Lisa Ann Walter as Blanche in The Ladies (Short 2022) dir. Jill Gutowitz
Bro that’s literally a Wattpad story
Just give me a splash of oat milk and a girl in red playlist; I’ll be good to go.
Jill Gutowitz, from “Kill the Creator of Entourage in Your Head”
“When I was a teen, the word ‘lesbian’ sent fear rattling through my flesh tomb. As a teenage closet case, I actively participated in homophobia; I was scared about homosexuality because I was uneducated about it, wholly unexposed to LGBTQ people, both in the small, conservative, Catholic bubble of a hometown I was raised in and in the media I was consuming. I was born in 1991, a time when LGBTQ people were being reduced to stereotypes, pigeonholed into outdated narratives, shamed for fucking and loving and wearing oversize Umbro shorts — none of which we should apologize for. If I had any exposure to queerness in the 90s and early aughts, it was via one-dimensional depictions of gay men — a gay best friend on Sex and the City, a tragic victim of the AIDS crisis — but as far as queer female figures and stories go, the media landscape in my youth felt barren.”
Jill Gutowitz, Girls Can Kiss Now
"Coming out as gay opened me up to a whole new realm of possibility, of people and art and movements to admire; I fell in love with femininity. Sure, I fell in love with actual women, like, the people. But coming out frees you in ways that I'm not sure any straight person ever fully experiences."
