A Major Glee and Pretty Little Liars Blog (Spoiler Alert After Jump)

Two of my favorite shows right now are Glee and Pretty Little Liars.  Why are they my favorites? Well, there are several different reasons, but this week's episodes for both shows just gave me even more reason to love them.  Both shows had amazing episodes this week that had to deal with the teenage lesbian storylines.  If you missed either episode, you might not want to read on, there's gonna be some major spoilage in this blog.

I watch a lot of TV, probably too much, and I'll admit, there are many shows that I never watched until they had any kind of lesbian storyline, for example, Grey's Anatomy. I had no interest in that show until after Callie and Erica's first kiss, since then I've been hooked.  The last time I watched a show with as good teenage lesbian storyline was the Jesse and Katie storyline on Once and Again (while I loved South of Nowhere, I did not like how the storyline was treated throughout, so I'm not counting it).

Now for the spoilers.

First Kiss

So, one of my friends has been bored lately and has filled out several of those surveys as notes on Facebook.

One of them actually proved useful to me, although, it was more her joke answer than anything else that got me thinking about a blog topic, but still.

So, without furthur ado, who portrayed your favorite first kiss?






(alright, so, this vid doesn't just show their first kiss, but searched for like, an hour looking for their first kiss. could not find just that scene)


(second kiss is hotter, but still and don't you just love how Sara Ramirez doesn't mind not being the prettiest, girliest girl on the cast)





Let me know what's your fave and if I missed some, let me know! I know there are some I misssed, such as various L Word kisses, Willow/Tara, Weaver/Kim, Weaver/Sandy, but I searched and searched and searched for clips of those kisses, but could not find any (and for TLW, I just didn't want to post a shitload of first kisses from that one show).

And just because I find this video HILARIOUS:

Fave TV Lesbian

So, I was on AfterEllen today and saw their list of TV's Hottest Lesbian/Bi doctors ... and DAYUM (come on, Olivia Wilde and Sara Ramirez as the top 2? Well, DUH!)

Of course, as always happens, it is impossible to include all the hot lesbian/bi doctors on the list, although, including Jorja Fox from her ER days was a pleasant surprise, but they skipped Elizabeth Mitchell's Kim, the psych doc that was Weaver's first girlfriend.

Who is your favorite lesbian/bi doctor on television?

Here are just a few of mine:

Olivia Wilde - 13 (House)


Sara Ramirez - Callie Torres (Grey's Anatomy)


Jorja Fox - Maggie Doyle (ER)


Elizabeth Mitchell - Kim Legaspi (ER)

Sorry everyone ...

I know, I know, its kinda late, but, it is still Thursday.

There probably won't be another Big Brother update on here until the finale, because, well, everyone I like is gone. Angie is gone, Jesse is gone, April is gone, now Michelle AND Ollie have been voted out. Michelle was backdoored by the now lying Dan. Too bad too, I really wanted Dan to win before the crap he pulled this week. At least the showmance of Ollie and April will be back together, and we don't have to watch it. :0) Although, I bet they show something about the two of them on Sunday.

I'll try my hardest to get the next fave lesbian couples blog tomorrow.

Wednesday Hottie

Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay, but I could not decide on this week's Wednesday Hottie until my best friend called me and gave me some amazing news.

She was supposed to interview the beautiful, wonderful, and multi-talented, Leisha Hailey tonight (but unfortunately got postponed since Leisha was still fliming).

Everyone who knows of her, seems to love Leisha Hailey. She does everything, she acts, sings, writes songs, and is apparently very grateful and nice to her friends. Most of you probably only know her from The L Word, but Leisha has also been in episodes of Ellen (she was an extra in the infamous coming out episode), Boy Meets World (a guitar playing optimist turned emo when Eric broke her heart to optimist again), Grey's Anatomy (an outdoorswoman who suffers from the flesh eating disease), and CSI. You are probably saying to yourself, Leisha was never in CSI, but she was. It was just kind of hard to recognize her. Leisha's first major role was in All Over Me. Leisha is also in a long running series of Yoplait commercials in which her and at least one other women compare Yoplait yogurt, to other things they consider good.

Leisha was born on July 11, 1971 in Okinawa, Japan. She grew up in Bellevue, Nebraska, attending Bellevue West High School where she played the leading male role of "Oliver" in her school play. She is a 5'6", a vegetarian and is currently datinig fashion designer and owner of Free City, Nina Garduno.

