Sort of like a sorority for grown-ups where one did not have to attend frat parties or "rush" to get into (is "rush" the right lingo, I don't know). Honestly, I'm still not entirely convinced that one day I won't find myself living in such a situation. Even if it's at a retirement home for queer women. Which would be entirely amazing.
Anyway, some of my favorite examples of group female living scenarios from TV/Film include:
- The Rockford Peaches' house from A League of Their Own. Sigh. All those baseball players and not one lesbian or bisexual gal? I don't buy it! You know Doris was tip-toeing to Ellen Sue and/or All the Way Mae's bedroom after their nights out at the Sudsbucket
- Nonnatus House from Call the Midwife. Nuns + Nurses + Uniforms + Simple, Communal Living + Do-Goodism = queer lady catnip. I just started Season 4 of this series and am glad the show is finally introducing an overt same-sex relationship. But will it end well?!
- The Barden Bellas' house in Pitch Perfect 2. When Beca briefly left Chloe for the Kommisar, do you think they made the giant German sled down the steps? Ja/Nein.
- Miss Robichaux's House in American Horror Story: Coven. A Caveat. Imagine a different version, in which Queenie is the obvious Supreme and, instead of competing with each other, the witches join forces with Marie Laveau and legit take down the patriarchy. In this scenario, I would also write myself in as Mary Sue/Advisor/Lover of Cordelia Foxx.
