You see this picture here? It’s Lindsay Lohan, cuddling up to her girlfriend, who has been sporting a substantial hickey on her neck apparently applied by the troubled Linds herself.
That’s right — one of Hollywood’s most famous young starlets is openly involved in a same-sex relationship, and no one seems to care!
I am so thrilled by this development. Could it mean that finally, the world has turned a corner and the sexual preferences of movie stars are simply irrelevant now? Or am I being naive?
Could it be that no one cares because:
A. Lindsay’s career is dead so what does it matter who she’s banging since she may never star in another movie again.
B. They are girls and everyone likes the notion of a little girl-on-girl action, and if it was Jake Gyllenhaal sitting there nuzzling some hot young cute guy, all hell would break loose.
C. WOULD it be an entirely different story if it were a young male star and his young male lover?
D. Does everyone hate Dina Lohan so much that the notion of Lindsay’s sexual proclivities bothering her has caused us all to root for Lindsay and hope and pray that she emerges as the lesbian poster child of her generation, dashing her mother’s pathetic dreams that she settle down and have babies with someone like Clooney after making billions of dollars for Dina.
Please debate!

Sadly, I think it’s because her career has probably jumped the shark. But as Robert Downey, Jr., has proven, if you got talent, you can still rise above the sea of mediocrity that is Ho’wood and have a career again.
It’s just that rebirth by fire is required.

I think nobody cares b/c heteros who do not understand teh tomboys, like MacLoserBoy (who knows of what I speak), will just assume that SamRon is a guy anyway. Boo, hiss.
May 15, 2008 at 3:20 pm
I think it has to do with your pretty pretty girl showing a classy side uncharacteristic of most young ladies experimenting with this kind of thing. They seem to just hang out together instead of go and, like, pole dance and make out like Paris Hilton and Elisha Cuthbert.
I think it’s adorable and they’re not being trashy, so there’s not a whole lot for the tabloids to pick up on. Ergo, the general public isn’t interested.
May 15, 2008 at 3:29 pm
I have been really surprised for awhile now that this isn’t bigger news. Really glad, but really surprised nonetheless.
Reminds me of when Frank declares he’s gay for Jamie on 30 rock — Lutz tries to make fun of it, but no one pays attention and they realize its not a big deal.
Maybe it’s because people assume she’s bisexual. Wait, is bisexuality more accepted by the scandal hungry?
And I bet if it were dudes, if it were Shia LaBeouf, it’d be a much bigger deal.

