Lezflirt: The Inspirational Suzie Sexpert aka Susie Bright

Suzie Sexpert was the byline on the Toys for Us column in the lesbian magazine On Our Backs.

Susie Bright is the person behind the persona.

Along with Dan Savage, she has been a prime shaper of my sexual attitudes.

Mostly that it’s none of my business what other people do with other consenting adults.

it is only my business – and society’s business – when what occurs is with non-consenting adults  or underaged people deemed not able to form consent.

the funny thing is

that if you’re queer

you’ve done a lot more thinking about yourself as a person

than someone who just accepts the default setting

and really

we need to stop thinking of missionary heterosexuality as the only valid norm

it’s not even the norm for straight people
