The first is "Lesbian Card": This is an official document to prove someone's membership in the Pink Mafia. Lesbian cards are issued upon at least two overt acts of lesbianosity. For example, a lesbian card would be issued to someone in the following instances:
-Purchase of a pride ring necklace and becoming vegetarian to fit in with the other dykes.
-Obtained a men's haircut and wore birkenstocks with a flannel shirt.
-Got a pet, sent a birth announcement (even if it is adopted), refer to it as their "kid" and dresses it in something with a rainbow on it.
-Meet a partner, become a couple and move in with a partner after less than one month of dating. Moving in counts if both parties are sleeping together 6 nights per week and one partner has left personal hygeine effects at the other's home.
There is no official agency that issues lesbian cards--as with most things in the dyke community, issuance is decided by consensus.
My second sniglet is related to the foregoing. It is "Revocation of Lesbian Card": This is an act performed by a person previously issued a Lesbian Card that is so offensive to traditional notions of lesbianosity that there is no other alternative but to revoke their privleges in the Pink Mafia. One would have a Lesbian Card revoked in the instance:
-One stands up someone for an Indigo Girls concert on such short notice that no replacement concert-goer can be found (that happened to me and I told her that her Lesbian Card was revoked).
-One wears real fur to a GLBT fund raising event at a zoo.
*Just so everyone is clear, a sniglet is a word that doesn't exist that should.
