The 5 Most Wtf Moments of Fictional Lesbian Adultery
15 May 2013 12:01 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

My favorite writing teacher once told me that if writers fail to listen to the desperate whispered desires of their characters, the fictional worlds they inhabit will collapse around their ears. It's a really pretty way to say characters have to be allowed to act out if their stories are going to be believable. Sometimes acting out just means mouthing off. Sometimes it means shouting and stomping around. And sometimes it means scissoring with a lady who is not the lady you promised to scissor with exclusively.
Straight characters who are in committed relationships cheat all the time across all forms of media and it's usually nothing by a cliched snoozefest, but committed lesbian couples are so sparse that when one of our beloved gay characters cheats and another one of our beloved gay characters, we find ourselves shouting at our TVs and movies and books. »

Having a rough week? Feeling a little down in the dumps? Well, in case you’re having one of those “man, I wish I could see some hot women make out on TV right now” moments, here’s something to perk up your day.
Since the sad demise of Lip Service, in which she played Sam Murray, Heather Peace has been keeping busy playing Nikki Boston on the BBC’s Waterloo Road, a popular drama that’s been on the air in the UK since 2006. It deals with the teachers and students at a troubled secondary school that’s just recently relocated to Scotland. This new school is run by Michael and Lorraine, and keep an eye out for Lorraine (played by Daniela Denby-Ashe), because she is the foxiest headmistress you ever did see.
Here’s the set up: The last portion of Series 8 kicked off last week, »

Gay culture doesn't begin and end with Grindr and the scene | Paul Burston
20 April 2013 2:30 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Now that gay people have won the right to marry along with other freedoms, it's time we reclaimed all of culture for ourselves
If I say the words "gay culture"', what do you think of? Pride parades with muscle boys in leather hot pants? Kylie Minogue? Antiquated drag queens miming to Shirley Bassey? "Lip Service"?
A recent piece in The Huffington Post described Grindr as an example of "gay culture". For those unfamiliar with modern gay dating rituals, Grindr is an app which enables men to track the locations of potential sexual partners. First launched in 2009, it now claims to have four million users worldwide. In fact, so successful has Grindr been that it recently spawned a lesbian version, called FindHrr.
Is this what passes for gay culture these days? An app which offers the quickest, easiest way to arrange sexual hook-ups? If Grindr really is an example of »

Jenna Jameson won't be charged with battery
11 April 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Jenna Jameson won't be charged with battery. The former adult movie star was arrested on April 6 after allegedly using her 'brass knuckle' iPhone case to attack personal assistant Britney Markham at a salon on Newport Beach, but law enforcement officers told website TMZ that she won't face charges as the Orange County District Attorney's Office have decided there isn't enough evidence to convict. However, the case could still have repercussions for Jenna - who has starred in such films as 'Lip Service', 'Priceless' and 'Wicked Weapon' - as Britney has applied for a restraining order against her. She is also expected to follow up with a civil suit against her alleged attacker. Jenna - who was arrested hours before »
6 TV Shows That Got Lesbian Sex Right

Lesbian sex. It's a phrase so fraught with tawdry confusion that Google won't even autocomplete it. (Instead, they'll give you a choice between "lesbian seagull" and "lesbian senator.") And corporate firewalls block websites that talk about it because they assume you're trying to watch porn at work. It's both bewildering and infuriating. We live in a culture so saturated with sex that the best way to sell a burrito is to simulate a hot chick giving it a blow job in an animated advertising Gif. But "lesbian sex" makes the internet go haywire.
And even though we've come a long way in terms of gay lady visibility on TV, lesbian sex seems also to bamboozle writers and directors. Most TV shows with lesbian characters subscribe to the idea that lesbians either get off by fully-clothed cuddling, or that whatever »

Good morning!
Looks like Lifetime has un-canceled Drop Dead Diva, so if you're a fan of that very queer show, rejoice.
Supposedly Rosie O'Donnell is working on a lesbian parenting book and she asked Jodie Foster to contribute but she was turned down. I really just want to know who Jodie is with in that photo.
Bitch magazine has a list of the best lines from a 1968 book about bisexuality. Very interesting.
Out hip-hop duo Kin 4 Life has a sexy new video for their song "Take Your Clothes Off."
Turkey has a new film about their Pflag called My Child. That one is definitely going to make me cry.
A lesbian couple had their photo axed from their high school yearbook. Felicia Rivera and Lialani Hernandez were cuddling in a photo for the Valentine's Day spread and the yearbook staff »

Watch Now! Heather Peace's "Fight For"

Tags: Heather Peacemusic videovideoRoxanne McKeeAlice ArnoldIMDbLip Service
Actress/musician Heather Peace has released the new video for her single "Fight For," which is a new remix of the song fans will recognize from her album Fairytales. The video stars some famous faces including Scottish TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, British newscaster Alice Arnold, actress Zoe Lucker and Lip Service's Roxanne McKee among others who hold signs showing what they fight for.
"I love that songs can mean lots of different things to different people and I wanted to embrace that in the video," Heather said. "I asked my fans and my friends to send me one word or a sentence that outlined the things they think are worth fighting for today. We got a huge response back of really mixed ideas; from the window seat on an airplane, to ending animal cruelty, to three day working weeks. A lot of people would fight for cheese. »

Good morning!
If you're still sad about Lip Service and think a glimpse of Ruta Gedmintas will cheer you up, the entire pilot for her new show Do No Harm is available online. Fair warning: She doesn't come on until about half way through. And she's straight.
The Aclu gets shit done! A lesbian-themed book was taken off the library shelves in Utah and the organization was able to put it right back. Now everyone can share in the delight that is In Our Mothers' House.
Gospel singer Gloria Muliro is the homophobe of the day. She went on Facebook to say she wanted to "expose" lesbians because, "It is very embarrassing, where have you ever seen a woman marrying another woman?" Why yes, I have. A few different times. Myself included!
