Hmmmm... Hillary the Power-Dyke! It's got a nice ring to it.

It’s the biggest milestone in lesbian her-story since the closing of the Cubby Hole! The ladies of Lesbos have finally done it—something that Gertie Stein and Alice B. Toklas could never have imagined! On the evening of Feb. 25, the dykes invaded Hollywood. Shock and awe! Next stop: the World.
There were more lesbians rocking the house at the 79th Academy Awards than at the Dinah Shore Open. And, trust me, they were not there just to rig lights and provide security. These gals were hosting, vamping, performing songs, being nominated for awards—and winning!—and they were positively chewing up that red carpet with their non-stop glamour. After initially seeming like a crazy fiction—something marginal produced merely for the delectation of straight men—The L-Word has now become a reality.
For whatever reason, the lesbian has become, virtually overnight, a culturally central symbol of power, glamour and success. This has huge implications for politics, and for Hillary Clinton in particular. Hil! Come out of the closet—right now! Or at least pretend to. As a grumpy hetero woman, your chances were always slim; as a power dyke, you could be a Hollywood-funded shoo-in. Just take a good hard look at what went down (pardon the expression) on Sunday night.
There were Oscar-winning glamour dykes in blue chiffon (Jodie Foster in Vera Wang) and siren dykes in backless, booty-cupping satin (Portia de Rossi in Zac Posen).
There were drop-dead femme dykes in red bustiered, beaded numbers—costume-designer nominee Patricia Field in her own creation—and Oscar-winning butches performing in Johnny Cash suits: Melissa Etheridge in Domenico Vacca. (Hillary! This would be a great inauguration look for you, luv!)
And then there was our magnificent hostess, Ellen DeGeneres, who kicked off the proceedings in a claret velvet Gucci Sammy Davis Jr.–style suit.

Tasteless headline.
IBTZ!

"Oscar winner Helen Mirren conjured up all kinds of wild lezzy scenarios by telling Barbara Walters that, during the course of filming The Queen, she had “fallen completely in love with Her Majesty.”"
Pity they can't separate their genital proclivities from fondness, regard, admiration, or agape. ~Rather childish preoccupation...

If I remember my bible studies correctly, doesn't vaca mean "sh*t."
(OK, that's not the word they used in bible studies.)

i thought the headline was funny.
So what?
I blame everyone that watched it.
Yeah, humans are funny that way.
That's because you have a sense of humor.
Jodie Foster is a lezbo?
Doonan himself is an out of the closet queer so I guess this is ok.
For what?
Article is written by a gay man. They can do no wrong.
Who cares if lesbians appear in public? (If they're of the femme persuasion, I rather like it... :)
That's a shame.
"empowering" lesbians.
