fried green tomatoes

We heard about this great book, One More Stop by Lois Walden, and thought we would share a synopsis and short excerpt with our readers! In a sometimes raunchy, always entertaining book that is a cross between Fried Green Tomatoes and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a woman finally figures out how to boldly navigate her own untidy life. 

Project Runway Season 10 had a host of colorful characters among the cast, few as interesting off screen as lesbian designer Alicia Hardesty. A Kentucky girl with fierce dreads who still loves fried green tomatoes and anything her mammaw cooks, Hardesty moved to Los Angeles with her girlfriend, actress Lauren King, in hopes of taking her own clothing line, the Kickstarter-funded Original Tomboy, to the next level.

Finally! A zombie horror action comedy thriller complete with lesbian undertones and Megan Fox as a malicious -- man-murdering hottie! The trailer for Diablo Cody's Jennifer's Body looks hot, campy, oddly feminist and fun but the real question is, will Megan Fox enter into a lesbian dalliance with Amanda Seyfreid?

Wouldn’t classic movies like A League of Their Own, Dangerous Liaisons and Thelma and Louise have been infinitely more satisfying if there were just one lesbian character among them? With our post from earlier this year, 10 TV Shows We Can’t Believe Don’t Have Gay Characters, as a springboard, we’ve reimagined 15 now classic movies using Gina Gershon’s super-smoldering Corky from Bound as the gold standard of cinematic lesbian characters.

From the usual suspects like Angelina Jolie to the more heady crushes like Catherine Deneuve to the just plain odd -- we've compiled a list of famous faces that sparked pre- and post-pubescent, lusty girl-crushes.

Rather than recapping our usual favorite lesbian-themed films like The Incredible Story of Two Girlsin Love, Kissing Jessica Stein, and Desert Hearts, I thought I’d take a moment to pay tribute to those great films with more subtle lesbian undertones that are sometimes overlooked.

From Riot Grrrls to Lilith, the '90s were heady times for queer girls.

These days you can’t swing a cat on television without hitting a scattered LGBT character or two on just about any given night. Sundays give us The Good Wife’s bisexual Kalinda while Revenge has bisexual Nolan and Shameless has a gay son. Modern Family and The New Normal offer up gay dads while freshman series Go On and Chicago Fire feature full-on lesbian characters in those ensembles. And of course, there are tried-and-true, beloved lesbian and gay characters on Glee, Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars.

Palm Beach, Florida has a long tradition as a magnet of wealthy scions, celebrities, and politicians, offering, as the Palm Beach County slogan puts it, "The Best of Everything," including gorgeous beaches, top-notch boutiques, immaculate streets, sprawling mansions and beautiful people. And it's lesbian and gay friendly too!

The episode of Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva many LGBT fans of been waiting for airs this Sunday, July 24 at 9 PM. Inspired by the real life events surrounding high schooler and lesbian Constance McMillen being barred from attending prom with her girlfriend. Wanda Sykes will appear in episode five as Judge Yvonne Wright, who presides over a case inspired by Mississippi high school senior Constance McMillen, who was denied access to her prom because she wanted to attend with her girlfriend.

When Tamara Braun's latest Daytime alter-ego Reese Williams landed in All My Children's Pine Valley last October as suitor to diva Erica Kane's lesbian daughter Bianca, the air was rife with possibility. A gracious Braun chatted with SheWired for a second time, weighing in on the Academy Awards, Prop. 8, Reese's boozing and impending blindness, her chagrin that there weren't more love scenes between Reese and Bianca and her favorite curse word (s).

On the upside, those fun-loving lesbian gals of WeHo on The Real L Word all managed to keep from flashing their collective vags to anyone watching Showtime this week, and on the downside, well, they all kept their clothes on. The Real L Word sex scenes are schadenfreude at best, so it’s a little sad when an episode arrives sans sex. What are Whitney, Sara, Claire, Sajdah, Cori and Kacy, Romi and Kelsey up to this week?

According to one study, a third of these tomboy TV and movie female characters will grow up to be lesbians. Our favorite tomboys of TV and film include: Sara Gilbert as Darlene Conner, Clea DuVall as Graham, Mary Stuart Masterson as Watts, Angelina Jolie as Legs Sadovsky and Jenny Shimizu as Goldie Goldman, Suzi Quatro as Leather Tuscadero, Felicia Snoop Pearson as Snoop, Amanda Bynes as Viola, Lori Petty as Kit Keller, Jodie Foster as Annabel Andrews, Michelle Rodriguez as Diana Guzman, Susan Oakes as Anybodys, Christina Ricci as Roberta, Schuyler Fisk as Kristy Thomas, Tatum O’Neal as Amanda Whurlitzer and lots more!
