So 5 members of the German women's under -21 football team decided to pose for Playboy. The German football team is famous for having openly lesbian and bi team members. If I've understood correctly, there is 3-5 players who identify as lez/bi. So in this article, which I hope is a bad translation, they say that the wanted to pose for Playboy to show that female football players are not just "boyish" or only "homosexual". Homosexual? Is that an adjective to describe appearances? Behavior? Because as far as I understand, "homosexual" just describes your sexual orientation, not the way you behave overall or how you look. I mean, yes, you can stereotype lesbians into the "butch" and "femme" categories but not everyone falls under the strict stereotypes and even within these you have a wide variety of styles. And there are a lot of people who "look like" they are straight but really aren't. Call me sensitive, but the article kinda gives the impression that lesbians cannot be beautiful, attractive or hot and that we all are ugly and into women because we just can't attract men. And not just that, I guess we are into ugly women as well, as ugly women can only attract other ugly women.
I really hope that something was lost in the translation or that this actually wasn't what they said at all. But if it was...I doubt Germany will win World championship at home this summer if some of the team members think like this.
Anywhoo... 3 weeks till THE party! That's 21 days to you who like numbers!
Have a great and hot weekend! Laterz
