Lesbian : September 2008 Archives

It's been clear for some time now that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are a couple but they've never really said anything about it publicly. They finally did so this week in a real casual way.

Here is an account of how it happened, according to AfterEllen.com,

After months of refusing to comment on the public speculation about their relationship, actress Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson finally publicly confirmed their relationship in a L.A. radio call-in show last night, in a short, casual exchange confirming that they've been together "a very long time."

Lohan and Ronson called into the radio show Loveline last night to chat with DJ Ted Stryker about DJ AM's recent survival of a plane crash that killed four other passengers.

In wrapping up the conversation, Stryker casually asked Lindsay on air, "Now, you guys, you and Samantha have been going out for how long now? Like two years? One year? Five months? Two months?" Lohan responded, "A long...a very long time."

"I hope you guys stay together, you're a very lovely looking couple," Stryker added, to which Lindsay replied, "Thank you very much."

Anyone who saw this episode knows it had Emmy written all over it. Out actress Cynthia Nixon played a woman with multiple personalities on an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" last fall and was just stunning as she segued from one persona to another. Not many actresses could have pulled it off but Cynthia did and at Saturday's Creative Arts Emmys, she won for outstanding guest actress in a drama.

It;s the second Emmy for Cynthia who won her first trophy in 2004 for playing Miranda on "Sex and the City." She also won a Tony Award a few years back for the Broadway play "Rabbit Hole."

Congratulations to Cynthia!

The Advocate' s Anne Stockwell caught up with Heather Matarazzo and Caroline Murphy at a same-sex wedding expo and they talked about how their romance got started, why tuxes on women are sexy, and why both partners should get to propose.

On their meeting:
Caroline: "I went outside to smoke a cigarette, and she came out, and it was like this very across-the-room, time stopped -- "

"It was soul-to-soul recognition," Heather added. "I don't think I'll ever be able to explain it, but it's fun to try. It was like my soul knew before my thinking self realized what was going on."

Caroline resumed, "And I was looking at [Heather's recurring character] Stacy Merkin from The L Word. And I was like really upset at some of the choices that that character had made, in terms of upsetting the veterinarian woman. So I was thinking, Damn you, Stacy Merkin! And Heather came up to me and said, 'Do I know you from somewhere?' And I said [gruffly], 'Possible. Not likely.' And I walked off! And I took a few steps away and went, 'What did I just do?'"
