Lesbians


In North American lesbian popular culture, a joke referencing U-Haul (a brand of rental "move yourself" trucks and equipment) is well-known.

Q: What does a lesbian bring on a second date?
A: A U-Haul.

This joke suggests that lesbians move in together after only a short period of time. The reference to a "U-Haul" in the gay community has been considered one of the touchstones of sexual identity.

Mental health experts note that the "U-Haul joke" symbolizes the habits of lesbians to form intense emotional connection and the "urge to merge".
