LGBTQ Representation in the Media

AtLast · 03-08-2010, 08:01 AM

If These Walls Could Talk 2 was an amazing and powerful docudrama collection, especially concerning lesbians- from:
http://lesbianlife.about.com/cs/subject1/gr/ITWCT2.htm

If These Walls Could Talk 2 was originally an HBO Special, showing the lives of different generations of lesbians that all lived in the same house over generations. Produced by Ellen DeGeneres and directed by Anne Heche, ITWCT2 is one of the best representations of the lives of lesbians on film.

If These Walls Could Talk 2 portrays the lives of three different generations of lesbians. In 1961 Vanessa Redgrave plays the 'widow' of her partner of 50 years. In one of the most heart-breaking stories ever, Redgrave helplessly watches as a distant relative of her partner comes and take possession of their belongings. No story could more poignantly argue for the rights of same-sex marriage.

In 1972, college girl Michelle Williams meets soft butch Chloe Sevigny at a lesbian bar. Although her friends disaprove of Chloe's dress, Michelle can't keep away from the sauve soft-butch on a Harley. Sexy and hot!

Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone star in 2000 as a lesbian couple who wants nothing more than to have a baby. The love scenes between DeGeneres and Stone are worth the price of this video alone!

If These Walls Could Talk 2 is one of the best looks at the real lives of lesbians. It's funny, sexy, well-acted and directed. My only real complaint is that all of the main characters are white.

Several years ago, I saw this movie at a GLBTQ film festival in WA. I was moved, so moved...well, pretty much crying the entire time

Inlaws & Outlaws<<<Website

The trailer isn't that great...
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXeNyoqTLW0"]YouTube- Inlaws & Outlaws Preview[/ame]

2 of the older couples, one gay, one lesbian- told of their stories of YEARS of being closeted and then living as a couple for more than 50 years. It was beautiful to hear and watch the depth of their love for their partner(s) and how much they had weathered over the years. One of the men died last year. He might have made me cry the most

I wish movies like this were played on primetime TV so people could see we are and live just like everyone else.
