Sweden’s Queer ‘Girl King’
I have always gravitated to the films that pull us back in time to the grandeur or spectacle of royalty and those who attend them in the 15th, 16th and 17th century. In The Girl King, Director Mika Kaurismaki thrusts us into the world of Sweden with his brilliant view of a queen that shall […]
Lesbian Filmmakers We Love: Petra Clever
Like most lesbians who love to see our stories on television or in film, I became a YouTube searcher a number of years ago. My fingers did the walking to a German series named Verbotene Liebe. It had a 20-year run with over 4300 episodes as a daily soap in Germany. You can imagine my […]
A Lesbian Film for all Seasons
The first time I saw a photo of Patricia Velásquez‘, I couldn’t catch my breath. Stunning doesn’t begin to describe her. In February 2015, I read Velásquez’  memoir Straight Walk, discussing her struggles growing up in poverty in Venezuela and how her relationship with Sandra Bernhard made her realize she was a lesbian. This, by the way, […]

On Wednesday night I attended a special screening of Freeheld at the Castro Theater, benefiting NCLR. It was packed with lesbians—SURPRISE! I was reminded of the time I saw the premier of Desert Hearts at the Castro in 1985…you could have heard a pin drop during some of the intense scenes. While I can’t say […]
Pick On Someone Your Own Caliber
It is noon on October 8th and I just turned on the news. It is a day, so far, to celebrate. No one has walked into a mall, a school, the streets of a major city, or a church and unloaded their gun on innocent people. With the nearly daily reports, one could get de-sensitized […]

Lesbian Filmmakers Laurie and Caroline Hart
In 2005, Caroline and Laurie Hart met. One lived in the US and one in the UK. Love and the desire to be together forever quickly followed. Simple and lovely. Right? Well, not so as the US government threw up every blockade to letting them be together. Hart 2 Hart Productions felt that this story […]
Think Different: Exiting the Loop
I’m not referring to that old “poor grammar†Apple slogan. Did you ever go into a loop over someone? When you can’t get her out of your head? And even if she made it clear she doesn’t want to be with you, you still keep spinning on it? I found myself stuck in the loop […]
