完了完了,原来Guinevere真的是Les。怎么办呢?原来爱女人也会是这样爱的。当年看到james Dean的照片,马上就变成土著人崇拜神像的模样了。

Guinevere: "I was 18 when I first nervously acted on my jumbled attractions and 21 when I decided I was all-the-way gay."
'Advocate', 1995 January issue: (excerpt from article)
"The Audrey Hepburn of lesbians"
While Guinevere doesn't mind that being "pretty straight appearing" may have helped the film (Go Fish) get attention, she also chafes at now being called the 'Doris Day of lesbians, the poster child for goodness and positivity.'
"Doris Day? I think she's more the Audrey Hepburn of lesbians," says comedian Lea DeLaria, currently writing the foreword to the book version of Go Fish.
"Everywhere I go, lesbians want to do her. They see her as such a hot sexual item. That's how it was for Audrey Hepburn too. But Audrey had brains as well as talent, and that's why she ran UNICEF. Guinevere could do that." DeLaria pauses for a moment, then grins, adding, "Of course, I too would like to fuck her brains out!"
But whatever you do, don't call her femme. Guinevere says "For our generation and class, butch/femme has come to mean an entirely diffrent thing-and one that pisses me off a lot. When Rose and I were together, we were constantly treated by our peers like 'You're the man, you're the woman; you hammer the nails, you cook the dinner'.
I'm offended to be called femme because you're talking about what you look like, what kind of woman you go for, what you do in bed-meaning that you're a passive lover, which I would never want anyone to think, because I'm not!-and that you're looking for a butch to take care of you. I can take care of myself!"
So what do all her past girlfriends, including the current one, look like? "Butch as all hell!" she says with a delighted laugh. "That's just who I'm attracted to. But it still doesn't mean those femme sterotypes are true of me".
Today, she doesn't agonize over her looks the way she used to, taking offense if someone whispers that she looks so straight, she'll be back with guys soon. "I've reached a new realm of lesbianism now," she says. "Whatever I do, however I look, is OK."
It may be precisely because of her femme appeal that she's been able to audition for roles in mainstream movies. And the idea of playing a straight part doesn't put her off. "I have no problem with that," Turner says. "If someone thinks it's funny to put me in a straight role, the joke's on them. Lesbians play straight every day all over the world."

"Chatting with Guinevere Turner"
Do you think there has been an increase of lesbian representation since Go Fish?
I think...yes, certainly, at least for a bit there, with The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls In Love, and All Over Me, and um...gosh I just realize the other day, but on the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, do you have it there?
Oh great! I was planning on bringing up Buffy, but yeah, we get it.
I've only seen it a couple of times recently because my sister really likes it, but I had no idea there was this cute little lesbian couple on the show! And what I have seen of them, I just can't believe it's on primetime television!
The one I saw they were...(Tara's) like "Willow, are you gonna be back with boys" and (Willow's) like "I can't help it if you're the only woman I've ever been in love with." And "So you think I'm gonna split back to boys-ville?" I don't know if you're as current as last week, but now Tara's retarded cause they stuck fingers in her brain and she's messing everything up, which is kind of a bummer. (laughs)
Okay, back to the interview...how do you feel about the current trend in the mainstream media, I think especially on television, where they use lesbian sexuality, like two girls kissing, to boost the raitings for the week?
Aside from the two episodes of Buffy that I watched, and The X Files and the Simpsons, I don't watch any television, so I always miss out on this drama. But I saw Ally McBeal once, and I just cannot identify in any way, shape or form, with Ally McBeal character. She's just such a sad and pathetic depiction of a woman. But I think its a time honored tradition, the lesbian titillation, to jumpstart...just to get everyone's attention, and it gets absolutely nowhere and it has nothing to do with lesbians.
Does it piss you off in some way?
Well it wouldn't piss me off as it probably would have 10 years ago, but I just find it gross, I find it predictable. I just find it sort of...just LAME, you know what I mean? (laughs) it's like... "oh, not again!" And I wonder...do heterosexual women see that? I would imagine it would do nothing for them, and those are people who are watching shows like Ally McBeal. Who knows? Maybe they're all gay men going (high pitched tone) "ooh...go girls!" (laughs)
Do you think that censorship also limits realistic representations of lesbians? I know that the censorship boards are usually a lot more sensitive to sexuality than violence.
I've been thinking lately that...cause I think "God, haven't we gotten to a point yet where we can have a super lesbian kiss on TV that's in the context of relationship, or two people getting together and not just some stupid subplot or dream sequence or whatever?"
I feel like we have come so far, gay and lesbian representation seems to be really...you know, we have Will and Grace and blah blah blah, but then I think, I forget that the two places I have spent the most time in, New York and Los Angeles, are urban environments.
I am not exposed to any fanatic Christians, I'm not exposed to what maybe most of this country is about, which is really traditional values and a lot of homophobia, and it's about money for those TV shows and stations. They can't take the risk that these people are gonna say "I'm not watching CBS anymore" or advertisers pulling out. It's about nobody wanting to take the risk.
