Let’s be honest, in the history of tellyland we’ve been pretty starved for lady-loving ladies. Over in the states they’ve had it even worse than us. In my lifetime (shurrup down the back) the first lesbian couple on TV were Beth Jordache and Margaret Clements in Brookside back in 1993, American audiences had to wait until Tara put a spell on Willow in 2000. But who are your favourite? Vote and let us know.

For those of us who get very attached to fictional characters on TV, and in books, and are gutted when our favourite character is killed off or gets married to some man, fan fiction writers are at the ready to put that smile back on our face.
Every type of story is out there, some good and some not so good but well done to those who write them for giving us the stories we crave.

Many of us can still remember long before Bette and Tina, or even Helen and Nikki, to a time when TV was deviod of lesbianiam.
Have we really come on as far as we think or are we still watching programs week in week out for the chance of one small story line?

Is watching TV on TV a dead duck? I for one am now addicted to YouTube where we can enjoy all the lesbian storylines from around the globe, some nice lesbian is always out there to put subtitles up for us.

It’s very rare that a mainstream TV show has a lesbian storyline that you actually care about. Well, it’s highly unusual for me anyway! I normally find the gay characters that come in and out of weekly dramas to be two-dimensional at best and the stories they are in to be weak with very little chemistry.

A quick run-down of the things not hitting the headlines because men and women in bad suits are too busy wittering on about the economy. There is good news as well as bad, for example in the UK Gordon Brown supports equality yet a gay man is killed in a homophobic attack.

Ladies, our voices have been heard. Yes, Lez the Leprechaun is back in Sky Movies. How do I know? When you see Boys Don’t Cry and Nina’s Heavenly Delights, you know that order has been restored.

Lots of delicious helpings of Mariska (above) as Olivia Benson in Law & Order SVU this week, and the lesbian leprechaun in Sky Movies is still ensuring we get some fabulous faggy fare. I have to find out who she is and buy her a drink or two.
