where are the gay women?

[escritoireazul]

You know, I'm loving some shows right now, and fandoms and such, and okay mostly my flist, but still, there is love. Except. Except where are all the gay women? Where are all the bisexual women? Even the new buddy cop show (which, I admit, I enjoy) has gay male subtext, but where is the gay women subtext? Or, better yet, text? Why do I fear ever getting the novel published because it has gay female main characters in a supernatural setting? (And also, not first person, because I hate that shit. Almost no one can do it well, and I have yet to read an author who does it well most of the time. Except almost everything else is in first person.)

You know, it's possible I a) did not spend enough time with the weights today working off frustration and b) am ready to bitch about anything. I'm about a day away from my period, I think, which is just something else to hate and bitch.

However, Roseanne is something to watch and enjoy. I need a diet Dr. Pepper and then I'm going to curl up in bed and watch it for awhile.




Supernatural was fun, though.

They're on the L Word, which we all love to hate. And reality TV generally gives us a few, if we're willing to sit though the crap. As for novels, I'm 150 pages in to The Night Watch, the new Sarah Waters, very lesbian and not written in the first person. I love it so far, though I doubt anything could top Tipping the Velvet.

I've not ever watched the L Word, but I need to add it to my Netflix account and check it out (since I can't watch it on television, unfortunately).

I only recently saw Tipping the Velvet for the first time and loved it, followed quickly by Fingersmith (which I also liked, but not as much as TtV); I haven't read the book to Tipping the Velvet yet, but it's here in my Purchased, To Read pile, so I'm looking forward to that. The Night Watch will be next on the list. I quite love Sarah Waters right now, and am so glad my girl, thestalkycop, convinced me to read them.

Your icon is beautiful.
