The following web sites have caught our attention. These are sites that we visit on a regular basis (or at least wish we had the time to). We enjoy these sites for their content, their up-to-date-info, their design, their humor, or just their overall attitude. We think these sites are first-rate, and that's why we're recommending them to you. As we update we will try to add a description of each site, a category, and why we think each one is so fab.
*If you think that our site is fab and would like to link to us - please head on over to the liaisons page.




AfterEllen.com is perhaps the best location on the web to find both current and historical information about lesbian portrayal in the media. The name for the site is based upon the idea that Ellen DeGeneres' nationally televised coming out on her sitcom in 1997 was a milestone event that raised public awareness and acceptance of lesbian visibility. A goal of the contributions at AfterEllen is to make different points of view available to promote discussion about a topic. They readily provide critique on television, film, and books - as well as reporting trends and milestones of lesbian portrayal in the media. **What to check out: Interviews, Recommendations, and Satire. **Note-worthy: The quantity of links in every article to related topics on the site.




A reference of both lesbian film reviews and lesbian content in TV and film. **What to check out: NancyAmazon's informal review style. It's equal parts film history, movie recap, and personal opinion - making the reader feel like they're listening to a trusted friend discussing that movie she just saw. **Note-worthy: the HUGE listing of GLBTQ film festivals from all corners of the globe (wait, globes don't have corners....oh, well - you get the idea). **What to hope for: that the music/soundtrack section will continue to grow - it's a great start as a guide to songs from your fave les films.
