The 10 Best Lesbian Kisses On The Boob Tube

On “All My Children,” Reese and Bianca got married, creating a milestone in matrimony. The first lesbian wedding on daytime TV was a real Kleenex-fest! With enough tears of joy to float everyone’s boat, the whole affair was a beautiful spectacle and a timely push for equal rights, in light of the struggle to stop Prop 8. But dang girls, you just got hitched—we could have used some more hot action to go with those warm fuzzies! And the same sex lovin’ is headed from daytime to primetime— supposedly Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher are slated to suck face on this season of “Desperate Housewives.” It’s hard to imagine that this peck on “L.A. Law” caused such a scandal back in 1991! I’ve put a thermometer in my mouth with more passion. Anyway, all these awesome story lines combined are a clear sign that the times, well they are a changin’. So now that we’re feeling the love, here are our favorite scenes of lesbian lovin’ on TV…
1. The Women Of “The L Word” Nobody does it better. Tough girl Tasha, slinky sexpot Shane, hard body Helena, bold and beautiful Bette—oh, we can’t pick a favorite! They’re all so good at what they do. So, here’s a montage of all the ladies of “The L Word” making California even hotter. 2. Willow and Tara From “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” These two vampire slayers were also lady-killers who had the first lesbian sex scene on TV. Alas, their relationship was cut short --only the good die young, R.I.P. Tara. 3. Xena and Gabrielle from “Xena: Warrior Princess” Leather suits, long battles, and lonely nights make for the perfect lesbian love affair between these two female fighters. 4. Paige and Alex from “Degrassi: The Next Generation” Nicknamed “Palex,” this super couple was made up of the captain of the cheerleading squad and an outspoken outcast. Both dated men, but after dry humping on the dance floor, they became inseparable lovers. 5. Julia and Perry from “Party of Five” After breaking free from an abusive boyfriend, Neve Campbell’s character falls for a Sapphic sister. Her new writer girlfriend teachers her all about the book of love. 6. Ally and Ling from “Ally McBeal” After spending the night grinding at the bar, sharp-tongued Lucy Lui plants a soft one on Calista Flockhart. 7. Dax and Lenara from “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” Dax, who was a man in a past life, falls for a fellow Trill, who is the reincarnation of her old wife. Although, their law doesn’t permit falling in love with lovers from another lifetime, these two ladies just can’t help themselves! 8. Jennifer Aniston On “Friends” & “Dirt” Needs her own damn category! Back in on “Friends,” Rachel recalls kissing another girl when she was a teenager and says it was her proudest moment. When that woman, played by Winona Ryder, returns, she plants another one on her! Then, even Phoebe gets in on the kissing action. But those are not the only co-stars Jennifer Aniston locks lips with….keep reading! 9. Erica and Callie from “Grey’s Anatomy” Forget McDreamy and McSteamy, the real hotness on the show was the lesbian love affair, albeit short-lived. 10. Marissa and Alex from “The OC” Mischa Barton falls for a bartender (we’ve all been there!), but her character, Marissa, falls so hard, she confesses her lady love to her mother!

L.A. Scene April '09: "L Word" Finale Viewing, GenderPlay, Stand-Up, and Dinah

In the olden days of The L Word, periodic screenings were held at a bar called Revolver in West Hollywood. The bar was icky and devoid of seats, but lesbians would gather in throngs to watch. It was always impossible to actually hear the show because the crowd was so wild, shrieking and squealing every time two women made out or Shane appeared on screen. The majority of the audience sported sensible shoes and unfortunate hair. Lesbians in West Hollywood watching a show about lesbians in West Hollywood, giddy with the long-sought after and wildy flattering representation.
A few years ago, Revolver was closed, gutted, and transformed into East West. All the lesbians flocked to Falcon on Sunset Blvd. to watch the show, frequently alongside the actual cast and crew. The Falcon night was unrivaled until January 09, when promoter Shannon K. started a competing viewing at East West, giving the lesbian crowd something we’re not used to: options!
I chose to watch the final episode at East West because I can walk there from my apartment, and that is pretty much the sole requirement for anyone who owns a Corolla with only standard features.

Fans mourning the sixth season of "The L Word" that will bring the series to its end will be gratified to learn details of its possible spinoff.
Leisha Hailey, who plays Los Angeles journalist Alice Pieszecki on "The L Word," is heading to the slammer, Showtime president Robert Greenblatt reveals at Wednesday's (Jan. 14) TCA press tour.
Alice will be convicted of some sort of crime related to the Season Six death of the much-hated Jenny (Mia Kirshner). Hailey, who was not on set when that scene was shot, believes Alice is innocent and falsely convicted.
"That's where I stand," says Hailey, who shot the spinoff pilot over the Christmas holidays. "I was a wide-eyed, scared victim. I was walking through this brand new world that obviously I was going to be staying in for a very long time. It's going to be a lot about how I fit in.
"You're just part of the system when you get in there. You get a number and you're in with the rest of them," she says, then jokes, "My wardrobe decisions were down to one outfit."
"L Word" creator Ilene Chaiken thinks the subject of Alice's guilt, should the series get picked up, "could be an open question for a long time."
In prison, Alice encounters Laurie Metcalf, who plays the prison warden, and Melissa Leo, who is the chief correctional officer.
"Melissa Leo is not playing the character that she played many, many years ago on 'The L Word,'" says Chaiken, referring to Winnie, who was caught in a bitter custody battle with her ex. "I believe that we can get away with that given the actor that Melissa Leo is. She's a completely different person."
Another new inmate who appears in the pilot is Famke Janssen.
"Her character Valentina is in for racketeering, drugs and assault -- gang-related," says Chaiken.
If Showtime decides to proceed with the spinoff, it's hoped that the three guest stars will become series regulars. Chaiken also says that given the relationships of the "L Word" characters, it's likely they would be frequent visitors to the California prison.
And although some inmates occupy their time working out, making license plates or cooking in the kitchen, Alice may pursue her favorite hobby: working on The Chart.
"That remains to be seen," says Chaiken. "I think she might make a new chart."