1. Thanks and all, Trixie.
2. “banging”…vulgar.
3. Her career is not over, it has NOT jumped the shark. Give her a chance.
4. Dina sucks.
5. Paris and Elisha are skanky.
6. I want to brush Lindsay’s hair and, maybe, steal her tomboy.
You know, being a lesbian is all chic and stuff, and, at her age, people assume she is just experimenting, so nobody is making a big deal of it. She needs to just live her life and keep her relationship to herself, and she will grow up smart and fabulous just like Jodie Foster.
If she IS experimenting, I will be glad to take Samantha off her hands.
She is going to be JUST FINE.
May 15, 2008 at 3:39 pm
I agree with all the above comments, and I just have to say, that picture is adorable.
May 15, 2008 at 3:43 pm
BAng: I should have said that do people CONSIDER her career over, so they don’t care. That’s what I meant.
I’M SORRY! DON’T EXECUTE ME!
May 15, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Trixie: BanHamBanExecuteBan….nah, I like ya too much. I will give you a pass THIS time.
May 15, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Hey, BAng: I would not consider her career slow down a bad thing. Obviously, it was damaging and soul sucking as it was and she can move on to other things that will make her happy.
Being an actress is only ONE thing a woman can be in this world. It’s not an occupation with consistency or stability, two things she needs right now. I think LiLo should “lay low” for a while and seek out other options rather than photo ops. Seychelle islands are nice, I hear. No pappa-nazis there.
It would be great to see her rise to Jodie Foster heights, but her trajectory has not been like Jodie’s thus far.
May 15, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Hey, look, the avatars changed again! Now I’m a pink triangle. Should I take this as a sign? Should I start singing Weezer to myself?
May 15, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Cate: Clearly you are now a lesbian, wear that pink triangle with pride.
May 15, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Bangieb: Well, I did just announce over on Jez that I was going lezebel for Angelina Jolie, so it makes sense.
May 15, 2008 at 4:32 pm
It is nice to see the pretty pretty girl looking happy and in love. I too am weirded out by the lack of media attention paid to this, but I am taking it as a good sign. Maybe people just don’t give a shit and will leave us queers alone to make out.
May 15, 2008 at 4:37 pm
As I’ve said a million times before, I love these two together. I love that she seems to be in a stable relationship with someone who actually cares about her and isn’t likely to dump her next week and then blab about how she is in bed to US and Star. And I love that no one’s making a big deal about the fact that they’re both women. I don’t know if it would be different if it were two men, but I think the more this happens, and the more celebs feel like they can be out and live their lives, the better things will be. They are our role models, after all.
May 15, 2008 at 4:42 pm
This is the first that I have heard of this and frankly could care less.
I just saw this afternoon that CA Supreme Court overturned the ban on same sex marriages. It’s about time.
May 15, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I would also like to mention that I am in favor of Jake Gyllenhaal nuzzling some hot young cute guy. My one complaint with Brokeback Mountain: not enough boy on boy action.
May 15, 2008 at 5:34 pm
@Fashion Sensi:
First of all, it’s that you “couldn’t care less”, because I believe you are saying that you don’t care at all.
Secondly, if you don’t care about my pretty, pretty girl, then just don’t say anything.
Such as.
May 15, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Who can blame Lilo? Tomboys are awesome.
Or so I’ve heard.
May 15, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Well, you saw three last month…whadda ya think? I say AWESOME.
May 15, 2008 at 5:51 pm
1. Hot pick up artist.
2. Hot knife artist.
3. Hot automotive artist.
I think I’m in love. I’ve, uh, never felt this way before.
Hold me.
May 15, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Ooh, ooh! Which one is mine? Has to be the pick-up artist.
So, I think tomboys like Sam seem harmless and a little baffling to hets (I say hets with affection.), and so they just kind of make nice or are puzzled but not enough to do anything other than let it slip from the grasp of their ADHD-addled brains.
That, or there’s an understood, quiet reverence for the salvation of Lindsay, as guided by Sam.
May 15, 2008 at 6:55 pm
I think that Lindsay can still come back. I think she needs to take a slightly longer break, and then find a good film; I do think she has talent.
I cannot stand Dina.
I think that with SamRom, there is obviously great affection, and they are not afraid to be seen together– people respect that. If it were two guys, yeah I think it might be different for them, and that is sad.
I am bisexual, so Linds and SamRom certainly don’t upset me. Finding happiness with someone can only help Lindsay with stability, renewing her career, and recovering from the effects of her nutty mother.
May 15, 2008 at 6:58 pm
Every time I think I’ve got a firm grasp on the definition of ‘tomboy,’ it slips away. And I’m still mystified and curious about BAngieB’s reference to “straight girlfriend” reference from an earlier Lindsey/Sam thread.
Any of you fucking dykes want to clear things up for me?
May 15, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Samantha Ronson is a tomboy. Skinny’s GF is a tomboy. Basically, girls who dress like boys…but there’s more to it than the clothes, obviously.
My straight girlfriend acts as a surrogate date when I’m single – class reunion, for instance – or will go with me and act like she’s all about me if I’m going somewhere where my evil ex might be. Sometimes straight girls get crushes on lesbians and there is a relationship, but they are actually straight and then there’s trouble.
Maybe someone else can explain it better.
May 15, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Okay, so my working definition of tomboy was correct. And your explanation of the straight girlfriend makes sense as well. (That’ll probably be me at some point in my life…)
Thanks, BAngieB.
May 15, 2008 at 8:07 pm
Skinny: Yours is the knife artist. I thought she had skills? Or at least some hot knives?
The other M is the pickup artist, who literally picked me up. Strong she is.
May 15, 2008 at 9:55 pm
TRIXIE!? Did you tag that picture “reformed skanks”?
You are dead to me.
May 15, 2008 at 10:11 pm
@BAngieB: I was referring to Samantha, of course!
May 15, 2008 at 10:28 pm
WHAT? SAMANTHA IS NOT SKANKY. THESE ARE SINROO CAPS. I’M DONE WITH YOU.
May 15, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Kadinksy? Who do I write to for complaints? Can I be the moderator? I want Trixie banned.
Didn’t you read my threats? I will reach through the internets and pinch your head off, such as.
May 15, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Nice fingers, by the way. Sexy!
May 16, 2008 at 12:12 am
Oh, you two. Kiss and make up, already.
May 16, 2008 at 12:19 am
Trixie knows I love her even when she is wrong.
May 17, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Val! I get it now. Mine does have a rather sexy collection of knives, yes. We can haz them at the FDARR Honeymoon Leztravaganza in 2009!
