Maybe it's because I grew up with my mom referring to my friends as my "girlfriends" but, if I had a PNM come through and comment about she and her girlfriend seeing a movie, or anything about her girlfriend, I would probably not think twice about it. I would probably think she meant her "best friend" or something.
To be honest, your sexuality shouldn't be the only thing that defines you. Good luck with recruitment and please keep an open mind.
