(referring to her neice)"She is now fourteen years old and she still wants to sleep with me when she visits. We cuddle and talk and and talk and talk...(kid won't shut-up and go to sleep!) But does that make me a pervert or a lesbian? No way."

I take umbrage at the use of the word "lesbian" as thrown into this scenario. It suggests the lesbian-baiting stereotype of women "recruiting" younger females "into the lifestyle". Or it is used interchangeably with the word "pervert". What was the intention behind the use of this word here?
