– An (almost) Personal Message from Bette Porter Jennifer Beals
You are excited? We are excited!
[B+K] OMG, OMG, OMG - Guess who just had an L Word-marathon* and hence couldn’t help themselves buying two copies of The L Word Book by Jennifer Beals. Also: today is the last day the book will be...

“If The L Word does nothing else for us, it will at least reveal to the world...”
– Scribegrrrl in her very first The L Word-Recap
[K] So true ! I know we all have (very) mixed feelings about Ilene Chaiken’s brain child, but I must admit: I just started re-watching The L Word from the beginning and already feel the old obsession slowly crawling back into my life…...

WatchReally! With Amy and Seth brings lesbo-jokes to the issue of birth control (and me back into the “Pro-SNL”-camp)
[K] Since birth-control might not on the top of my personal list of “things that need urgent solving”, but I still deeply care about it, I do appreciate the adding of something gay to the mix… usually, that’s Rachel Maddow. On Saturday, however, Amy...

Vintage Butch of the Week: Gluck
[K] It would be a shame to let LGBT History Month pass without an edition of our Favorite Vintage Butch, wouldn’t it? Especially it the vintage butch in question has a formidably androgynous fashion sense like British painter Gluck (nee Hannah Gluckstein, 1895 - 1978)
Gluck, 1924, photographed by E.O. Hoppe (to whom a exhibition is dedicated right now at the National Portrait Gallery)

"Young Man with a Horn"... and his Wife with a...
[K] Young Man with a Horn is the 1950 biopic about legendary jazz cornetist Bix Beiderbecke played by Kirk Douglas and, so far, I realize that there is absolutely no reason you would be interested in that film unless you are a film buff/jazz fan. That is, until you realize that his love interest, and later wife Amy North, played by Lauren Bacall and her oh-so-husky voice… is gay.

– Judith “Jack” Halberstam on Pop Culture and Queers

Music Videos That Made Me Gay - Today: Two Nice...
[B] Today’s band of choice dates back to the late 1980s. Two Nice Girls are, what you might call a badass, lesbian punk band from Austin, Texas. They released their same-titled first album in 1989, won a GLAAD award in 1991, and split up in 1992.
Not so much punk but still very gay their video of “Let’s go Bonding”:
Oh and they even do have a song called “Queer...

Bitchy Butch - World's Angriest Dyke
[B] This might be old news for some of you, but I haven’t heard of the Bitchy Butch till today and so far everything I read sounds pretty promising.
Bitchy Butch was created by Roberta Gregory as counterpart to her very successfull character Bitchy Bitch. Oh and it even gets better. Roberta Gregory started publishing her work in the 1970s. Among others in the...
