2 Sexy Girls Kiss -

Authentic romantic storylines pass the "mirror test": Could a queer woman watch this scene and see her own longing reflected with dignity? Or is it choreographed for a spectator who will never live that life?

The kiss is no longer the scandal. The relationship is no longer the secret. And the romantic storyline—with all its messy, glorious, heart-stopping beats—is finally getting the page and screen time it has always deserved.

We are seeing the first signs. Animated shows for children now include two moms. Young adult novels feature a kiss on the cover without the word "lesbian" in the title. Blockbuster films have action heroines who happen to have a girlfriend back at headquarters.
