caught stealing cast

Lesbians and bisexual women were EVERYWHERE on television in 2013, and that's just how we like it.

An accomplished dancer, professor and first-time filmmaker Erika Randall Beahm was on the verge of delivering two ‘babies’ earlier this month, one, her first child with her husband, and the other, her feature film and pet project Leading Ladies, which was just coming out on DVD via the LGBT-friendly distributor Wolfe Video. A professor of dance at The University of Colorado, Beahm, with her writing partner Jennifer Bechtel and her co-director, her husband Daniel, collaborated on Leading Ladies, a dance film rife with humor and romance in the classical Hollywood vein ala director Vincent Minnelli. That is, if Minnelli had dared direct a dance film that replaced the compulsory heterosexual couple with a lesbian couple who find love on the ballroom dance floor.

While Pretty Little Liars is the preferred guilty pleasure of teens and adults alike who just froth over soapy drama with a mysterious edge and a remarkably well-written lesbian storyline, Rosewood’s resident lesbian Emily Fields has recently endured a string of mishaps ala her blackmailer "A" that have seriously stunted her love life. The episode kicks off with Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Em (Shay Mitchell) dressed as the cutest candy stripers ever while keeping watch as Spencer (Troian Bellisario) acts as the show’s ostensible Nancy Drew digging for the missing page from their bitchy dead friend Alison’s file in the morgue.

While the rest of the country took the weekend off to celebrate the Fourth of July with Tofu pups on the grill, watermelon salad, good old American beer and Katy Perry’s “Firework” on a continuous audio loop, the lovely ladies of The Real L Word forged on as if there were no such thing as a three-day holiday. Whitney and Rachel have full-on lesbian sex in a bathroom, Sajdah and Chanel get STD tested, Romi and Kelsey have the booze talk and Claire and Francine fight as usual

Beverage of choice in hand, I compiled a Top Ten Sports Moments best titled the Good, the Bad, and the Just Plain Ugly. From lesbian mountain biker Missy Giove busted as a pot dealer, to questions about Caster Semenya's gender, it's been a bumpy ride. Grab your pom poms or put your mouth guard securely in place! Plus, Michelle Wei, Natasha Kai, Lisa Leslie and Amelie Mauresmo.
