The acronym on the URL stands for “Old Lesbians Organizing for Change.”

(You have to be over 60 to become a member.)

I'll give that URL to one of my roommates...

These two did just that for 69 years.

OK...no one will believe this coming from me but I have an old aunt aged 80 here in real Dixie (anything below or west of TN river in the South)

she has been in a lesbican relationship with same woman since the 50s....I kid you not

they are blue haired and knit macrame and make blankets for my kids and whatnot and are very socially conservative and quiet

they live with another ancient aunt of mine who is 85 and still cuts the grass down there in the summer with a push mower in the sun

i always knew it was different as a boy but was around 11 or so before I figgered it out

I and my 5 kids are about all they have left and we see them whenever we can but they are 6 hours away from Music City.

I love them and am ambivalent about their lifestyle but they have never been anything but warm to me and are not manhaters at all like many loud Timberland wearing types nor are they real dykey...but they are a hair masculine

very odd....most of the women in my mom's family were very pretty and tough....piney woods-red clay gals

i think the dad of these was mean, physically abusive and drunk...and one of the lesbicans has had polio since late 40s so who knows

anyhow....that's my story

I am not real open to male homosexuality but we did care for a dying AIDs man here who had no one to turn to

with men....it's just too neurotic and drama and self obsession

with women...some are so manlike or they are seeking refuge...

who knows....i can see queerness in a young boy pretty early...late toddler...they act all femme

born with or conditioned?

i can't say though I know some here swear they know

Nice meeting you. Read your page - only one thing with which I would take issue. I don't think we're all from Africa .....

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So, they never asked for your approval or made a big deal about it. No problem. You didn’t have to say you agreed with that lifestyle, but you treated them like you would a relative.

I know that you didn't do it for the praise but, in my estimation, you are much to be admired for that act of charity.

"I don’t understand why FReepers always treat homosexuals so badly."

Because they are sick, disgusting sexual deviants.

But there must be a lot of gay Freepers or FReepers with gay kids. Are you really going to disown them and shame them??

Yes.

If some of you consider it a sin, well, there are a LOT of sins and I have this feeling that there are no FReepers who are without any.

It is the Lord who considers it a grave sin, an abomination. And yes, I to consider it a sin because it IS a sin.

Just because other freepers may have sinned, does not excuse THAT sin. Unlike unrepentant sexual deviant homosexual sinners, they have probably repented their sin, and have gone forward and committed that sin no more.

I’m happy for these two and their anniversary.

Goodie for you. But they were not "married" therefore, it's not really an anniversary of anything but 70 years of unrepentant sinning.

That's going to take about 70 years of hail Marys to repent that one.

Most homosexuals are unrepentant sinners who mock G-ds words and his followers. These two are unrepentant sinners, and are worthy of contempt. 70 years of sin is NOTHING TO BE CELEBRATING.

Couple Celebrates 70 Years of Lesbian Love

That headline alone was enough to freeze the blood in my veins. My first thought was ... "Please, no pictures!".

A Helen Thomas foto-fest might be preferable.

I agree with you. As long as people dont push it in the faces of their fellow citizens.
Dont ask, dont tell..who cares.

But it is being pushed in our faces... In fact here it is, probably set to go viral... and to be read by kids who are still coming to grips with their sexuality (in a world gone mad).

What’s this obsession with keeping marriage and sex open to life? - one might ask.

The color of your pencils, the license plate of your car, every key of your keyboard, the sugar you put in your coffee, the songs you love and hate on the radio. (etc. etc. ad infinitum).

Look around you and it’s all connected to LIFE. Any ideology that lessens it, that even lowers it half a notch is extremely dangerous. One doesn’t need to be a persecuting fanatic. Fine, live and let live, but even “live and let live” is all about LIFE... and it’s really not the case to allow the embrace of oblivion to sneak in edgewise through sentimentality. 70 years doesn’t make anything better, right or noble. The Muslims have been slaughtering Christians for 1400 years! Communism in Russia lasted 70 years and they celebrated every year of it.

I say enough of this sentimentality to justify sin.

And it IS in our face... and it’s gonna be in the face of thousands of girls who are tempted... and how many of them will just throw their full human potential away on account of a thoughtless (irreligious) “ooh” and an “ahh”?

As a believer, I am always depressed by stories like this, because we’re encouraged to accept a shabby version of human love over against God’s (which includes, among other things, correction of error).

“I’m happy for these two and their anniversary.”

Keeping our noses the hell out of other peoples business is one thing, being happy for a couple of old deviants is another.

On another point; I don’t know these two, but deviance involves a lot of fixation and following. Rare indeed is the deviant who reserves herself to just one other person. Something that would shock most people out of their shoes is a peek into the minds, lives and practices of the sexual deviant, however, in this case, ‘homey-and-sweet-and-both-are-girls an article might try to make it.

I don’t care how old they are- it’s wrong, and it’s a sin
