Lesbian Lolitas: High-School Girls Want to Be Gay-ish
by Deirdre Dolan NY Observer

Sophie and Anna were aware of one another—they were both sophomores at the same private school in Brooklyn—but had never actually met until a mutual friend invited them both to go snowboarding upstate at her country house last winter. They stayed up talking after everyone else went to sleep.

"We spent the whole entire night finding out how we were in love with the same books and music," said Sophie, who has long, dirty-blond hair and heavy-lidded eyes that are never completely open. "She was new and she was pretty and mysterious, with her dark hair—all the guys flocked to her."

The following Friday night, they went to Anna’s house, raided her parents’ liquor cabinet, and ended up walking up and down lower Broadway, talking to strangers and giggling. They were holding hands and hugging, and at one point, Anna was leaning up against a store window when Sophie put her arms around her neck and kissed her.

They hailed a cab to take them to a friend’s party in Brooklyn and made out the whole ride there (...)

Sophie said she’s sure she’ll always fool around with girls, even when she’s an adult, but that she has no interest in identifying herself as lesbian.

"I can pretty much assume that the girls who are gay in our school are very secretive about it," she said. "I know a girl in 10th grade who would never mention it to anyone—because they would believe her. I think for us, people just suspend their disbelief."

Anna and Sophie’s physical relationship ended last spring, around the time Sophie met a guy she wanted to be her boyfriend. Anna started dating a guy in her grade a few months later. But the two remain best friends. Read more
