by Punschkrapfen Wednesday I’ve spent the evening complaining to my Grindr-using male friends that there’s no female version. A bi girl friend of mine is similarly dismayed. We’ve been banging on about this for months. She downloaded idate gay a month or so ago, and the nearest girl she found was in California.
by Punschkrapfen Since its launch three months ago, some 50,000 users have downloaded the Qrushr Girls app and created profiles. Roughly the same as the famous men’s dating app for iPhone, Grindr, it finally brings iPhone-enabled cruising to lesbians.
by Fairy Cake TMC like to think we know our readers quite well. For example, we know that most of you (apart from those occasional mac-wearing gentlemen who click through to our site hoping to find videos of lesbians wrestling in deserts) are ladies who like ladies.
by Sticky Toffee Pudding Ah, do you remember the good old days when rather than pluck up the courage to talk to the sexy, sweaty lady you’ve been making eyes at at the gym, you instead creep up to her exercise bike after she’s departed and surreptitiously sniff the section where her, er… ‘front derrière’ has [...]
So whatever happened to Lip Service: BBC3′s foray into the complex, too often cringe-worthy world of lesbian entanglement? Their promise of a British L Word seems to have drained away over time, much like my respect for Jenny Schechter did circa 2006/2007. (Seriously, she wasn’t THAT bad in season one!) According to their website Lip Service was set to hit our screens in Spring 2010. So what’s going on?

The recent spat between A. A. Gill and Clare Balding got me pondering the too-often-ignored social lubricant that is lesbian etiquette. Not the ‘take off your nail-varnish pre-fisting’ variety, but the sort of thing that gets straight people invited to gay parties; the stripes you gotta earn to be a male guest at the Candy Bar or a gay girl’s BFF. … Continue Reading

Queerbashing is hardly deemed the stuff of the intellectual elite. And yet the prestigious Sunday Times is the latest publication to be accused of publishing offensive and homophobic material in what has swiftly become a national scandal. For those who are yet to hear the sordid ins and outs of this particular jockey-versus-columnist squabble, it goes something like this: … Continue Reading

Logging onto my facebook after two weeks of stalking-less bliss, I was eager to see what my friends had been up to. Since the weekend past was the gay pilgrimage that is Brighton Pride, I rolled through the obligatory photo ops, the (let’s be honest) prurient patrons and the myriad rainbow umbrellas that are Pride staples, and then came to a rather interesting post about the commercialization of pride, which questioned whether commercial sponsors are desirable or, to be more frank, necessary at such events. … Continue Reading

While the gays of California (along with many happy gays all over the globe) were celebrating the overturning of Prop 8 (California’s ban on gay marriage), the lesbians of East London (and their chums) were doing everything but being matrimonial at Dalston Superstore. … Continue Reading

‘But, she’s not even fit’ says a certain straight male friend, ‘I don’t get all the nudity and stuff if she’s not fit.’ And so it is that the debate of Lady Gaga and her appeal to the queers and weirdos of the world rises again.
To those of us looking in from the outside of the sugary, fluffy world of mainstream pop culture, Gaga’s appeal is exactly that; although she’s still a skinny, middle-class white girl like the rest of the pop tart army, she’s not ‘conventionally’ attractive. … Continue Reading

It was a bit surreal watching Holly Miranda take to the stage at Truck Festival. About an hour before, the singer songwriter and I had been holed up in a too-hot van, discussing Motown and mosh-pit etiquette; her, a delicate-looking 27 year old with no ego, no attitude, and a quiet Yank drawl that my shitty dictaphone struggled to pick up over the backstage buzz. … Continue Reading

We wanted to make this film for the same reason we wanted to make the website – to capture a tiny essence of the people and the culture that’s blooming up around the gay scene right now. We love it and this is just a 140 second homage.