Leisha came out as a lesbian when she was a teenager and moved to New York City where she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1991. She formed the rock duo The Murmurs (changed to Gush in 2001) with her former classmate at the academy Heather Grody. They released 3 albums, as well as performing on several movie soundtracks and touring with Lilith Fair. Their biggest album, Blender, included songs produced by k.d. lang, Leisha's significant other for several years. She was also the inspiration for lang's album, Invincible Summer. Leisha left Gush for several years due to her busy acting schedule. They did however release one self-titled album which was only sold at gigs.

She made her television series debut on Showtime's The L Word in 2004 as Alice Pieszecki; a sharp-witted, bisexual magazine writer. Since then The L Word has received multiple awards and critical praise. Leisha herself was chosen as one of Denton Record Chronicle's "Top 10 Ladies Who Made 2004 Memorable."

In 2005, Leisha founded Marfa Records. Leisha is now in a new band, Uh Huh Her, where she is a singer and guitarist, together with Camila Grey (producer, vocals, synth, bass). They released an EP entitled I See Red on July 24, 2007. They also released their first full length album Common Reaction, on August 19, 2008 with Nettwerk Records / Live Nation.

In 2007, Hailey was named the sexiest woman in the AfterEllen Hot 100 list compiled by AfterEllen.com. She responded to topping the list with:

Wow, I don't even know what to say. I hope Angelina's not mad at me. I have to say this really makes up for the time I was on the Homecoming Court in high school with my boyfriend (yes I had one) and he won and I didn't. So thanks to everyone. I'll try and keep up my hotness.

On April 28, 2008, Hailey was named Olivia Cruises' new spokesperson.

While researching Leisha for this blog, I learned some things I had never known before. Accoring to wikipedia, she was a big soccer player, and the article even included a quote.

"I was a soccer star… I was a goalscorer, but then I busted my knee out and my whole career ended."

There are so many reasons to love Leisha Hailey. As I have mentioned before, she's beautiful and talented. I know a couple people who have met her, and they have said she was one of the nicest people they have ever met. Hell, how often to stars do phone interviews with people they met at a conert who then start a fanblog?

Leisha's character, Alice, is probably one the of realest characters from TLW. She plays her so well, its hard to remember that Alice, is not real. You just want to fight for her. You want her to see some kind of happiness. I love that she has fun with her character. She'd make a pretty good writer too. She is known for ad-libbing on a couple occasions, one of which made the following scene, hilarious.



For those of you who are still wondering when the hell Leisha was on CSI, here's her scene:


The same person who posted this video, has also posted a video of Leisha's transformation for the part.

Coming back again ... hopefully

So, soon all the new shows will premiere, and all our old faves will return. It's that time of the year again. My good friend Kat gave me the idea of doing a recap of sort of my favorite lesbian couples from last season. I then decided to stretch it out a couple days and do more than just last season, but those will start coming on Thursday. Now, here are my top favorite lesbian couples from last season.


Looking at old posts, I'm sure you all can guess one of my faves. While Callie and Erica didn't officially become a couple at all last season, the last several episodes hinted at it coming. So, without further ado, here's the kiss between Callie and Erica on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy.



Callie has been on the show since the middle of season one, when all of a sudden she was everywhere. She quickly became on of the main characters as she developed a relationship with one of the interns, George. Erica made a couple cameos early on but did not become a regular until after Preston Burke left (I'm sure many of you remember the whole Isiah Washington calling T.R. Knight a fag). These two characters became friends and Callie and George broke up after George had an affair with Izzy. Callie never even considered Erica has more than a friend until Addison came back for one episode and said something to her. Callie than started sleeping with McSteamy, and well, the rest you saw in the video.


There weren't that many lesbian couples on network television last season (if any other than Callica). So, we're moving on to cable. There were several different couples on The L Word, as there usually are, and its actually kind of hard for me to choose just one. Bette and Tina got back together, although, unlike a lot of people, I loved Bette and Jodi. Jenny seemed to have a good relationship until the end, even Shane had a good thing going for her, until Molly's mom decided to mess with Shane's head (btw, what is it with Shane and art shows? She keeps getting her heart broken at them). I, this time like a lot of people, LOVED Alice and Tasha. Alice has always been one of my faves (became my fave after Dana died) and it was good to see her happy. PS, I am trying to keep this clean, so you'll have to go to youtube to see more provocative scenes. This video does have several parts to it.



