Representation

When people say representation matters, it isn't meant to matter to the audience it is not representing.

I'm prompted by a reminder of the whole Ellen is an asshole thing, and push back from people who want to laud her for being the "first out lesbian on tv" "first out lesbian to play a fictional out lesbian on a tv show". (what even is this accolade? I learned the first out lesbian on national television was Robin Tyler in 1978)

Here is how I see it:

Lesbian representation is not for anyone but lesbians.

Lesbians who grew up around the 90s or prior may not have even known themselves to be queer. But people can spot each other. Do you think lesbians were shocked when Rosie O'Donnell came out? No.

So who is "coming out" for? The individual and - in the case of celebrity - the people outside of the community who are clueless (and they don't care to begin with, otherwise they would not be clueless). But the representation is still there whether or not they come out. Fans knew even if they didn't know they knew. You're still drawn to people because animals have that sixth sense of belonging.

Personally I was far more impacted by Rosie than I was by Ellen.

I'm not trying to pit them against each other. I'm just drawing comparison between them because they were around the same time and two I am familiar with. I wasn't aware of Wanda Sykes until much later but she was around during that time I'm sure someone else could use that comparison if they were a Sykes fan at the time.

Just for me, Rosie made me feel seen and imbued me with confidence as a kid. I saw the "butch" edge that I identified with. And while I am not a lesbian today, I do believe she played a part in the confidence that allowed me to come out as lesbian when I did and even to come out as trans when I did. Confidence in yourself means confidence in All of your self. It means comfort to grow.

It also means you own it and owe nobody else and explanation of why you are the way you are. If you know, you know.

And I just want to leave these snippets here from the respective wikis of O'Donnell and DeGeneres:

"(O'Donnell's) decision to go to San Francisco to marry Carpenter was seen as a show of defiance against then-President George W. Bush over his support for the Federal Marriage Amendment. She said in 2004, "We were both inspired to come here after the sitting President made the vile and hateful comments he made ... [O]ne thought ran through my mind on the plane out here – with Liberty and Social justice for all."[145][146] The couple was married by San Francisco Treasurer Susan Leal, one of the city's highest ranking lesbian officials, and serenaded by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus.[145]"

"In response to the criticism, DeGeneres explained her friendship with Bush in a monologue on her show.[119] During the segment, she maintained that she believes personal relationships should transcend political differences and compared her friendship with Bush to her friendships with people who wear fur, a practice she does not condone."

(On an entirely unrelated but still very gey note I had to include this after i read it and cackled out loud: "In the summer of 2000, O'Donnell suffered a staph infection after she accidentally cut the middle finger of her left hand with a knife while cutting a price tag off a fishing pole.[58] The infection incapacitated her for weeks and nearly resulted in doctors amputating her hand.[159] She later quipped that George W. Bush was to blame for the infection, saying that she was preparing to go on a fishing trip at the time to avoid seeing Bush on television during the then-ongoing 2000 Republican National Convention")

they're making an a league of their own tv show!!!!!!!! ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

[yeahiwasintheshit]

i watched poor things, and it was good. i cant say i loved it or hated it. it was very showy and kinda "look at me", in terms of direction and use of camera work and different lenses... and there were color scenes and black and white scenes, it was… alot. but it also kinda worked... mostly. the production design was also wild and fun to watch. visually interesting. tho the cgi, esp of the ship was like 1990s level of bad. like dont give me that it was supposed to look like that cause of the style or whatever... it look like absolute dogshit. emma stone was really good, her performance really made the picture. mark ruffalo and willem dafoe were also great. i wont spoil any plot points, but in the beginning it was looking like her performance might be like a rosie odonnell or jodie foster or leonardo dicaprio level of yikes, but in keeping with the plot, it... progressed beyond that. it was sort of this twisting plotline that felt kinda new but also familiar, and was way more sexual than i was expecting. the movie had a sort of emmanuelle or barbarella kinda feel about sexual discovery or exploration, which was kinda fun and a little campy. overall i liked it. i dont see me watching it again, but maybe. it is over 2 hours, and man does that seem like such a long time to commit to something.

Rosie odonnell has been so open about her blackest midnight depression for so many decades and I am so grateful for that.
