Bisexual actress Angelina Jolie is apparently the world's ultimate lesbian heroine. At least, that's what 2,600 lesbians voting at OnePoll.com seem to believe. Sure, Angelina is a humanitarian and fond of rescuing orphaned children around the globe and turning them into paparazzi targets - but the ultimate lesbian heroine?
Surely the women who voted could have gone with a more serious heroine to represent the lesbian community. How about lesbian rights pioneer Del Martin? Oh, yeah, she wasn't included on the poll. In fact, it seems from the entries on the poll, only celebrities in entertainment and sports qualify to be lesbian heroines.
Seriously, Lady Gaga? Not that I don't feel the love, but a lesbian heroine she is not. Nor is Sarah Jessica Parker or Scarlet Johansson. Martina Navratilova and author Germaine Greer at least have my respect. But Britney Spears? Are you kidding me? WTF?
Just because a woman is super hot, has bounced beds with a few girls and won't get married until gays can does not make her a 'lesbian heroine'.
For those who simply must know, here are the top twenty 'lesbian heroines' chosen by the voters at OnePoll.com.
1. Angelina Jolie
2. Madonna
3. Pink
4. Martina Navratilova
5. Ellen DeGeneres
6. Kylie Minogue
7. Lady Gaga
8. Annie Lennox
9. Beyonce
10. Germaine Greer
11. Liza Minnelli
12. Gwen Stefani
13. Cher
14. Janet Jackson
15. Tori Amos
16. Britney Spears
17. Cyndi Lauper
18. Scarlet Johansson
19. Sarah Jessica Parker
20. Dolly Parton
Next time someone out there does one of these ridiculous and pointless lists, hopefully they'll actually include criteria that requires the nominee be more than just someone lesbians like to fantasize about in the shower.