Alice and Tasha's relationship began during the fourth season. Tasha, a solider in the Army Reserves, was a friend of Papi's. The two met and sparks flew. In the fifth season, Tasha is kicked out of the army for being gay. At first she was fighting the system, but after seeing Alice get grilled, decided the Army was not worth hiding her life. As the fifth season ended, it looked as though Alice was contemplating having an affair.


The third couple is Spashley or for those of you who have no clue what that means, Spencer and Ashley from South of Nowhere. In season 3A, Spencer and Ashley's relationship was pretty rocky, but at the end, it seemed like things were getting good again. Spashley is probably one of the youngest lesbian couples on television, both girls were in high school when they started dating.

Warning, this video contains some scenes from Season 3B, which has not aired in the US yet. The "spoiler" scenes are clearly marked.


Spencer and Ashley started out as just friends in Season one, but by the end of the season, they were falling in bed together (literally). Season two opened up the morning after one ended, and hinted that the two had sex. One of the most emotional episodes of SoN happened during season two, when Spencer's mother, Paula, walked in on Spencer and Ashley about to have sex. The rest of the season seemed to focus more on Paula's refusal to accept Spencer and Ashley. While Spencer and Ashley went to prom together, at the end it did not look like they were survive as a couple much longer. Season three opened, Spencer's brother was dead, Aiden had been shot, and Ashley was leaving LA. When she came back, Spashley as over and Ashley was dating Aiden. Spencer ended up dating another girl, Carmen, but netiher of those relationships lasted through the first half of season 3. 3A ended with Spencer, standing naked in Ashley's door.


So, while these were my fave lesbian couples from last season, there weren't many others. Like I said, I only wanted to include one from The L Word, so there's a few couples left out, but there just weren't that many on television. If you remember more, please, comment and let me know.

Possible Correction: There May Be Another Gay Guy

Do any of you read DListed (the few readers that I have)? If you do, you may have seen a small post about Jessie from Big Brother 10.

Is Big Brother's Jessie A Major Homo? Some of the smaller pictures may be NSFW.

After reading this, I thought, it all makes sense. Why else would he be a body builder? Since he's hiding it, he just might feel ashamed and thought, hey, if i'm a big tough strong guy, no one would think otherwise. Now, I'm not saying he should ome out on national television. I'm also not saying that he is gay, just that, if he is, it would make sense, and would be an awesome twist.

Real World: Las Vegas: There wasn't a gay cast members, but apparently a couple of them had a threesome. That's the most interesting thing that happened.

Real World: Paris: One gay member and some other interesting people.

Simon Sherry-Wood, a native of Ireland, Simon lives at home and goes to high school in a small village about an hour outside Dublin. His family's acceptance of his homosexuality has allowed Simon to live an open life, and he has enjoyed the gay scene in Dublin since he was 16. Simon met his Spanish boyfriend on New Year's Eve, a few weeks before moving to Paris. Aware of the temptations of Paris nightlife, Simon plans to stay faithful. A working model with a flair for fashion, he intends to go to college, but has yet to apply to schools because he's unsure about his career goals.

Leah Gillingwater is single and a graduate of the University of Maryland, who aspires to a career in fashion, and enjoys partying, shopping and expensive name brands. She is often the center of attention. Known to be pugnacious, she ends up in fights with most of her roommates. Leah has a cancer scare though, which brings her close to Mallory and the rest of her roommates.

Real World: San Diego: There were no gay cast members this season, but there was some controversy. The cast's residence is a custom-designed, two-story house at 4922 North Harbor Drive in San Diego.

Frankie Abernathy is a certified masseuse and aspiring artist with a number of piercings, and a fondness for punk rock music and Hello Kitty. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She is a student of spiritual healing who paid for her education by working in a porn shop. Frankie has a phobia of boats, which made the group assignment difficult for her. She leaves the house early, due to conflict with her housemates, and homesickness. Abernathy lost her battle with cystic fibrosis on June 9, 2007 at the age of 25.

A 22-year-old woman claimed she was raped in the Real World house sometime during the night of November 14, 2003 by an acquaintance of Real World cast member Randy Barry, identified in local reports as "Justin", who was staying at the house as a guest.

Real World: Philadelphia: The Philadelphia season is the first with two openly gay men, Karamo Brown and William Hernandez, in the cast. (The first season to have two gay cast members, regardless of sex, was the 2002 Chicago season, although the 1999 Hawaii season featured a bisexual woman and a gay man.) This was the first season to feature an openly gay black male.

Born November 2, 1980, Karamo is an African-American gay man from Houston, who donates much of his time to charities and political causes, which he says are his passion. He is very close to his mother and three older sisters. His upbringing included strong anti-white prejudices and has related feelings about interracial dating. He attended Florida A&M University, where he majored in Business Administration.

