One major stereotype is that all lesbians LOVE cats, but not all queer women do. People think we all live in cat hair, that we cuddle our ~gal pals~ alongside kitties, and that we can't pass a kitten on the street without taking it home. Sometimes, this is true. After all, kittens can be pretty damn cute. But other times, we hate cats. In a word? It's awkward.
