Carol, Todd Haynes’s film about how an unexpected (and unaccepted) love drastically changes the lives of two women in the 1950s, is slowly expanding to more and more theaters across the US. That means more national advertising. But, in a Friday report by Page Six, it was revealed that one particular spot for the film…
On Saturday, at a Washington breakfast hosted by the Human Rights Campaign, Vice President Joe Biden and prospective President Hillary Clinton both gave impassioned speeches in support of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans—and our stalwart veep managed to squeeze in a rock solid republican diss, too.
In a clip from her upcoming album Same Sex Symbol, human treasure Cameron Esposito lays down some truths about her haircut, her vest, and what it means to be a lesbian. Turns out, the main component is LESBIANISM.
On Friday, the Independent published an interview with Angel Haze that featured some very strong quotes about media coverage of her relationship with Ireland Baldwin. In it, Haze is quoted as saying that she doesn't get why publications have referred to her and Baldwin as "best friends" instead of dating. "I have…
Cornetto has been doing a lot of filmmaking-as-advertising lately, by making long-form commercials that barely even show the product being shilled. The latest is called "40 Love," and features two winsome young ladies, with Lily Allen as a guest star.
Feast your eyes on a genuine relic from the late 20th century: "When You Meet a Lesbian: Hints for the Heterosexual Women." It is a handout from a women's studies class at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, circa 1988, and it is really something.

Ellen sits in front of a roaring fireplace in a mahogany living room, drinking whiskey from a cut crystal glass as Portia sleeps at her feet. So begins an "intense lesbian fanfiction" starring Ellen Degeneres, Portia di Rossi, Jodie Foster and a 21-year-old Midwesterner named Blaze.
Honestly, nothing would make me happier than Rihanna and Shakira having a hot and heavy lesbian relationship. In fact, I’d also be pretty happy about Rihanna and Shakira convincingly playing same-sex fuckbuddies in a music video.

Brought to you by the Gay Women Channel, this hilarious, terrifying spoof perfectly nails what's so goddamn annoying about those Axe body ads. Because when someone smells so good we just can't control ourselves, amirite ladies???
Like something straight out of a Virginia Woolf novel, two lesbian penguins have been living a secret life together in an Israeli zoo.
Man, watching this new short for Girl on Girl's Indiegogo Campaign brought me down. Even if this isn't what people are saying they personally believe, it's sad that this is how we think of lesbians culturally. The video was made to promote awareness of Girl on Girl, a film following the lives of lesbians who, even…
Since it won the Palme D’Or at Cannes this past May, Blue is the Warmest Color has been kicking up a dust cloud of controversy that has shifted recently from the film’s lengthy sex scene and NC-17 rating to allegations by the movie’s stars Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos that director Abdellatif Kechiche was…

In addition to promoting team building, life skill acquiring, and adorable little girls in adorable matching uniforms photo ops, the Girl Scouts of America have long had a much more insidious agenda: promoting lesbianism. At least, if you ask a right-wing pastor who went on an epic, hilariously whackadoodle rant…
Shakespeare With a Twist is happening everywhere right now; in New York on Broadway, Orlando Bloom and Condola Rashad star in an interracial version of Romeo and Juliet. And in Philadelphia, the Curio Theater is producing the same play — with two women in the title roles.
"They’ll go to those parties—have the lights down low—only those parties where women can go." This piece about lesbians in 1920s Harlem is a great read.
