Just came across this on the BBC website - from the picture, it looks more like a promo shot for that Russian pair (tatu?) than any real life lesbians I've met.
[url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11375409 ]Beeb's Sapphic Drama[/url]

I'm not suggesting all lesbians are ugly or anything, just the ones in the publicity shots look a bit more like some bloke's fantasy lesbians.

Have you ever met any real Lesbians?

They're just like other people, amazing as it might seem...

I was more laughing at the [i]"we want this to be a serious exploration of the experience of lesbian women in Glasgow"[/i]

Interestingly, the few lesbians I do know, and counting them up I do actually know quite a number, tend to speak about the gay club scene in Glasgow in pretty negative terms - a lot of them perceive it as quite exploitative.

I'd be hard pressed to think of a sexual / social demographic that I can't number somewhere amongst my friends. I've a good mate who thinks he's a polar bear, lesbians aren't exactly shocking.

The creator of a new drama based on the lives of twenty-something lesbians in Glasgow says she wanted to make sure it was authentic.

That's a whole lot of lesbians.

I see that it's on BBC3, so clearly it will be authentic and gritty drama rather than a salacious excuse for a bit of tit and fanny.

/edit note to the mods

tit should only have 3 ***, well strictly speaking none.
As it looks a bit silly that -

"I saw a great tit on my bird feeder"

gets censored, but

"I saw a great fanny on my bird feeder"

doesn't.

You forgot to put PSA on your title thread.

I'll be watching to see how true to [s]fantasy[/s] life it is.

I've been to one of the gay clubs in Glasgow with a lesbian friend. I had a fantastic night. It's like Effinchafing says, they're just like other people. Big, tall, fat, small, ugly, pretty, plain. Imagine that eh?

I used to go to Heaven nightclub in That London in the early 90s. Proper eye-opener that one. Fantastic place; really relaxed, friendly and safe.

Not quite the place to try to chat up women when E'd up to the eyeballs mind... 😀

I've a good mate who thinks he's a polar bear

I have a mate who thinks he's a Polar Bear that sleeps with both men and women. He's been diagnosed as bipolar.

Is this going to be the female version of 'queer as folk'? 😛

However, its going to have to be bloody good to transcend the heights of oranges are not the only fruit and tipping the velvet

I'm buying shares in Kleenex 😉

Good to see the usual suspects piling in to establish their credentials 🙄

Just for the sake of fairness, I posted the link to one of my chums asking her what she thought. Her reply was - [i]"LOL at the BBC lesbians. None of them have flat shoes"[/i].

What would be the correct collective noun for lesbians?

Erm, maybe 'group', as in 'a group of people'.

No?

Dunno then.

It's shocking - I mean when casting hetero romantic programmes they always have ordinary looking people rather than sexy ones.
