LGBT Month and Marlene Dietrich

In the UK at the moment it's LGBT Month, which is a nationwide event to raise awareness of sexuality. Until only a few years ago, homosexuality was outlawed in schools, until Tony Blair and his comrades sneaked through an appeal of the notorious Section 28 of the Local Government Act. Now we actively celebrate sexuality in schools, which would have been useful when I was a confused teen.

Faye (my blog co-author), myself and our good friends Becky and Stefan went along to Marlene Dietrich - An Affectionate Tribute, which was part of this event. It was an absolutely astounding evening, to learn so much about someone who constantly challenged preconceptions and was willing to stand up for what she believed in; and she was bisexual. We all fell madly in love with her instantly!

Below is an excellent clip of her in Morocco (check out the lesbian kiss, in the 1930s, in America!)

Cat woman is a lesbian!

Yes it's true - Cat woman is a lesbian!

DC Comics have announced that Cat Woman will be "a lesbian socialite by night and a crime-fighter by later in the night" in a reintroduction of the comic.

I think a lot dreams came true at this announcement.

Fantastic graphic art

Check out the graphic art of Nikki Cook. I stumbled across it and was so excited about it that I just wanted to spread the word!

Summer Heights High lesbians

Summer Heights High follows three characters through an Australian school. All played by the same actor, Chris Lilley, who also wrote the show, he tackles the many stereotypes of society. Ja'mie, a private school girl on an exchange with a Summer Heights High student, wants to do everything in her power to be the most popular student. So she decides to go to the dance with the most attractive person she can, which turns out to be a girl.

Ja'mie returns to her friends and explains that she's not a lesbian but she wants to look cool, to which all her friends agree is a great idea. Turning homophobia on it's head - excellent!