Born November 20, 1979, Willie is a gay Puerto Rican American writer/actor with a passion for the arts and performing who works part-time as a personal shopper. His religious parents don't accept his lifestyle, which drove him from home when he was 15. He and his straight twin brother are the oldest of six children who all remain close. He admits to being stubborn and confrontational. As a child, he worked in commercials and musical theater and was a regular on the children's television show Ghostwriter (side note: I LOVED that show!), which promoted literacy for children.

Real World: Austin: The Real World: Austin won "Favorite Season" at the 2008 The Real World Awards Bash.

Real World: Key West: The season was filmed during the busiest Atlantic hurricane season ever; filming was scheduled to start the week Hurricane Katrina made landfall but was delayed as several castmembers were stuck in Miami. Later in the season Hurricanes Rita and Wilma made landfall forcing the cast to evacuate to West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, respectively. During Hurricane Wilma, the cast was forced to evacuate again, this time to Orlando after the Ft. Lauderdale-area hotel they sought shelter in was damaged by the storm.

Tyler Duckworth, a gay gymnastics and figure skating enthusiast describes himself as "manipulative" and "mischievous". He was at one time on track to becoming a world-class swimming champion. He was devastated when a freak accident shattered his Olympic dreams. Although doctors told him he might never walk again, he proved them wrong. A recent graduate of Tufts University, he must decide what to do with his life.

Real World: Denver: The Denver cast worked for Outward Bound. They were trained on wilderness courses and later guided New Orleans teenagers displaced by Hurricane Katrina in hiking treks.

Born August 10, 1983, Davis Mallory as a typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed frat boy. Davis is a southern conservative Christian, and gay, something he first realized in the sixth grade, though his family was not pleased with his coming out. Being on The Real World represents a major change in his life, as he has long been afraid to show his true self to the world.

Born December 30, 1983, Stephen Nichols is a deeply religious African-American, conservative Republican student at Howard University. He is very ambitious, and outspoken in his views, including his stance against gay marriage.

Real World: Sydney: Cast members were first photographed and identified by the media while participating in a Contiki tour at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park.

Nothing else was really interesting. No gay members.

Real World: Hollywood: MTV aired The Sunny Side of Truth encore special, which features pop-up comments from characters from the Sunny Side of Truth, an anti-tobacco organization. Because a recurring theme of this season involves cast members talking about their struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, the comments often have a drug-abstinence message.




And does anyone remember that game, Heads Down Seven Up? I find it hilarious that the houseguests on Big Brother play that fairly often. They also play porno password and some other clapping, rhythm game. Oh, and chess. Yea, they get bored a lot. They also had a slip 'n slide at one point.

No More Gays on Big Brother

So the gay rodeo champion from Texas, Steven, got evicted this evening. Steven was the token gay guy.

I was thinking, it seems like all the reality shows have a token gay person. MTV's Real World always had at least one gay (with only one or two expections).

Real World: New York - The first season, as far as I can tell from Wiki, did not have any gay housemates, but it didn't seem to follow what became the typical format for the all the seasons I actually watched.

The Real World: Los Angeles - Ah, the first gay cast member, Beth A., actually a replacement for a cast member that got married. She initially got along with all her housemates, her status as a lesbian caused another housemate, Tami, to ponder her own biases, and she came into conflict with Tami on the Mexico trip.

The Real World: San Francisco - Pedro Zamora was a Cuban-born American AIDS educator. A native of Havana, Cuba, he came to the United States during the Mariel Boat Lift. An honors student whose mother died from skin cancer when he was 13, Pedro had wanted to become a doctor, but after discovering he was HIV positive in November 1989, decided to finish high school and become an educator instead. In the premiere, Pedro informs the housemates, by showing them his scrapbook of his career as an AIDS educator, that he has AIDS. Pedro's roommate Puck made derogatory remarks about his life as an educator. Pedro distanced himself from Puck. Pedro confided to his friend Alex that he feared the stress caused by his conflicts with Puck were causing his health to further deteriorate.

He then announced that he would move out if Puck did not. Puck was voted out, and Pedro remained. Pedro was also shown falling in love with Sean Sasser, and they exchanged wedding vows on the show. During his last days, he received a phone call from President Bill Clinton thanking him for his work. Pedro died on November 11, 1994, mere hours after the final episode of his season of The Real World aired. He was 22.

