queer porn

Light, sweet, and crude: we’re not talking about oil, but the five queer women making a living being filthy.

Did you even know that such a thing existed? Because it totally does. And we should definitely adopt it here in the U.S.

In 2009, writer Sinclair Sexsmith devised an exhaustive list called Top Hot Butches, which catalogued some super sexy masculine women (most of them self-defined as lesbian, queer, genderqueer, or aggressive). While Sexsmith continues to update the list, we got to thinking about how — aside from Rachel Maddow, Wanda Sykes, and Ellen DeGeneres (wait, can a Cover Girl still be called butch?) — butchy gals of all persuasions still get the short shift even in lesbian media. So, we figured we’d profile 10 butch women you should have gotten to know more of in 2011.

We updated last year’s Top Hot Butches list to look at the women who’ve stirred our loins this year besides the usual butchy suspects like Rachel Maddow (who, of course, would top this list if you all voted), Wanda Sykes, and Ellen DeGeneres. Since butchy gals of all persuasions still get the short shift even in lesbian media we figured we’d profile 10 butch women you should have gotten to know more of in 2012.
