10 Examples of Famous Lesbian Couples Being the Best at Hand Holding

Last week the Journal of Homosexuality determined that lesbians just plain hold hands better than other iterations of couples. Okay, so maybe that’s not entirely accurate. They didn’t say lesbians were the “best” but they did find that lesbians are the most egalitarian hand holders if you look at the position of whose hand is on top and when (which totally makes sense). 

Based on this research we decided we had to take a look at some famous lesbian hand holders to determine if in fact the study proved to be true. Full disclosure: we can’t really tell if lesbians are better at handholding, but we have determined that these famous couples (past and present) look great doing it!
