Retrieved November 12, 2009. [ permanent dead link] Ally McBeal and Ling Woo ( Lucy Liu). These episodes are unusual in that all of the women involved are series regulars. Eminently visual; cheap, provided the actors are willing; controversial, year in and year out; and elegantly reversible (sweeps lesbians typically vanish or go straight when the week's over), kisses between women are perfect sweeps stunts. They offer something for everyone, from advocacy groups looking for role models to indignation-seeking conservatives, from goggle-eyed male viewers to progressive female ones, from tyrants who demand psychological complexity to plot buffs.

Billie Chambers ( Tiffani Thiessen) and Sara Matthews ( Jaime Pressly). Sara never reappears on the series. Ezri Dax ( Nicole de Boer) and Kira Nerys ( Nana Visitor). In the alternate universe, mirror Ezri and mirror Kira share a kiss. Maggie ( Christina Ricci) and Amanda ( Ashley Greene). Amanda comforts a sad Maggie by wiping Maggie's tears, then telling her opinion on men, and kissing her. Greene's character was recurring; her sexual orientation formed part of a recurring story arc. Maggie's reaction to the kiss was discussed in later episodes.I'm not about to put Kissing Jessica Stein in this category, because it's too weak of a queer film to be even considered. There's also Mulholland Drive, which had some very brief hot queer moments relative to its era (2001). Heavenly Creatures (1994) served the queer goth community particularly well. Sadly, that community is relatively small. Susan and her boss, Jessie; Susan and Gabrielle. Susan ( Teri Hatcher) and Gabrielle ( Eva Longoria) were series regulars; Jessie ( Swoosie Kurtz) was a guest star. Lucy Spiller ( Courteney Cox) and Tina Harrod ( Jennifer Aniston). [11] The episode hints at a former intimate relationship between the two. Tina never reappears on the series. Perhaps it’s trite to say that “representation matters,” but some things are cliché because they’re true. The first time I ever saw lesbians onscreen was when my high school’s Gay Bisexual Straight Alliance played part of the first scene of the original L Word series. (The “sweet little figs” scene, in case you were wondering—the girls who get it get it.) Even so, it wasn’t until years later, when I first saw Blue Is the Warmest Color , that I actually found a queer story that reminded me of my own. Julia Salinger ( Neve Campbell) and Perry Marks ( Olivia d'Abo). Perry appears in one additional episode.
