Top 15 TV Characters Who Might as Well Have Been Lesbians

**I originally posted this list in February of '08 but I thought I'd bring it back**

What do you think of my list? I didn't include anyone from Charmed, Xena or Buffy cause the list would have been a mile long:-)

15. Wednesday Addams (The Addams Family)

Morbidly emo lesbian.

14. Clarissa Darling (Clarissa Explains it All)

She had a horny dude climb through her window each night and he never got ANY. Wonder why.

13. Kimmy Gibler (Full House)

Totally in love with DJ. No doubt in my mind.

12. Evie Garland (Out of this World)

Her super power involved pressing the tips of her fingers together to stop time. Uh huh. Dyke.

11.Murphy Brown

She had a baby on her own. SO GAY.

10 tie. Cagney and Lacey

They were totally doin' each other in that cop car.

9. Blossom

I bet Six' fast tongue wasn't that annoying all of the time.

8 tie. Kate & Allie

Domestic Partnership.

7. Grace Kelly (Grace Under Fire)

Beer-drinkin, wise-crackin' lesbian.

6. Daria (Daria)

Intelligent, brooding animated lesbian.

5. Olivia Benson (Law & Order: SVU)

DUH.

4. Darlene Connor (Roseanne)

Just DUH.

3. Denise Huxtable (The Cosby Show)

This is what I like to call wishful thinking.

By the way, damn:


2. Jo Polniaczek (The Facts of Life)

Blaire was her bottom bitch.

1. Punky Brewster

Pussy Punky Power!
...and by the way...damn:

Eliza Dushku as Faith on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

So gay. C'mon Arlan.

Anonymous said...

I agree with everyone. I had a big crush on jo when I first saw the facts of life. tehee

Anonymous said...

Actually the original premise of Kate & Allie was that they were pretending to be Lesbians in order to afford their rent :P

I tried to find the youtube clip of it but it has been reomved :(

Anonymous said...

also for the eliza dushku coment . in the begning of bring it on lol very dyke those two bitchy girls called her one i think lol also hello Heather Matarazzo she played in princess diaries. the l word and know shes in exes & ohs

sandra said...

you couldn't have been more on point! when i watched all these shows-all these girls were my girlfriends in my mind! yumm

Anonymous said...

i think you're missing alex mack from the secret world of alex mack played by larissa oleynik, i probably didn't spell that right.

Anonymous said...

i agree with everyone on this list, although i think sabrina from charlie's angels definitely should have been on it too

Anonymous said...

Personally.. I think Calleigh and Natalia from CSI: Miami should get together.
I mean.. they're both amazingly beautiful.. and between the two of them, they've probably slept their way through the entire Miami building *anyway*. So.. you know.. they should just go after each other. Makes for a good plot line.. and.. yeah.

Anonymous said...

Actually, Sara Gilbert who played Darlene on Rosanne is gay. =] but I think the character should have been too.

Unknown said...

I wish wish wish Jo from the facts of life was gay. God, I still watch that show when it's on just to see her! =] And DUH for Darlene... you are so right! =]

Anonymous said...

I would add Brenda Morgenstern, Sabrina Duncan and Endora

Anonymous said...

Xena and Gabrielle from Xena (of course) are number one on my list. But heh, if you included EVERYONE from Xena the list would be a mile long. No need for Buffy, cause Callisto and all those Amazons would fill their spots like *that* ;-)

Anonymous said...

Oh....and how could we forget Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence?

Anonymous said...

OMG BLOSSOM AND CLARISSA. I miss those shows so so much and no one here outside of my family ever knows what i'm talking about if I mention Blossom. Her and the Cosbys were my reasons to turn on the tv. Oh man. And you opened my eyes with a lot of these tv characters, who now I look at it, are most definitely the gay.

A journey of sixty miles... said...

I'm so glad someone said Buddy Lawrence! I got on here just to add her to the list. Also, Sarah Sidle (CSI) is an obvious one. How about Dr. Lisa Cuddy (House)?

pk. said...

Olivia do me!!!!
RESPECT.

And on Lisa Cuddy, yes please!

Liz said...

Kimmy was TOTALLY in love with DJ! Oh man, I love Kimmy.

Mariska Hargitay (oliva benson) hands down!!! I've had dreams that involved her... niiice dreams :D if i ever found out she was bisexual(for those of you who dont know she is married to a MAN and has a baby... what a shame...) I would so throw myself at her

Anonymous said...

hahaha best blog ever!!!! and olivia benson mmmmmmmmm

Motozulli said...

Wednesday Addams! Totally. well, as played by Christina Ricci. Wednesday was my girlfriend in middle school.

Anonymous said...

What, no Dana Scully?! Have you seen the woman shoot a gun?! :)

Anonymous said...

I agree on everyone that you have but There's only 3 other women I can think of that you don't have.....

1) Jordan Cavanaugh (don't remember her real name) from "Crossing Jordan"

2) Tia Texada playing Sgt Cruz from "Third Watch"

3) Lisa Vidal playing Sandy Lopez on "ER"

Unknown said...

