Why does SNL stereotype all lesbians to be like

Suzie Orman? What's their point. "Master dick", that's the first time I've ever said that? Was that supposed to be funny?

I'm so out of touch.

10. I didn't know that either.

But I can't stand to watch her so that's probably why I never clued in.

11. When has SNL stereotyped "all lesbians to be like Suze Orman?"

Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 01:24 AM by Janice325

I'm not trying to flame or snarky, it's just that as a lesbian, I don't recall off the top of my head seeing very many portrayals of lesbians on the show.

All I can think of is the first female African-American cast member, Danitra Vance, who was a lesbian, but I don't recall her doing any lesbian skits. This was in the mid 1980's, and she was on just one season.

She was a very talented young woman, and very underutilized on the show. She died way too young, in 1994 at the young age of 35 from breast cancer.

Sorry for kinda rambling, ben_meyers.

PS. I did get all the queer, inside joke references Kristin Wiig was making as Suze. I thought the skit was really funny, but went on a bit too long.
