"Amina often flirted with Brooks, neither of the men realizing the other was pretending to be a lesbian."

Not a combination of words one would expect to find in a coherent English sentence. It's also not a pitch for an edgy new sit-com coming out on the CBC this fall. But it is quoted within this Steynian gold:

On Sunday, Amina Arraf, the young vivacious Syrian lesbian activist whose inspiring blog "A Gay Girl In Damascus" had captured hearts around the world, was revealed to be, in humdrum reality, one Tom MacMaster, a 40-year-old college student from Georgia. The following day, Paula Brooks, the lesbian activist and founder of the website LezGetReal, was revealed to be one Bill Graber, a 58-year-old construction worker from Ohio. In their capacity as leading lesbians in the Sapphic blogosphere, "Miss Brooks" and "Miss Arraf" were colleagues. "Amina" had posted at LezGetReal before starting "A Gay Girl In Damascus." As one lesbian to another, they got along swimmingly.

The Washington Post reported: "Amina often flirted with Brooks, neither of the men realizing the other was pretending to be a lesbian."

Mrs. P simply can't resist weighing in. If not a CBC sit-com, surely a Hollywood chickflick about two middle aged guys pretending to be pretty young lesbians, carrying on a flirtatious relationship online until it all comes crashing down in ruin and despair. It could be titled  Brokeblog Mountain or You've Got Male.
