Lesbians
A lesbian-only enclave is said to exist in Sweden. Sounds specious.
Holy cripes. The ancient isle of Lesbos (or Themyscira, if you're a Wonder Woman fan) may have gotten a re-lo to Scandinavia. Per Asylum, rumor has it that a secret society of Sapphic Swedes may have taken root in Chako Paul City. The Swedish government denies the existence of this gayelle Xanadu but that hasn't stopped news sources and men from believing the tales of the Amazonian Shangri-L-Word. Check the Asylum link for more crazy details about Chako Paul (which translates to "Without Purse"). Read: Study: Bisexual Women Are Not Lesbians

Maureen McCormick decries Eve Plumb's distancing of herself. Fears it's over joke.
Hey FoxNews, the '70s called and said it wants its tabloid story back.
A headline on the FoxNews website reads: 'Marcia Brady' Says 'Jan' Won't Talk to Her Over 'Lesbian Affair.'
Apparently, Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on the iconic show The Brady Brunch, is upset that her (formerly) close friend, Eve Plumb, has cut her out of her life. McCormick has said that Plumb, who played Jan Brady on the show, is trying to distance herself from McCormick and The Brady Bunch.
The kicker?
McCormick believes it is over a joke she told that she and Plumb had a … Read More
Massachusetts is saying The Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional.
We've written several pieces about how the economy would get a boost if more states adopted gay marriage. Regardless of how comfortable you are with two grooms or two brides, marriages are pricey. Not only do you have the mandatory marriage license, but tuxedo rentals (for him and her), wedding gowns (for him and her), booked reception spaces and hoity toity wedding planners. And don't forget the honeymoon (no matter how low maintenance). All these things inevitably funnel money from one person's pocket to another's. Consumer-wise, weddings are another reason to throw a party … Read More
We aren't the only species enjoying some same-sex loving.
While we've known for eons that homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom—we had a lot of fun with the gay penguin couple, Roy and Silo—new research suggests same-sex loving may actually be beneficial to the species.
As reported in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, same-sex romances (if you will) have "evolutionary consequences" that may very well alter the species' structure. Gay, Straight and "Stray"
The journal sites several animal species with strong undercurrents of homosexuality. For example, the Hawaiian Laysan albatross bird community is grossly overwrought with males, leaving many single … Read More
The star is concerned about relationship between her partner and a friend.
Rosie O’Donnell, no stranger to conflict, also seems to have a bit of a jealous streak. Rumor has it that the star blew up at her longtime partner Kelly Carpenter over rumors that she exchanged a friendly kiss with a mutual friend of the couple, Broadway actress Julia Murney. In the April 13th issue of National Enquirer, a source states, "Rosie is very protective of Kelli and really freaked out when she heard about the lip lock. Rosie believed she was being betrayed, and it erupted into a nasty and bitter showdown with Kelli over her perceived cheating - … Read More
Lesbian communes are having a tough time recruiting new members.
Women don't sleep with women like men do. And some guys find this out the hard way.
As fairly opened-minded women, we're not ashamed to admit we've never 100% gotten the whole straight guy, hot lesbian obsession.It's just one of those things, and quite honestly, men and women have such different sexual quirks that we just throw bisexual bedmates on the pile with porn, silicone and Kim Kardashian (we don't really get any of it).Nor can we relate. The vast majority of us ladies aren't praying for an invite to be the meat in a gay man sex sandwich, nor do we hope our boyfriends make out and fondle their male friends. It just doesn't really translate … Read More
Lindsay Lohan's and others' flirtations with Sapphos are nothing to scoff at.
In yesterday's New York Magazine's Daily Intel blog Jessica Coen writes about the various lesbian toe dips indulged in by today's young starlets. Coen lists Katy Perry, whose song "I Kissed A Girl" has got us girl-crushing, the are-they-or-aren't they heiresses Casey Johnson and Courtenay Semel, and mostly famously, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, as "faux lesbians" whose Sapphic dalliances "seem more like a performance for attention than actual sexuality."
She goes on to say that girl-girl-loving is a tired and easy career move. What Coen … Read More
Ten-year survey shows most bisexual women stick with it.
A study published by the American Psychological Association recognizes that women can maintain a long-term attraction to both genders. This study, done over 10 years, was intended to refute the myth that bisexual women were lesbians trying to straddle the fence between societal expectations and their true feelings. It also shows that bisexual women are able to commit to long-term relationships.
There were 79 women that took part in the study (10 too many? WOOOOO). Essentially, these women checked in five times over the 10-year period. The bisexual and … Read More
