In the Australian movie All About E Elmira and Trish are in love but not all runs smoothly for the couple in this lesbian interest storyline because of cultural differences and levels of maturity. 

Trish challenges Elmira (known as E) about coming out to her family but E feels ashamed and tries to hide who she is from them. 

E makes the fatal relationship mistake of sleeping with someone else and things go downhill from there.

Fast forward a year and E and her gay pal Matt are on the run having inadvertently found a stash of money belonging to Johnny the boss at the nightclub where E is a DJ.

After exhausting all possibilities of places to hide E eventually goes to Trish for help. Trish agrees to let them stay for a couple of days on her farm in the Australian outback.

It is an opportunity for the couple to get back on track and after reconnecting it looks like they might. Unfortunately Johnny who leaves no stone unturned figures out where they are and comes after them.

E has to then decide what is more important to her the money or reconciling with the woman she loves.

Mia and Danni hit the big screen back in 1996 in the indie Australian lesbian interest movie Love and Other Catastrophes. 

Starring Frances O’Connor as Mia and Radha Mitchell as Danni. 

I thought it was about time that I brought them back from relative obscurity given that there is a whole generation who may not have seen them before so I created a highlights video of the best parts of their story. 

You can view it on the Lesbians Watch YouTube channel under the Mia and Danni Playlist.

I have just begun uploading a lesbian interest series on my YouTube channel featuring the love story between Miranda and Chloe from the Secret Life of Us. This is a well-loved TV series in Australia and New Zealand but is not widely known outside these countries.

The Secret Life of Us was a groundbreaking TV show back in its day for all sorts of reasons: good storylines, interesting characters and set in St Kilda, Melbourne. 

TSLOFUS series was one of the first Australian TV shows not to have all the usual tropes that we often see in lgbtq+ storylines. The show gave gay characters storylines other than just being gay. In the first three seasons there are a number of gay male characters. Miranda and Chloe feature in Season 3 of the show. What was great to see was that Miranda’s friends simply accept that Miranda is with a woman without any commentary or discussion about suddenly being gay even though she had previously dated men.

Miranda and Chloe fall for each other over time and the whole relationship appears to be an outgrowth of liking each other and spending time. Apart from some early interest in Chloe in the first episode from Miranda’s flatmate which she soon puts the kibosh on there is no annoying triangulation to detract from their sweet love story.
