Lindsay Lohan Confirms Romantic Relationship with Samantha Ronson

I call it normalization. Even if everybody knew about it, it's still good news and additional visibility to have a normal celesbian couple come out, in such an undertoned, uneventful manner.

Even with the new definition of 'out', some still need to hear it out loud. Or softly spoken on a radio show. It all comes down to hearing it. They're softly out. And loud in visibility.

You go girls !

Yes, definately though we all thought we knew, and it's no one's business but their own, fair play to them.

:)

The 'new' definition of being 'out'.  What utter tripe.

Now that my morning bile is out of the way, I actually find this whole Lohan/Ronson thing sort of cute.  Which makes me question myself.  Soon I'll be obsessing over Perez Hilton or something...

[brb, going to read some good wholesome non-celebritarian books.]

we live in a society where rumors about Lohan trying to romance Michael Phelps are launched in the media the very day she leaves a comment reading 'guess who loves you' on 'galpal' Ronson's my space site ... I guess we still need verbal affirmation for people to wrap their heads around even the possibility of two women being in a romantic relationship. Or maybe it's just women who look like Lohan?

On the other hand some German tabloit included Lohan and Ronson in their 'celebrity relationship check' months ago. And what do you know - Ronson was one of only two celebrity partners deemed a 'prince charming' rather than a 'frog'.

I told my ‘straight’ girl-friend the other day that Lindsay Lohan was dating a girl and her response to that comment was, “you wish luv”, hehe.

Perhaps the simple confirmation of how long they have been together was in part because of Lindsay's comments the other day regarding the tragic events that led to the hospitalization of her and Samantha's good friend Adam "DJ AM" in which Lindsay via her MySpace blog said that "we must all treasure each and every moment- and be thankful for what we have..." Perhaps it was this wake up call that has made her more open, whereby she still believes that it's no one's business and that she's happy, but while she won't make official proclamations she won't bother denying the relationship when asked point blank.

It still goes to show that we are in a new era of "out"... where no one has to actually ever utter the words I'm Gay in order to formally be considered out in Hollywood. Now it's just a case of live your life happily and openly and not care about what is written or said about you and thus you are living your life "out".  And perhaps that is the best way to show the rest of the world that the LGBT community is just like everyone else, simply wanting to live our lives and be afforded the same rights as everyone else... after all as Sarah pointed out in her article Visibility Matters: Lindsay Lohan and the New Definition of "Out" "Straight celebrities don't announce their heterosexuality, we just make assumptions from their behavior."

We'll have to see how this story plays out via the rest of the media as well as what Lindsay and/or Samantha do or say (or perhaps don't do or say) next.

Wasn't DJ Stryker the dj for the Ellen Degeneres show last season? And I seem to remember reading that Ms. Ronson dj'ed at Ellen's 50 b-day party - along with a bunch of others. Small world out there in Hollywood lesboland ...

At any rate, it is clear from the clip that Ronson and Lohan were talking to someone they know well and are comfortable with as opposed to selling the "story" to some magazine.  And I like that the interview had next to nothing to do with their relationship but was mostly about the friends who had gotten hurt.

Lindsay, Lindsay - for once listen to your mother - fly commercial! Small planes and musicians don't mix!

I'm glad that disbelieving straight people can't deny it anymore, even in the face of blatant couple-y behaviour... and as much as it's brilliant that they don't/shouldn't have (or want) to do any kind of formal announcement, this subtle confirmation will mean a lot to many people.

Despite my better judgement, I'm actually quite taken with the whole 'transformation of Lindsay' story and her emergence as a surprise lesbian favourite.  Particularly as her new stability seems to be due in some part to Ronson's influence.  Good luck to 'em!

(nothing to do with the actress)

Yes, it does.

At least, it does to me. And it will continue to matter, until there is more than a handfull of out celebrities.

I'm really proud of Lindsay, Her and Samantha are just adorable together. I really wish them all the luck in the world, and I hope they stay together. <3

I’m pleased Lindsay finally confirmed all the rumors. Now there is no reason for me to doubt her. And to answer the fabulous Ms. Warn’s question, yes word confirmation does still mean something to a few of us. In a world filled with such unreliable media, I prefer to get my information from the source. Heck, I’m still on the fence about Jorja Fox. I have my guesses, but until she confirms them, they are just that. In my short 25 years of existence, I've found that assumptions only make an ass out of you and me. But I’ll be damned if we aren’t all guilty! Except, I'd like to think that most of use don't print ours in a magazine!  

"I hate people, they hate me. So doesn't that classify as a healthy, functioning relationship?"

I honestly don't think it matters if you confirm it or not and I think that's why it kind of just ... I think Lindsay was just waiting for someone to ask her directly and she felt honest and truthful about. 

Plus, she said that "Sam and I woke up..." which kind of gave it away too :D

I think Lindsay's just at a point in her relationship with Sam that she just doesn't care if people find out. She's in love, she's really really happy and it shows. It's been on her face for months now, she's glowing, she's happy and in love.

Also thanks to the interviewer for not using the words "gal pal". I much prefer the fun term "lady friend" :D somehow that's less annoying than "gal pal".

hats off to my favorite ceLESbrity couple.

I loved her before she was gay, and before she was a drug  addict, alcoholic, crazy person, but this is the icing on the cake!

I am glad they finally officially came out to the public ^__^

I loved the nonchalant way as well.

Glad to see Lindsey back on track :D

I think its great that we see more celesbians in the media :)
visibility matters!!! AND it doenst hurt that they are a hot couple ;)
