Oh my goodness I've just had to pause to say that the words you quote spoken by Anne in was it The Odd Girl (?) were exactly those uttered by my mother when I came out. I'd fallen for my now wife in 1983 whilst married to a man who's heart I broke but am forever grateful to for letting me go and still being a dear friend. "She has you hypnotised" I wouldn't mind but I'd been the biggest tom-boy all my life! đ They both came to love my darling too in the end.

I really noticed lately how much my expectations of inclusivity has dropped when I heard myself say things like: "The story was boring but at least they didn't kill off the queer couple." and "They made the mentally ill person the crazy bad girl, but at least they gave her a personality next to her disability." and "I finally found a series that got autism right, but I happen to not relate with the main character, but I watched it anyway because there isn't any other representation." It is sad how little there is out there.

Iâm 51. When I was in my teens and early 20âs I had to really search for anything with lesbians and most of what I found was not good or happy, but at least it was something.
My younger self would never have imagined how things have progressed! I am elated that there is so much positive representation now.
(My favorite couple is Ava and Sara from Legends of Tomorrow.)

Jessica-could you please do a spotlight/maybe a guest appearance interview or something with a couple of older lesbians or some "late bloomer" (previously straight or married to men) lesbians and explore that a little bit? I feel like those who are older and a bit "late to the party" kinda get left out of a lot in the community or taken less seriously. I realize your demographic is primarily 30s and younger but you really do have a lot of middle aged/mature followers here too who love you & Claudia & Rupert equally.

My favorite WLW relationship right now is in The Owl House. Disney may be trash, but this show isn't and having a Neurodivergent, Bi, POC as the main protagonist of a Disney Cartoon on the main channel and prominently advertised is amazing.
The show tackles family trauma, healthy boundaries, healthy communication, and the wlw relationship is an enemies to friends to girlfriends arc that features the actual crush stage, as well as not waiting until the show is over to actually make the characters a couple.

I'm Austrian and there is this Austrian actress Romy Schneider who's famous for playing Kaiserin Sissi and the movie plays every new years eve and seeing her in that movie as a young girl was like, my lesbian awakening lol. I thought she was the prettiest person ever and I guess she was my first celebrity crush? years later I found out that she played the main character in a 1953 movie about a young girl falling in love with her female teacher. It ends sad, but there was a kiss between them. The movie is Mädchen in Uniform. The original came out in 1931!

As someone who has more than a passing interest in history, it never fails to amuse me how people reckon the ill-defined past was somehow more innocent, and that folks had "better values". I'm sure that seems like a very reasonable assessment of bygone eras, at least right up until they pick up a book for the fist time.
Hopefully it'll be vintage lesbian fiction :p
I do love the tagline for that one titled The Strange Path. "Her Choice - Normal Marriage or L E S B I A N L O V E"
Aka, the least difficult dilemma I've ever been presented. I do hope she picks the latter.

At uni in 2006 we studied oranges are not the only fruit which is a coming of age lesbian story. (My English degree included am optional unit titled "women writing and modernity.") Despite identifying as queer since mid teens (late 90's) it was the first time I had really seen women loving women represented as not just something for the male gaze, I was around 26 before I discovered gay literature or met any openly gay couples as far as I knew until then apart from one ex girlfriend I was the only of my kind here. I live in a big city, but just hadn't been exposed to anything except het culture.

"Buy one gay one free" LOL.....and now I have to clean the coffee out of my keyboard.
I remember finding one of these types of books at a friends house as a young teen (mid 80's), her mother had gotten married and had exactly one child (to get her parents off her back) and then promptly divorced the guy...she did her "duty" and then told her folks to pound sand and stay out of her love life. Both of my friends parents were gay in the late 60's and figured the stigma of divorce was less than that of being gay, the parents raised her to know that she could love whom ever she chose and it was none of their business as long as she was safe and happy. Her mom said they were great friends, but never shared a bed until they were married for 3 years - and then only because of the pressure to have a baby. Her mom and momma have been together since 1990 and her dad and papa since 1994. They waited to date until my friend was of age so the family couldn't take her away because "immorality"...they had a double wedding when the law legalized gay marriage and live just a few houses apart.

"I have to deal with heterosexuality every single day." Isn't that the truth. đŽâđ¨
