My initial WTF? reaction was replaced by appreciation once I trad the article. The writer raises some good points:

Lesbians Touch Penis, Get Erased Yet Again

"There is a video bouncing around the queer Internet today of a handful of self-identified lesbians grasping a handful (or so) of a gay man's penis.

The point of the segment is, I think, to take part in the current viral video vogue for “Watch Certain Group Do Thing Not Normally Associated With Said Group”.
The video participants have good intentions: cross-cultural curiosity, appreciation for the range of human form, two minutes or so of YouTube silliness.
- On this, the ladies and I agree. But I do have qualms about how this video is functioning among viewers. The headlines…
It seems off-message to yet again define lesbians in relation to penis rather than on their own terms.

Lesbianism is not a charmingly peculiar lack of interest in or fear of male sex organs; indeed, being lesbian isn’t about men at all! It’s an affirmative, legitimate-on-its-own attraction to women and women-built social worlds and political philosophies apart from men.
- And of course, it’s the wider culture’s profound inability to believe that lesbians do not want to touch penis that has led to hostility against - if not a willful ignorance of - lesbians over the years."

That's the strange thing about these threads.
The bigotted thingies come up from time to time and they are off-putting,
yet the rest of them are either hillarious, or come up with such interesting things…

Why are nice people so bloody boring and assholes so interesting and entertaining?

Naaaah. Its a political adaption like atheist, vegan, Baptist, liberal. Maybe fetish.
