I overheard a co-worker discuss the representation of lesbians in romantic movies/TV shows/ etc, and he felt that lesbians didn't get a fair portrayal. Lesbians were either represented by hetero pop fantasies (the curse of the lipstick lesbians), or portrayed as grunting behemoths. Hetero versions of lesbians aren't likely to be fair and balanced, but do hetero fantasies consist solely of the mythical lipstick lesbian? lesbian dream girls can be pretty hard to define (or find for that matter). Are lesbian fantasies solely limited to scantily-clad underwear models having pillow fights? Lesbian dating sites should give most people a clue, but unfortunately realistic portrayal s of lesbians often fall on deaf ears.
