Please, no
more pregnant lesbians! Or lesbians trying to
get custody. Or fighting with their sperm donor. Or doing
anything else that revolves their storylines completely
around children, childbirth, child care, Julia Childs,
or Children of a Lesser God. (Sorry, I got carried
away with those last two.)
Maybe
it will help if I say it in Spanish this time: no
más de lesbianas embarazadas! Or Dutch: geen
zwangere lesbiennes meer! How about Canadian: stop
with the pregnant lesbians, eh?
Are
we all on the same page now? Good. Moving on.

UPDATE
British tabloids are reporting that openly bisexual actress
Saffron
Burrows (Troy, Circle of Friends) and British
stage star Fiona
Shaw (known to most Americans as Aunt Petunia in the
Harry Potter movies), are back together after supposedly
splitting up two months ago. The two women, who have been
living together in London for the last few years, attended
the Whitbread Book Awards in London together in late January.
While
Fiona can be seen in the next Harry Potter movie,
Saffron probably won't be coming to a theater near you
anytime soon; she seems to be sticking to London theatrical
productions and non-U.S. movies these days.
Given
that most American movie roles for women fall into the
girlfriend/wife trap (Troy is a good example),
can you blame her? Burrows's most prominent American role
that didn't define her primarily by her romantic relationship
to a man was in Deep Blue Sea--and she got eaten
by a shark. That pretty much says it all.