The Real World: London - According to Wiki, London was a boring season. There's not really much to say about it.

Real World: Miami - Dan Renzi is an openly gay student at Rutgers University and starts a modeling career with Irene Marie Models while in Miami. He dates several men and his parents come to visit. His mother is accepting of his homosexuality but his dad and brothers choose to ignore it. When the show ends, Dan is offered a modeling job in Italy and has to say goodbye to his new boyfriend. It was later revealed that Dan's mother learned he was gay by reading a letter sent to him.

Real World: Boston - Boston was my favorite seasons of all the seasons I watched. I'm not sure why exactly, but it was.

Genesis Moss is a lipstick lesbian and has had a troubled past and says during her childhood she sometimes lacked basics like food. She has a long-distance lover. She becomes friends with a gay drag queen named Adam and spends a lot of time dancing/partying at a gay club. After a child at the daycare center says that she hates gay people, Genesis overhears this, and Kameelah telling the girl that homophobia and bigotry are not acceptable, and is brought to tears.

Elka Walker was not gay, but she was my favorite housemate in Boston. She is a Mexican-American who comes from a well-to-do background with conservative values. She says in the casting special that she doesn't know many gay or lesbian people and wasn't sure how she would feel if one of the roommates was gay. Before she leaves for Boston Elka's father requires her to sign a contract saying she will not smoke, do drugs or have premarital sex while in Boston. She gets her eyebrow pierced against her father's wishes and she finally stands up for herself against his controlling ways in a tear-filled phone conversation later in the season. Her boyfriend Walter visits from Ireland. Elka insists she is a virgin and will stay that way until marriage.

The Real World: Seattle - Ah, the season with the slap heard around the world. Also, the first season to include two cast members that knew each other previously. The opening was changed to say "seven people" instead of the usual "seven strangers."

Stephen Williams was not portrayed as gay on the show. He is an African-American, whose initial warmth and friendship with Irene sours dramatically as the season progresses. Sensing that Irene is planning to avenge their arguments by embarrassing him in some way, he hides her much treasured cuddly toy - and denies knowledge of its whereabouts when she searches for it while moving out. As a parting-shot while leaving, Irene purposefully calls Stephen aside and laughingly calls him a homosexual in front of the cameras. By way of response, Stephen reveals that he has the toy and taunts her by holding it over the pier, then throwing it into the water. He then approaches her as she is being driven away, opens the car door, and slaps her. After some tense deliberation, the housemates agree that they want Stephen to stay. Stephen is ordered to attend a series of anger management classes, which he completes successfully. Stephen was subsequently arrested on charges of homosexual solicitation in 2001. On the Real World Awards, Stephen states that he is happily engaged to his partner Sheldon.

The Real World: Hawaii - The first season with more than one cast member who was not straight.

Justin Deabler is an openly gay student at Harvard Law School and a self-described child prodigy. He does not develop a rapport with the others. He takes exception to Teck directly asking him if he's gay in the first episode He refers to Kaia as "ineffectual" and says that "Teck's schtick is so tired it's comatose." He tries to sabotage Amaya and Colin's relationship during the India vacation, but after the trip, he leaves the house, leaving partly due to his frustration with the other housemates, but citing as his primary reason a family emergency at home.

Ruthie Alcaide is a bisexual Filipina college student at Rutgers University. She has a penchant for over drinking, which often results in her passing out at bars, and inappropriate behavior like giving a table dance for her boss' wife. During another binge at the house, she takes a drinking glass and throws it, shattering it. During the first episode, she loses consciousness, and her house mates call the paramedics. Her housemates, along with Ruthie's two sisters, explore the possibility of sending her to a rehab center, but cannot do so without her consent. After Ruthie drives home from a bar intoxicated, her housemates have a meeting with her and tell her she must go to rehab or be evicted from the house. Ruthie feels betrayed, but goes to rehab, eventually returning when her stint is completed.

The Real World: New Orleans - The most memorable thing about this season was the blurring out of Danny Robert's boyfriend's face.

Danny is a gay man who, during his stay in the house, was in a relationship with Paul Dill, a serviceman in the military. To protect Paul's identity during his visits, his face was blurred each time he appeared on camera. After his time in the military ended, Paul and Danny appeared together in an MTV special, with Paul's face no longer blurred.

The Real World: Back to New York - Nothing worth noting from Wiki.

The Real World: Chicago - This season had two gay housemates and dealt with the events and aftermath of the Sept 11 attacks.

