Thought I’d share some of my favourite wlw movies, please feel free to add your own favourites and i’ll reblog them!!! Lets share the gay.

But i’m a cheerleader (1999)

This crazy satirical comedy is, as mentioned, a satirical comedy, but between the laughs it makes many comments on the ridiculousness of the society, the dangers of conversion therapy and the importance of accepting yourself. Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall play girlfriends that meet at conversion camp and RuPaul plays a camp leader with a “straight is great” shirt. What else do you need?

D.E.B.S. (2004)

This is the early 2000s bad but amazing queer comedy that i always wanted but took me way too long to find. D.E.B.S. is a clandestine paramilitary academy for girls that are recruited through a secret test in the SAT - they basically wear ridiculous outfits and live in a sorority house while working as spies for the US government. The star student finds herself in a romance with the number one bad guy, who in fact is not a guy but a girl played by Jordana Brewster. The movie is directed, written, edited and produced by women so extra points for that.

Children’s Hour (1961)

Two friends open a private school for girls and get accused of having an affair, which leads to parents taking their children away from the school and the women becoming societal outcasts. In the end the other woman admits to herself and to her friend that she in fact does have feelings for her friend. The movie does have an extremely tragic end (as all wlw themed movies in that time had to have), but works as a strong reminder of how far we’ve come, both in the society and in wlw movies.

The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)

Set in the 90s, this movie shows how destructive conversion camps were, and still are. This movie is absolutely beautiful, my only critisism being that a disabled person is not played by a disabled person. Chloe Grace Moretz also got a lot of critique for playing a queer character, but SURPRISE she is queer and we all just assumed she wasn’t. Her queerness shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after watching this movie tho, as she is convincing (and hot) as hell.

Imagine Me and You (2005)

The bride falls in love with the florist of her straight wedding. Cheating happens in this movie, but it’s actually handled very well and the husband is the most sympathetic man in wlw movie history. This movie is one of my all time favourites, it’s warm, cute, funny and very English. Also Lena Headey.

Mädchen in uniform (1958)

Set in the 1910s Germany, the movie is about an all girls strict boarding school in which almost everyone is in love with one of the teachers, Miss von Bernburg. The new student (played by the absolutely gorgeous Lilli Palmer) falls especially deep for the teacher, declaring her love multiple times and even kissing her. The movie does not have the happiest of endings, but no one dies which was, i guess, progress.

Kyss mig/With every heartbeat (2011)

This beautiful Swedish movie takes the whole cheating thing to a new level, but it’s one of the most beautifully shot wlw movies with some of the most gorgeous shots in movie history. Many have probably seen some of the scenes of this movie on youtube, but i highly recommend watching the whole thing, as it has a great storyline and spoiler aller, a happy ending.

The world unseen (2007)

This movie is set in the 1950s South Africa during the apartheid, tackling racism, classism, sexism and homofobia all at once. It follows the love story Amina and Miriam, one of which is actively challenging the laws and regulations while the latter is scared to make any demands and follows all conventions. This movie has an almost exclusively POC cast and gives an interesting (even though depressing) glimpse at a place and time that deserves all the screen time it can get.

Anatomy of a love seen (2014)

Two actresses fall in love while playing a couple in a movie, break up in real life, and are called back to reshoot a love scene. This movie is very raw, full of feelings, great sex scenes and good chemistry. It does feel a bit like fanfiction coming to life, which i fully say as a positive thing. Maybe don’t watch this movie if you’ve just broken up, or just go for it if you feel like crying your eyes out.

Saving face (2004)

A surgeon and a dancer fall in love in New York, having to deal with the expectations and prejudges of their Chinese-American families. The early 2000s really knew how to make romcoms, since this movie has rightfully claimed its place as one of the classics.

Tumblr won’t let me add more than 10 pictures, so i’ll start with these! Please add your own, or send me your entries and i’ll add them as a reblog :)

Why don’t we bring back milk in glass jars? It’d decrease the plastic waste and the delivery people could be teenagers using bikes so it’d create jobs for local young people as well as not create car pollution

Human fingers can detect nano-size objects. This means you not only have the ability to feel a tiny bump the size of a large molecule, but if your finger was the size of Earth, you could determine the difference between a house and a car. Source

New York voted to allow non-doctors to perform abortions. You get some rando with an indeterminate amount of know-how on how the body works shoving a sharp instrument up into your very-tearable uterus. Yay, women’s rights!

can i ask if youre pro life or pro choice?

I am pro-life. I always will be pro-life. I am anti-abortion. Anti-rape. Anti-murder. Anti-euthanasia. All life is precious at all stages.

An egg by itself and sperm by itself are not new life. But once the sperm fertilized the egg, it is a whole new living being. DNA from the sperm and DNA from the egg are combined to form a new life, with different DNA than the man and woman.

The fetus is not the mother’s body. No, it is not the same as sloughing off dead skin cells. The embryo and fetus is alive and has different DNA than the woman. A fetus is not a woman’s body. I agree that pregnant women need help. I donate regularly to charities that specifically help poor/young/victims of violence women who are pregnant and in need. Killing a new life is not an answer to a previous violence or hardship.

Killing a baby in the womb because it might have a mental/physical disability is ableism. You’d rather have no baby than a baby that might develop slower than it’s peers?

It is not freeing for women. To tell women that their natural bodily functions are bad?? That they are only valuable if they take the pill and don’t get pregnant (ie: go against their natural body autonomy)??

Women are told that they arent valuable unless they sterilize themselves through the pill, contraceptives, abortion.

And when a human life becomes old and close to death, they are dumped into homes and hospitals and basically forgotten.

I have visited several retirement homes where the residents are overjoyed to have some high school class come sing them Christmas carols or paint their nails and play board games. People don’t visit them; in fact, they try to ignore their existence like they do homeless people.

All of these lives matter. All. Of. Them.

Im tired of shootings and disabled vets living on the street. Im tired of women having to struggle to provide for their children as a single mom. Im tired of people telling women that they have to sacrifice their babies to be able to be accepted into society. Im so so tired of the disposal of human life in all parts of society.

So yes, I am Pro-Life.

If that bothers any of you, you can unfollow me, because no matter what you say, I will always believe that life is important, no matter what stage of development or place in society.
