Heather West of Hell’s Kitchen, the first lesbian to win a reality show, talks to SheWired.com about being on reality television, losing the first woman she ever fell in love with at first sight, Chef Gordon Ramsay's supposed anti-lesbian rant and what she thinks about L.A. lesbians now that she’s been living  in the City of Angels for a while.

Suze Orman isn’t the only money-minded lesbian out there. You probably haven’t heard of her yet, but Randy Malmud is working every day to figure out ways to make the “gay dollar” strong. Malmud joined the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and within weeks she became the Chair of their Membership Committee, then one year later was voted in as President of the organization.

There’s nothing like a woman who knows how to command a room. Well, make that a classroom. Maybe it’s the sexy, smart-girl appeal. Maybe it’s the power that comes with wielding a red pen. Or maybe it’s the way they wear those just-to-the-knee skirts and then cross their legs at their desks. SheWired salutes teachers on the big and small screens inlcluding Jennifer Beals, Cate Blanchett, Jennie Garth, Hillary Swank, Michelle Pfeiffer, Salma Hayek, Suzanne Pleshette and more...

Hopefully you caught last week’s interview on SheWired with Anyone But Me actress Nicole Pacent. This week we caught up with her on-screen love, Rachael Hip Flores, who gave us the scoop on kissing girls on camera and why she would play an elf in a 'hot second.'

Star of the break-out Web series 'Anyone But Me,' Nicole Pacent talks to SheWired about being a real-life 'lady-loving lady,' and being out and her on-screen kissing scenes with costar Rachael Hip-Flores. Plus, the celeb she'd like to kiss on screen next. Pink anyone?

Women everywhere fell in love with Erin Kelly when she starred in Katherine Brooks’ lesbian student-teacher scandal film Loving Annabelle in 2006.

Lights are on trees, long lines are in stores, and past L Word seasons are wrapped and ready to distribute among your friends. That’s right, the holidays are here. And so is your family. The most traditionally family-oriented holiday of them all, Thanksgiving, is just days away.

While all of Los Angeles and many other cities in California and across the country are singularly focused at the moment on the injustice of the passage of Proposition 8 I thought perhaps this would be a good opportunity to take a break from the protests, rest our weary minds and hearts, and take a look at what the gay and lesbian community is like in another part of the world -- Paris, France.

Writer Shannon Connolly, who's spending the year abroad in Paris, responds to Prop. 8's passage: To those who voted 'Yes on Prop 8', let me tell you something. I was a child once. No one told me what it meant to be gay. No one told me that the word 'family' can have many different meanings and manifestations.