Aneesa Ferreira comes from an interracial relationship - her mother is Jewish-American, and her father is West Indian. Aneesa is a very liberal lesbian who does not mind walking around nude, or even showering with a male roommate, much to the dislike of small-town girl Tonya. She has a quick temper but also is very funny and caring. Throughout the season, Aneesa clashes frequently with Tonya and argues with her mother by phone frequently, mainly because of her mother's lack of acceptance of her sexual orientation. She enters a brief relationship with a woman named Veronica, but Veronica's history with her ex gets in the way of getting close to Aneesa. Aneesa then finds romance with Danielle, who, while often overbearing and bossy, allowed Aneesa happiness during her months in Chicago. In the house, Aneesa shares a room with Theo.

Chris Beckman is an artist and is openly gay. He has struggled in the past with alcoholism but takes up a job as a bartender during the show, much to the bewilderment of Kyle, who wonders what this does to Chris's recovery. Chris maintains his body by working out a lot, but some of the roommates see his exercise to be on the obsessive side - and maybe compensating for something else. While in Chicago, Chris enters a relationship with a man named Kurt, with whom he seems compatible. However, Chris ends the romance because he wants to focus on his recovery instead of a serious relationship. Chris's relationships with men do make the other male roommates a bit uncomfortable. Chris also does modeling during the season, and asks Kyle to join him. Chris shares a room with Kyle and Keri.

The cast is shown as they learn of the September 11th attacks, however the series was criticized for staging this, as the cast was actually at Wrigley Field for a photo shoot when they learned of the event.



Come back later for a break down of the rest of the gay members of the many seasons of MTV's Real World.

Witchy Wednesday

How many of you knew right away that Willow and Tara were going to end up together?
How many of you rejoiced when the two of them were finally shown kissing after Buffy's mother died?


How many of you were pissed and/or cried when shots rang out and Tara was gone?


I raised my hand for every single one of those questions.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was one of the first shows I was ever obsessed with, and boy was I obsessed. My walls were covered in pictures from magazines, posters, and postcards. My bookshelf was filled with every single BtVS book there was (even now I am not missing many). I had the VHS box sets, I videotaped episodes so I could watch them over and over again. I pre-ordered the first season on DVD and bought all but one of the seasons as soon as it came out (my parents bought one for Christmas). I have three soundtracks, I have the original (kinda crappy) movie. I have some of the old comic books (and would still kill for the new ones).

BtVS was the first show in which I saw a happy lesbian couple, close to my age, that I could actually relate to. Neither Willow nor Tara were the prettiest or the most popular. Willow was a geek and Tara just seemed shy, kind of an outcast, even within the affectionately named "Scooby Gang", Tara was kind of an outcast until after Buffy died.

Tara and Willow were meant for each other though, no doubt about it. I mean, Willow went all dark and veiny after Tara was shot.


Even when the two of them broke up, due to Willow's excessive magic us and erasing Tara's memory (as well as everyone else's, have to admit, HILARIOUS episode), they got back together.

Tara: Things fall apart. They fall apart so hard.
Willow: Tara?
Tara: You can't ever put 'em back the way they were.
Willow: Are you okay?
Tara: I'm sorry, it's just... You know, it takes time. You can't just have coffee and expect...
Willow: I know.
Tara: There's just so much to work through. Trust has to be built again on both sides. You have to learn if - if we're even the same people we were. If you can fit in each others lives. It's a long and important process, and can we just skip it? C-Can you just be kissing me now?

These two showed that a relationship, even a lesbian couple, can survive the ups and downs (not counting the last down). Yes, they were fictional characters created by the genius that is Joss Whedon, but they had real problems and went through real-life situations. They showed me that love can really happen, that souls mates just may actually exist.

Willow and Tara restored my faith in the power of love.



Also, new poll at bottom of page. Who is your favorite tv lesbian couple, excluding all L Word couples?

Gay Men vs Lesbians ... Or Not

“Gay men may seek sex without emotion; lesbians often end up in emotion without sex.”
- Camille Paglia

I used this quotation to start off a paper I had to write for my Intro to LGBT Literature class. It kind of fitted with what I was writing about, but the real reason why I used it was it is so stereotypical. Everyone always hears about lesbian bed death … even straights. It’s crazy. The paper was about two poems, both written by lesbians, both very erotic. This quotation was just such a great contrast to those poems. It helped that one of my arguments was the poets go against the grain with their poems and, well, lesbians having hot lesbian sex is the complete opposite of lesbian bed death … don’t ya think?
