, you are prone to becoming intimate with a woman over a long enough timeline because no one is truly just into men.
What's more, I notice that behind this "every woman is 'queer'" push is the idea that women being sex and romantic options for even "straight" women is tied to the idea of independence and empowerment. The mere act of a man not being in the mix somehow equates to a show of strength and defiance toward perceived weaknesses.
The real message behind the queerness is that a woman is truly strong when she rejects men. If you need love, romance, and emotional connection, as women do, then all they need to do is run into the arms of another woman.
Don't be feminine. Be queer. Queerness is independence and strength! Femininity is slavery and weakness.
I often say that the Democrat Party and the radical left don't actually care about any group they claim to. They're all a means to an end, and you can see this in its own way in the push for "queerness." Whatever women do is of no real matter to them. They can take or leave sex with other women, so long as you vote for the person with the "D" next to their name; they couldn't care less about how well off the queer community actually is. If tomorrow, the "queer" community starts voting Republican, you can bet their proclaimed principles of being welcoming and accepting would suddenly get tossed out the window.
But "queer" pays off — better than lesbianism — so as it stands, every woman is queer. What they want is lesbianism, but they don't like the lesbian culture, so they want to call it something else and create a different group of lesbians.
They're still lesbians; they're just more politically reliable lesbians.
