I’m not lesbian, but thanks for the compliment.

While I am proud to be culturally queer, I happened to turn out straight.

Thanks for this funny column! But it’s really not too far off…I always wondered what would happen when two people with hyphenated last names call their kids….what a burden to bear! As for me, my middle name will soon to be last again (after my divorce) Everyone thinks it’s hyphenated but it’s not. But try to tell that to a computer…..why we change names upon marriage anyway is beyond me (me, stupid mistake to do it the first time!)

and don’t get me going on salutations, why should they reflect gender in the first place, and women have a choice of Ms, Mrs, Miss and men have just Mr…..hmmmm.seems we ought to think of a gender-neutral title. Or just can them all together…..

Thanks for writing. Sense of humor is good regardless of the sexual orientation of the source.

It’s so wonderful to see that other lesbians have a sense of humor.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Abigail:

Thanks for your article. Our kids loved it too! How can I access LAJFAIPWVLHN’s list of 601 ways that non-hyphenist practices discriminate against poly-hyphenated individuals and their families. Is there a website?

Thanks,
Derek
