"Born This Way"

When I saw the link regarding "Born This Way" I thought you meant this blog: http://borngaybornthisway.blogspot.com/ I guess I'm out of the loop re: Lady Gaga :P

No worries, Kaje...

I hadn't heard of the song until I started seeing responses either! Fun site, by the way.

What about "The Owls"?

I saw a screening of Cheryl Dunye's film "The Owls" almost a year ago, and afterward she talked about it. It's a great little queer mystery film, very indie, and shoulda been on that list!

Thanks, Alexia!

I'm looking at the IMDb page now. Wow, that cast is something of a who's-who for new lesbian cinema, isn't it? Deak Evgenikos is great! The Owls looks like one to watch.
