Anybody here watch "Orange Is the New Black?"

If so, can you explain to me what a "straight lesbian" is? Is it any different than being bisexual?

[annie24]

I think it means in a women's prison, that's your only option.

[ParisPaulette]

Lesbian is a woman who is only interested in other women in a romantic/sexual/seeking a partner way. Homosexual is a man who is only into men for romantic/sexual purposes. Bisexual applies to both men and women and it means they can take a romantic/sexual interest in both those of the same and opposite sex--i.e. a bisexual woman could fall for and/or have sex with both men and women.

[Unreasonable]

So, a "straight lesbian" is another word for a bi-sexual woman, that perhaps leans a little more towards men?

 

By the way, in the show, the lead character had a relationship with a lesbian, got engaged to a man several years later, then resumed the relationship with the woman again in prison as they were both busted for a previous crime they committed together (before you say that is far-fetched, it is loosely based on a true story).

I love this show, I don't recall hearing "straight lesbian" but I can only assume it's an offensive way to say that Piper is bisexual. Or actually even plain confused about her sexuality, that'd explain "straight lesbian" (lesbian pretending to be straight?).

ooo, I absolutely love this show as well and can't wait for season 2
