“Am I A Lesbian?”

Is it possible to be a lesbian only part-time? Tyra speaks with women who say, “Yes,” and others who think that women who kiss each other just for fun, or to turn guys on, is an insult to those who have fought for gay rights. Plus, a woman who thinks she might be a lesbian lets the “Tyra Show” cameras follow her as she goes on a date with a woman for the first time! Another young woman wants her mother to accept her lifestyle choice and her girlfriend of three years. And, Lauren Blitzer, the author of “Same Sex in the City,” explains the concept of “part-time lesbianism.”
