But I’m a Lesbian Two lesbians. Two mics. Endless hot takes.
This week, we’re diving into The Watermelon Woman, the first feature film directed by a Black lesbian (Cheryl Dunye, talk about superstar status). Join us as we discuss the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality (in as fun of a way as possible)! We go over the movie's DIY filmmaking realness, as well the chaotic lesbian archivist energy that fuels this groundbreaking mockumentary. We’re talking representation, video stores (RIP), and the benefits of obsessing over an actress from decades past. Also, we talk about Jell-O shots, fashion inspo, and Storme DeLarverie (iconic butch in WLW History)!
But I’m a Lesbian is hosted and produced by Katlynn Beatty and Angelina Herrera. Production and Mixing by Victoria Shifflett. Creative direction and video editing provided by Juanita Iriarte. Music by Stiletto Falsetto
