It’s funny how the movie doesn’t feel like other forbidden love stories; it is funny, passionate, ambitious, and charming! In the end, it’s not a story about love, it is a story about being seen. And that is what we need more of! Summerland is so important, as it tells an interracial lesbian love story like it hasn’t been shown before. The film has, sadly, been banned in Kenya for its gay theme. They see the film as “promotion of lesbianism”.

The original plan was to play the trope straight, but neither of the Batemans were comfortable with that. But some lesbian period dramas are definitely worth the watch. The lesbian movie Summerland is even my favorite lesbian movie ever! The movie is based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 semi-autobiographical romantic novel “ The Price of Salt” Best friends Molly and Amy realize they missed out on a lot of high school stuff because they were so serious about getting A’s. Not just some lesbian kissing, not some suggestive intimacy, but within 20 minutes of the movie, there’s a very explicit scene.A lot has changed since the first lesbian film Mädchen in Uniform, was released in 1931. The genre came alive in the late 20th century; we have some oldies but goldies (or shall we say they deserve a gold star?). It’s not a very light movie, but it’s also not as heavy as you might expect. The movie isn’t your average lesbian romance; it’s actually only a part of it. Although some male directors can pull it off, lesbian intimacy in movies directed by men is not the kind of intimacy lesbians are looking for. This happens in other episodes occasionally, such as one where Rachael plays a one-episode love interest for his character Quagmire, and another where Stewie flirts with an older woman also voiced by Rachael MacFarlane.

Justin and Alex from Wizards of Waverly Place, who are brother and sister, pretend to be married and have three kids in the episode, "Max's Secret Girlfriend". It’s about a young woman named Sweety Chaudhary, who’s a lesbian (in the closet). She is under pressure from her family, as they are seeking to marry her to a husband. So this movie about a middle-aged married lesbian couple that is confronted with the donor of their children, directed by lesbian director Lisa Cholodenko (yeah, the one from High Art!), sounded really great.Yes, she is a bad lesbian, and we want to warn you for one of the lesbian tropes (without spoiling too much). But everyone in this movie is bad. Let’s start with a few classic lesbian movies. Of course, old lesbian movies aren’t perfect, but they paved the way for lesbian movies nowadays! A third Brazilian case: as recalled by Caio Guarnieri when he received his sister Isabella in his YouTube channel, while dubbing a Russian show, Caio was recording a passionate love scene, and then when he recognized the already recorded voice of Isabella, he angrily asked how the dub directors had the guts to cast the two siblings as lovers. The second time I watched it, many years later, I got to enjoy it much more. Friends told me that, after watching this movie, they for sure knew they were lesbian. This seems like it shouldn't be a victory. And yet, the list of movies who've accomplished the same feat is painfully abbreviated. Don't talk to me about Blue is the Warmest Color, a movie made famous for its extended, impractical sex scenes and allegations of harassment by its director, Abdellatif Kechiche. Kechiche reportedly bullied the two female protagonists as well as his staff, forcing them to work 16-hour workdays under extreme pressure. Critics further accused the director of creating "voyeuristic" sex scenes intended to solicit the male gaze.

There are activities that aren’t legal, there are struggles, and there’s intimacy, all included in the lesbian movie Bound.The intimate scenes are great, and lesbian director Tali Shalom Ezer’s storytelling is very well done. Then, Claude meets cool girl Lucy (Alice from the lesbian shows The L Word and The L Word Generation Q!), who turns her world upside down. The movie is not about being lesbian, but the main character Marla Grayson, played by the fantastic Rosamund Pike, is a lesbian.
