I’d like to add the English language films of Sarah Waters (Tipping The Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith, The Night Watch) to various time periods ranging from 19th century through to 1940s, and Bend It Like Beckham to should’ve been gayer because the original endgame was Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra as a happy sporty dyke couple and the studio said no.
IT’S SO PRETTY!!!!

Do you like to read? Do you like to read books featuring women who happen to like other women? Do you enjoy good karma points from the universe? If so, help this CMU grad student with her LGBTQIA Readers Survey! It takes less than 10 minutes and answers are anonymous.
More info from the graduate student running the study:
“I’m Hope, a graduate student in the Master of Science in Administration program at Central Michigan University. My capstone thesis study, underway now, examines the LGBTQIA fiction market and its readers – especially for women who love women. The data collected will provide useful information and help us understand how authors and publishers can make better LGBTQIA content for readers.
My target participation goal is approximately 400, and I’m hoping to capture a healthy portion of responses from outside the USA. The results of this study are only useful if it accurately captures the needs and interests of the LGBTQIA fiction community. I’m happy to share a summary of the study once it’s finished – please contact me at my academic email for more information or questions: croni1h@cmich.edu.
Thanks for your time and support of this project! Your voices and your stories matter!
I’ve been asked to spread this among my followers because whom best to get the statistics from than wlw readers themselves! The survey is really short so do it if you have a few minutes free.
hello i just want to say that i understand the thought process behind “wlw cant fetishize women” and i understand where this comes from but also its still relevant to the conversation to talk about how white wlw sexualize woc. i saw a post claiming that bringing this up is derailing and that “ppl know what we mean” but i really dont think it is!
white wlw need to be aware of how they view woc. they need to be conscious of this sexualization. conscious of how they speak about our bodies. conscious of how they touch us. conscious of their expectations on our sexuality and wants and desires. white women have a long history of violence! yall contribute to our fetishization and abuse!! its relevant to the conversation and it may be uncomfortable to acknowledge but it needs to be said and heard.
a woman viewing another woman sexually is not inherently dehumanizing, but you still need to take into consideration the way race plays into it.
quick question what are the chances of xena and diana knowing one another?
This tweet came from a conversation about an artwork with Xena and Wonder Woman fighting. Lucy was asked if this was how she pictured them meeting and she said:
So, I’m not sure about the chances of them knowing each other, but they are lesbian lovers.
This is better than anything I envisioned
reblogging again purely for that gif
Remember that time Lucy Lawless wrote her first fanfic and it had girls kissing and maintext?
I wonder if I can get away with making this a fandom for Yuletide this year…
