LESBIAN
ROMANCE: THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE OF RATINGS
In Brazil, the 1950s-era telenovela JK,
which airs on the Globo channel, recently featured a storyline
in which a journalist named Ana falls for a woman named
Marisa, only to have her heart broken when Marisa marries
a man.
Meanwhile,
across the pond, UK soap Coronation Street is
rumored
to be joining Footballers' Wives, Eastenders,
and Emmerdale in launching its own lesbian storyline
soon. Seriously, what's going on over there? Clearly something's
in the water. (Not to be confused with 1998's cheesy gay
and lesbian movie It's
In the Water, which is amusing, but not British.)
BUT
WAIT, THERE'S MORE...
Who knows how to say, "No, there's no information
yet on when South
of Nowhere is coming out on DVD, but I'll list
it on our DVD
release page as soon as there is so please stop asking
me!" in British English? Because saying it in American
English clearly isn't working.
Gillery's
Little Secret, the short film starring Annabeth Gish
as a lesbian returning to her hometown, is now available
to purchase on DVD only via this
website.
Amy
Irving is getting rave
reviews for her starring role as lesbian poet Elizabeth
Bishop in the new play A Safe Harbor for Elizabeth
Bishop.
Just
when I was really getting to love snarky ER doc Regina,
CBS sitcom Out
of Practice has been temporarily pulled from
the schedule, which doesn't bode well for a second-season
renewal. So far, primetime TV isn't shaping up to be very
lesbian-friendly next season. Have I mentioned how much
I miss Buffy?
