Timeline of the lesbian/bi decade in entertainment
From Ellen and Portia to Batwoman and Wanda Sykes, 2009 has been a big year for lesbians and bisexual women in pop culture. But what about all of the people and events who made the entire decade so memorable?
To help jog your memory, StuntDouble created a nifty timeline that reflects just a few of the big stories from 2000 to 2009.
For a more thorough view of the last decade, check out our Best. Lesbian. Decade. Ever. article.

Wait....
Tila Tequila made the list?
And I thought the most notorious bisexual woman in the world was Angelina Jolie? Or Madonna? Or anyone else? :)
I would have bumped Tila out of the list and mention that Xena Ended....or even put South of Nowhere there, or better, Once and Again... or since you are including international events I can think of a lot of others too...
And I think it's important to mention that Fish & Elephant is the first Mainland Chinese movie about lesbianism (not only Chinese).
But nice anyway. :)
Tila Tequila--Notorious Bisexual Woman
Ah...
Interesting to know that notorious is usually used as a synonym to infamous, I didn't know that.
Well, I still think that Madonna would be more appropriate still as I would think she is more infamous around the world (not because of her bisexuality though).... :) :)
I don't think Tila is widely know outside of north america...
Batwoman
Lily Tomlin's answer was
Lily Tomlin's answer was good! I will always remember it!
Dr. Weaver . I love her
Melissa, Rosie and Ellen.

Willow and Kennedy!!
My cousin showed me that episode when I was just coming out (she knew waaay before I did!!) as like a 'Look! Theres nothing wrong with you, your just gay' and oh my lord that episode wake me up!!! And the olympics was fantastic!! Lets hope that the time line of the next decade will be SO much longer though!! :)
what a decade
my goodness that is one of my favorite movies... "The Hours"... Meryl Streep is amazing. I don't know but, I liked the L Word a lot... even though the last season was a total debacle...I love Melissa!!! quite a decade for her... Hmm Brooke Shields in "What Makes a Family", that was the 1st gay movie I saw... though I used to watch Queer as Folk (USA version).. and I remember Lindsey and Melinda, ha at that time I was quite innocent...

Missing Otalia
It boggles my mind that you left out Guiding Light's Olivia and Natalia. Their storyline was groundbreaking and beautifully told. In my opinion, their story was THE best lesbian love story I have seen in any medium. Can't believe it wasn't on the list. Something is amiss.
Tila Tequila made the list, but Otalia didn't?! C'mon.
Totally agree with you on
Willow and Tara
Willow coming out in 2000 and Willow and Tara's relationship. Joss Whedon had to fight the network, in fact threaten to QUIT to get them to allow Willow and Tara to kiss in the episode "The Body." It's my favorite openly gay fictional couple. They were EPIC. I'm truly mystified that they were left out.

Many thanks all the AfterEllen staff.
Willow and Tara
Yay for Willow and Kennedy...but my heart still goes out to Tara.... :(
To this day...whenever I hear that Michelle Branch song on the radio...I think about that episode where they broke up...ugh...sad, and of course she dies right when they get back together...
