While I did enjoy the article by White and Boehmer (2012) in the March issue, I did have a hard time accepting the author's definition of sexual minority women. When I first saw the title, I immediately thought of minority women, thinking race or ethnicity. I just don't think that this title is appropriate. I have discussed this with some of my colleagues and I guess we are having a problem with the term (I don't want to use the word label).
