Talking About Young Lesbians

Product Information

I'm not about to put Kissing Jessica Stein in this category, because it's too weak of a queer film to be even considered. There's also Mulholland Drive, which had some very brief hot queer moments relative to its era (2001). Heavenly Creatures (1994) served the queer goth community particularly well. Sadly, that community is relatively small.

Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) and Alex Kelly ( Olivia Wilde). Alex leaves the series four episodes later. As am I. Representation always matters, whether it's in the Halls of Congress or at your local independent theater. Queer women deserve to have their queer female sex represented on screen, without it devolving into typical pornographic tropes: shaved vaginas, sorority sisters, giant jiggly boobs, foot-long dildos, scissoring, a well-hung neighbor guy who just "pops in" for a threesome, etc. There's absolutely nothing wrong with any of these erotic ingredients, per se, but it's formulaic and not particularly representational of most queer sex. Ally McBeal and Ling Woo ( Lucy Liu). These episodes are unusual in that all of the women involved are series regulars. Vanessa Abrams ( Jessica Szohr) and Olivia Burke ( Hilary Duff). The two kiss as part of a threesome with Dan Humphrey ( Penn Badgley). Duff's character was a recurring role.Tropiano, Stephen (May 28, 2003). "When a kiss is not just a kiss". PopMatters. The Prime Time Closet (column). Archived from the original on May 25, 2011 . Retrieved October 31, 2008. Rhonda ( Lisa Edelstein) and Suzanne ( Kristin Dattilo). [8] Dattilo's character only appeared in episode. The series was cancelled four episodes later. This seems like it shouldn't be a victory. And yet, the list of movies who've accomplished the same feat is painfully abbreviated. Don't talk to me about Blue is the Warmest Color, a movie made famous for its extended, impractical sex scenes and allegations of harassment by its director, Abdellatif Kechiche. Kechiche reportedly bullied the two female protagonists as well as his staff, forcing them to work 16-hour workdays under extreme pressure. Critics further accused the director of creating "voyeuristic" sex scenes intended to solicit the male gaze. Lucy Spiller ( Courteney Cox) and Tina Harrod ( Jennifer Aniston). [11] The episode hints at a former intimate relationship between the two. Tina never reappears on the series. Eminently visual; cheap, provided the actors are willing; controversial, year in and year out; and elegantly reversible (sweeps lesbians typically vanish or go straight when the week's over), kisses between women are perfect sweeps stunts. They offer something for everyone, from advocacy groups looking for role models to indignation-seeking conservatives, from goggle-eyed male viewers to progressive female ones, from tyrants who demand psychological complexity to plot buffs.

Billie Chambers ( Tiffani Thiessen) and Sara Matthews ( Jaime Pressly). Sara never reappears on the series.Lily Aldrin ( Alyson Hannigan) and Robin Scherbatsky ( Cobie Smulders). Robin kisses Lily to give Lily the "lesbian experience" she never had. Both are series regulars.
