Today my girlfriend and I were watching a stupid German soap opera (one I will not name as it is shamefully bad and nothing one should admit to watching). The show has a really bad lesbian storyline:
Girl A (with a boyfriend A) develops feelings for a friend of hers (girl B) (who's also with a guy, boy B, but boy B is gone to South America for a year or sth)
Anyway, Girl A and Girl B have sex, Girl A breaks up with boyfriend, boy A finds out his ex had sex with someone else, wants to find out who (assuming its a guy) and is completely shocked when he finds out that Girl A is a lesbian now.
Naturally he suspects the only gay girl he knows, some chick from school. Not as complicated as it sounds now, just very very cliche. Now anyways, what is the first thing a guy does when he finds out the ex he still has feelings for has been with a girl? Right. He questions his skills, reads women's magazines and asks his female friends what makes a good lover. Why can't guys just accept that attraction to women has nothing to do with guy's lack of bedroom skills?
Funnyest thing about it was my gf's comment when he was reading an article titled "What women really want in bed"
She just dryly said "Take your clothes off, look in the mirror, then you'll know why she is a lesbian"
I almost spit my food out. :lol:
BTW, there's another soap that has a lesbian couple, currently going through divorce after one of them has developed feelings for the sperm donor of their new born daughter. The other one has cheated with a woman though, so the "straight" one wasn't the bad one in this case...
Ohh and then there's yet another with a gay (male) storyline. A married guy cheating with his wife's co-worker. Grand Cinema.
Doesn't portrayal of homosexuals on TV suck?
There's also a weekly show that features both a male and a female gay couple... sounds like german TV is gay friendly, but actually it's not. Most of the storylines are poorly done and very stereotypical. As are the stright ones though... guess TV's just plain in general.
