This past Sunday marked the annual Pride celebration in Los Angeles, and since many of us were already out getting farmer's tans and paying too much for bottled water anyway, we gathered for an informal meet-up at the end of the parade route outside of The Normandie Room.

A few of us AfterEllen.com vloggers (from Cherry Bomb, Ghostella's Tomb, We're Getting Nowhere, and Brunch with Bridget) and some of the women from 3Way were in attendance, and we were all thrilled to meet our fellow readers. Thanks to everyone who braved the mayhem and came out to say hello.

Below are some of the photos we took at the event, and some from readers who sent them in (thanks!). Happy Pride!

In this extra-long episode of 3Way (22 mins!) Andrea, Roxie and Geri take Siobhan with them to the hot new lesbian bar in town, where Roxie gets into a showdown with Jenny Shimizu; Andrea helps Siobhan finally get some action (with a guy); and everyone runs into their exes, including pathological liar Celia (Elizabeth Keener), who hooks up with — who else? — Geri.

Plus: Siobhan's Young Doctors Who Cry co-star Winter Coat mysteriously shows up at the bar. Is she playing for the other team? I don't care, I just love that her name is Winter Coat!

Earlier this week, the cast of here TV's campy supernatural gay and lesbian drama Dante's Cove kicked off its third season with a premiere party, and photographer Faye Sadou was kind enough to share some photos with us. Enjoy!

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, which provides a perfect opportunity to give a shout out to the queer Asian-American women who have been out both in front of the camera and behind it, giving a much-needed face to the queer Asian-American community.

5. Alice Wu

The Stanford-educated computer scientist-turned-filmmaker burst onto the queer scene in 2004 with her debut feature film, Saving Face, about a Chinese-American medical student, Wil (Michelle Krusiec), who falls for a dancer, Vivian (Lynn Chen). The film, which began as a wholly independent feature from an unknown and previously untested director, went on to be picked up for distribution by Sony Pictures Classics, making it the first theatrically released film about an Asian-American lesbian.

Wu is currently working on her second feature film, Paramount's Foreign Babes in Beijing, an adaptation of Rachel DeWoskin's memoir about a 21-year-old poetry major who goes to China to work for an American PR firm, then tries out for an acting job on a whim and becomes an overnight success on a Chinese soap. … continue reading