All of you who are drooling over Olivia may as well give it up. Mariska has been very adamant about neither her nor Olivia being gay. Too bad, cause I swear when that one DA was killed off (but not really) they played it like she and Olivia were too close for just friends.

'Kandy'- Heather Matarazzo is gay. I suppose that's got something to do with why she did The L Word, but couldn't swear to that. She's said how it was weird that when her character in "Dollhouse" was called a lesbian, she didn't know what it meant. Then a few years later...

Man, I must be gettin' old cause I don't know who half these chicks are. I did think Jo was gay though when that show was on. I also think Christina Ricci's Wednesday was more gay than the TV one.

olivia benson...DUH

i love it.

the list says it all!

Anonymous said...

I so Love Olivia Benson. It would be nice if Mariska Hargitay was really gay. A girl can dream.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

So, denise and darlene ... you definitely got the two i've alwaysss suspected on the list =] made me feel better knowing it wasn't just me thinking so.

random said...

My first every girl crush was on darlene. I couldn't understand why I loved the episodes that were about her so much. Yum.

Brooklynn :) said...

haha you were so spot on arlan!


btw...punky...DEFINITELY grew up...well if I might add ;)

Anonymous said...

amazing!
though Olivia Benson would have been at the top of my list.
and Scully from x-files for sure.
just damn!

Anonymous said...

I loved Jo!!! And Dee (wisecracking sister) and Shirley (butch comedian) from "What's Happening?" would've been on my list! Black lesbians represent!

Anonymous said...

Jo was just *so* gay. I still have such a crush on Nancy McKeon lol

A few additions I'd make:

Dana from Step by Step
Sabrina from Charlie's Angels
Sophia & Sara from CSI
KC & McMurphy from China Beach

Heather_Angel_23 said...

Ummmmm.....HELLO? What about Velma from Scooby Doo?

Anonymous said...

Great list.

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

i think the actress that played Blossom is a lez in real life.

Anonymous said...

i looked on wiki and blossom is married and has a child lol to bad

Unknown said...

Yeah, I had a little crush on Jo back in the day. Always thought Darlene came off as gay too. But I wish Calleigh Duquesne(sp?) from CSI Miami was on this list. She is yummmmmmm..........

Unknown said...

And I agree with JJ about Jordan Cavanaugh (played by Jill Hennesy who has a twin sister by the way). She's been in my fantasies too! Grrrrrr!

Anonymous said...

Very clever...

Julie for WOW!

Anonymous said...

This might be my favorite post. thanks! I would add Daria from MTVs animated series. And I had a huge crush on Wednesday Adams when Christina Ricci played her in the 1990's one. As well as Marcia Brady in the 90's spoof of the Brady Bunch. Wow, we could all go on and on....

Anonymous said...

Yes x1,000,000, especially to Olivia and Darlene. One addition I'd make is Max from "Picket Fences" but that might just be my fantasy...

Anonymous said...

the one about clarissa is classic! LOL!

Seriously people Busy from Ready or not during the 90s. SO GAY ^_^
Canadian <33

The writers of SVU actually admitted to throwing a little hoyay in there to tease the fans between Alex and Olivia *sigh* I miss those days.

On Family Guy, Jo comes out of the shower and goes "Mrs. Garret, is it okay if your penis touches your vagina?" and Mrs. Garret goes "You have booooooth?!" Classic.

Anonymous said...

I'd hav 2 add Samantha from "Who's the Boss" and her friend actress Leah Remini played. They were both cute, and still are hot today!

Sarah-the-Yente said...

Alex Mack from the Secret World of Alex Mack!

Anonymous said...

punky brewster and Denise huxtable are both HOT in real life!!!! did you know that Lisa Bonet has a myspace?

http://www.myspace.com/lisabonet_world

It says SHE LIVES IN SF!!!! I live in the bay area but have never seen her...I don't know what I would say to her if I met her since (1) she is breathtaking and (2) I am shy around all girls that are even remotely pretty to me.

lol :-)

Anonymous said...

haha i love this list!
I don't even know why they tried with Darlene.
David was one of the girliest guys ever too.

And as for Jo...c'mon people...

A. Smith said...

OMG that is so fantastic. No one ever knows what I'm talking about when I talk about "Out of this World"!

Again, you rock my world.

nerdmafia said...

okay, denise huxtable? you just know she "experimented" in college...i bet it really was A DIFFERENT WORLD!!!

Anonymous said...

Some of your choices are a bit questionable but Jo, definetly Jo!! The facts of life used to be one of my favorite tv shows as a kid, and I remember thinking, "There's something different about her, I think she likes girls."

Darlene, I'm guessing you said duh, because in reality Sara Gilbert is a lesbian with a life parter and child. If you ever had a question though, you only had to watch Poison Ivy, you could just tell she throughly enjoyed the sexual tension between her and Drew Barrymore.

I would have added one more though,Rayanne from My So Called Life, she was completely jelous of Angela's obsession with Jared Leto's character ( I can't remember his character name)

I really enjoy your blog. I dig witty ladies.
