Lesbians do get happy endings, too. irl i mean. I have an aunt who was born prior to 1955 (she's my father's older sister so it has to be before then) and she's been in a long relationship with her partner.

they're so serious her partner is my aunt! more happiness in cinema plz
 
My god, Dannichu and Harlequin, you guys posted those things at weird times. x) You make me feel so lazy, sauntering in here at almost midday.

Yeah, there are several lesbian films I've watched with really depressing endings. I'd love Lost and Delirious way more if it had a nicer ending, and also, although Loving Annabelle has an alternative ending, even that is pretty vague.
 
I'm still really depressed Milk wasn't released here... >_<

A little off-topic, but for my birthday my mum got me something with rainbow colours, since I have like nothing signifying LGBT. Okay so it's just a phone keyring but it's something! And I'm happy my mum did, because slowly but surely she's accepting me. Even if the topic is a bit awkward when we do talk about it and she didn't dare to mention LGBT rights by name ("And it... signifies... what you wanted it to signify.") XD

I really want some rainbow gloves or armwarmers to wear on the day we're doing Day of Silence (we're doing it on the 20th instead like I think I've said, since the 17th is during the holidays and we want to do it during school).
 
Aww, it's hilarious when parents are awkward like that. x3 It's really cool that your mum got a a rainbow keyring. :D

My mum's actually recently made fun of me - in a nice way. I was sitting in a Costa café with her and my older brother, who I'd said she could tell I'm gay but I wasn't sure if she had, and my brother was talking about the fact that there weren't many girls on his uni course, but there were in the year below him, and my mum said that'd be an ideal year for me. x); My brother just laughed.

I want National Coming Out Day to fall on a Wednesday - which is when I go fencing - next year but I don't think it does. Also I'm not sure if I'm going to do the Day of Silence or not. >.< Maybe I should just wear something rainbowy sometime in those weeks. If I can find anything. I find it surprisingly difficult looking for decent rainbow stuff.

Aww, that's awesome! When parents are okay to joke (in a nice way obviously) about it, it's a really good sign!

I agree that it's really hard to find rainbow stuff... I find it awesome though that when you wear rainbow stuff, usually only an LGBT person sees it as representative of LGBT. It's fun to find people that way! :D

I hadn't been to bed then :P I only just woke up myself, so don't feel bad!

See, I'd rather they knew and just never, ever mentioned it again. But then, that's my attitude with lots of things. I just don't want to tell them. :( I've told some of my friends but not all, and some people who are more acquaintance than friend know, too, but. :( oh well, c'est la vie.
 
I don't have rainbow stuff but I don't plan on wearing/finding any for DoS. Why need I, I can support in a different way.

I went to a college -- NIU, it was lame -- yesterday and they had big LGBT center posters everywhere. It was pretty cool.
 
Same here; if you see me online at any time before about 9am, odds are I haven't been to bed yet X3

Exactly (in relation to Harle's aunts); loads of lesbians are in happy, non-suicidal relationships, but it's so rare that the healthy relationships are allowed to carry over to the big screen. Or, often, the small screen. From what I've heard, Skins pulled off a lesbian relationship extremely well (the BBC rocks in terms of gay representation, though; Mistressess handled a lesbian storyline brilliantly, and their adaptations of Sarah Waters novels have been great), but it's still used as shock!value in the States, where they've recently has a trend of introducing a bisexual woman, let her have some unhealthy relstionships with women, and then pair her off with a man (see House, Grey's Anatomy and The O.C.).

I normally stop watching 3/4 of the way through Lost and Delirious, Loving Annabelle and Kissing Jessica Stein and pretend the girls get a happy ending.

OKAY I'm done compliaining now :)

Hehe, people buy me rainbowy stuff all the time, but I think that's more because I wear bright colours and rainbows generally than any kind of LGBT connotation. But Cirrus is completely right; LGBT people tend to see someone wearing something with rainbows as something LGBT-related, while most straight people (or at least, those without LGBT friends and such) just see it as rainbows. And your mum is so cool for getting you that :D

Milk showed for a couple of nights at our uni cinema, but I was busy both nights (one with an essay, the other with a friend's birthday) so I couldn't go ): I think the DVD'll get a wide relsease (they're selling the soundtrack in HMV), so I'll buy it when it comes out (unintentional puns, hurrah!).

Yup, I feel terrible for not coming out to my parents while I know they'll be completely fine with it, when there are poor kids everywhere who run the risk of being beaten or kicked out if their parents so much as suspect. I'm fairly sure they know, anyways (my mum's said something to the effect of "I can tell when people are gay" a few times, and she keeps borrowing books from my room when she's run out of stuff to read, and about half my reading material has at least one lesbian character, so she's probably spotted a trend - I hope to god she hasn't read anything by Stella Duffy - especially Wavewalker - because, for a murder mystery book, it has semi-pornographic sex scenes).
And when my sister and I are talking about our hypothetical futures, she has a habit of saying "when or if you get a boyfriend or girlfriend", which is sweet :3
 
I... haven't popped in here in a while, have I? I guess I just don't really have much to say about gay films because I never get to see them. Dx But, uh... I have a rainbow tie-dye T-shirt and colored bobby pins I can arrange in a rainbow, sooo that's what I wear on gay holidays~

On the subject of coming out... well, I've managed to hint so heavily about the whole "hey, I'm bi" thing that it's common knowledge, so my parents know.
 
I have this über-awesome wristband from Hot Topic (awesome store) as in this picture:
208248_hi

It's pretty awesome and I wear it when I can.
 
Yesterday the chick at the theater asked my mom if her son was under eleven.

admittedly that means i look like a preteen, but all the same.



He says, as he starts up the tinkerbell movie...
 
Verne, I've always wanted to tell you but felt weird saying it, but you look a lot like my friend Patrick. Just thought you'd like to know. *shrug*

And uh...I haven't seen any gay movies, so yeah.

I have a few rainbowy things, mainly an awesome heart-shaped keychain from SanFran, but they aren't really my style.
 
Well, for those of us with absolutely no gaydar whatsoever, it's sometimes very convenient when not-exactly-straight people give visual (if subtle) identification of their not-exactly-straightness. If nothing else, it can help avert some painfully embarassing conversations.

Plus I think rainbows look cool ;;

I laughed far too much at this. Sorry. D:
 
It happened again today but

under ten

lol :c


I don't look that much like a little kid do I

I guess I shouldn't complain. :B


I should fuck with my friend tomorrow and wear a skirt. But she'd probably be all OMG SO PRETTY!!

and also i haven't any

and also i'd rather die.
 
Not sure about the DoS, but you can normally find loads of rainbowy stuff at markets and hippy-ish shops.

I've been (somewhat obssessively) watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer recently (a decade after everyone else, I know), and I've just reached season 4, where Willow comes out and starts dating Tara and oh my god they're adorable. And have brilliant not-sex scenes (in season 4 they don't kiss, but do very... intense magic spells together that aren't subtle at all) because the writers are fantastic at getting around the censors X3
