Happy almost Halloween, lesbians! This is the time of year where all things horror and gore are celebrated. The freaks come out at night. The lights dim and the scary movies go on (only so we have an excuse to cuddle with our cute Tinder date). But what about the creepy things lurking outside of the screen IRL? There are lots of very real, scary things in this world like threats against a woman’s right to choose, hate crimes, and the ghost of Jenny Schecter, but this list will focus on the lighter side of the spooky spectrum. Here are 70 lez things that are way scarier than any horror movie.
Couples looking for a third on tinder
“MY BF can join or just watch.” Your BF looks like he smells like Fritos. I am terrified.
Lesbians who still live with their ex
“We’re still in the process of consciously uncoupling but I am fully ready to date.”
Splitting the bill
Horrifying.
Being asked if you and your partner are sisters
Politely declining an advance by a man that quickly turns into “you just haven’t had MY dick”
Getting your period at the same time as your girlfriend

The way Shane and Tess treated Carrie when she got drunk in “The L Word: Generation Q”
Really? You bitches are rude. Carrie was a wee bit tipsy and vulnerable and sad. Stop treating her like a leper. I would’ve gotten into bed with her, put on a Lifetime movie, ordered a pizza, and let her vent.
Accidentally liking your crush’s picture from a Tegan and Sara concert in 2001
When you make eye contact with your pet while f*cking or masturbating

Admitting that “Blue Is The Warmest Color” is your favorite movie and Jenny is your favorite “L Word” character (no idea how I found someone to marry me)

Knew it was too good to be true.
Well vodka
I can taste the hangover.
IBS
All hot queer girls have IBS. And yes, it’s scary.

Cutting the line expecting to be ‘on the list’ only to realize you aren’t
Changing in a public locker room and focusing so hard on the floor you almost fall down because you’re scared of being the ‘creepy’ lesbian
Saying d*ke as a reclamation but then all your straight friends start saying it but you don’t have the heart to be like umm don’t say that
