Female Inmates Segregated for "Looking Gay"

Who isn't "gay" in prison?

Virginia's largest women's prison rounded up inmates who had loose-fitting clothes, short hair or otherwise masculine looks and placed them in a separate cell block.

That's according to prisoners and corrections officers who talked to The Associated Press about the practice.

They say dozens were moved in an attempt to split up relationships and curb illegal sexual activity at the 1,200-inmate Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women in Troy. Some straight women were sent to the wing strictly because of their appearance.

Civil rights advocates called the moves unconstitutional punishment for "looking gay."

Women Don't Get Me Hard...Am I Gay?

Dear Betty,

Since I was about seven or eight years old, I have masturbated with the thought of the naked women I saw on American Pie 3 or the thought of my crush. This continued and continued until now, which I am 17 years old. I have asked myself about my sexual orientation and I have literally freaked out about not wanting to be gay, even though, there have been no signs whatsoever throughout my childhood.

Meet Cumbio

This is Cumbio the teenage flogger who's the new sensation in Argentina. If you didn't catch the piece in the NY Times, a flogger posts pics of themselves, their friends, and everything else about their lives - it's like social networking with just pictures. 

What I love most about this intelligent young woman is that she's openly gay and it's only added to her stardom.  A virtual unknown, Cumbio made herself into a household name in Argentina by sharing her life and celebrating her orientation.  She just filmed a Nike commercial and her flogging site gets millions of hits.  I know this isn't the last we'll hear from her.
