I saw a sad facebook post from the gay bookstore back in Ann Arbor where I used to live about how they hadn’t sold any books that day so I went on their online store and bought a couple, and while you don’t get #deals like elsewhere online, I’d love it if y’all would consider buying your next gay book from them instead of like, Amazon.
!!!!!!!
Common Language is so great. I LOVE THIS BOOKSTORE!!! support them!
Eve Salvail, model / dj / actor who became a top model in the ‘90s, treasured for her “distinctive look.” Although most sources cite a 2007 episode of America’s Next Top Model as when she came out; she was a Curve Magazine cover model in 1997 and talked about dating women in The Advocate in 2000 and declared herself a lesbian on a 2000 web show hosted by Chaunce Hayden. She also drank a lot of tequila and said her girlfriend was a supermodel. She had her first lesbian experience with a fellow beauty pageant contestant at the age of 19.
happy birthday Kristen Stewart! K-Stew’s first gig ever was shot in 1998 when she was 8. She played “girl in the fountain line” (uncredited) in the 1999 Disney channel original movie “the thirteenth year,” about a boy who turns into a merman and in doing so, drinks a shit ton of water.
I started to find butch women in movies and books and queer erotica, and they captivated me. But in those precious few portrayals, butches were paired with femmes, and that dynamic left me hopeless. Based on what I watched and read, femmes were petite, curvy, pretty women. How could I be femme if I was too tall, too broad-shouldered, too strong-jawed? How could I be femme with my flat chest and scarred face? The butches I saw in fiction didn’t want a woman like that. The one dynamic that was presented to me led me to believe I couldn’t exist in queer spaces. So I stayed in the closet, in the dark of my own doubts and insecurities.
But the quiet certainty of queerness didn’t leave me. I thought, sometimes, I’d go crazy if I couldn’t touch another woman.
“When you’re learning to face the path at your pace every choice is worth your while” // Kate Moennig in 1999 on the set of “Young Americans,” which premiered in 2000 and only lasted one season. Kate played “Jake Pratt,” a cis straight girl who pretends to be a boy in order to attend a prestigious all boys prep school and get her mothers attention.
