Angel and Lily talk lesbian identity (PinkNews)
From the first time holding hands in public, to the first time realising you were LGBTQ, we all have a first time story.
First Times is a new PinkNews series, with each episode dedicated to a different identity under the LGBTQ umbrella.
Now the series returns with episode four, with lesbians sharing their first time experiences.
From the moment they realised they were into women, to the first time they went on a date with a woman, these six people share their stories on camera.
In this episode, Abi, Lily, Teddy, Chantelle, Angel and Saffron open up about the first time they realised they were lesbian.
For Lily Madigan, coming out as a lesbian followed coming out as trans.
She explained: “I felt like if I came out as lesbian I’d be reaffirming something to transphobes like ‘oh they’re into women, they’re obviously a straight man’ – which is a comment I’ve seen as recently as today.
“That led to a lot of internalised shame but I’m glad I got over that, and I’m very proud to be me.”
Teddy Edwardes, who runs lesbian club nights through LICK Events , never explicitly came out – but there were some clues for her mum to pick up on.
“I just think it’s weird how I brought a girl down from Manchester, from MySpace, and I never even said to my mum ‘oh, I’m gay’,” she said.
“But I did ask her how did you know I was gay, and she said having naked posters of girls all over my walls kind of gave it away.”
Chantelle, a DJ for LICK, added: “I was very attached to one Beyoncé poster so I think that was probably a sign to my mum.”
Angel, 36, has “always been a tomboy” and knew she was a lesbian from “when I could talk.”
“I identify myself as always being a lesbian, I was born a lesbian – that’s not me trying to make a statement, that’s just me.
“In my area, I’m know as Angel the lesbian – and I didn’t even know that. Everybody knew I was gay without me having to tell them.”
For Saffron, coming out took a surprise twist when her dad also opened up about his sexuality.
She explained: “I didn’t even say I was gay or a lesbian, I was just like ‘dad, I really like girls.’
Celebs you didn’t know have an LGBT sibling
“And then my dad was sat in the corner and my friend overheard him say: ‘I was gay in art school’.”
Abi realised she was a lesbian at 13 years old.
She said: “I used to get on the same bus everyday after school and sit in the same seat, and about half way through my journey one woman would come on.
“It used to make me really happy, but I thought she was just like a cool lady I wanted to be like when I grew up.
“And then I went home that night and Googled the word lesbian.”

The first time I told my parents I was gay.
I was like 9. Sorry, no Lifetime movie moments here. I can't even remember how it went down.
The first time I accidentally told the entire middle school I was gay.
I told one person, and they told one person, and they told another person. By the time lunch was over, everybody knew. The next day, the middle school held a meeting about my orientation and everybody treated me like I had only six weeks to live. Even the most popular girl was nice to me.
The first time I told a straight girl I had a crush on her during a class field trip.
Well, let's just say I don't plan on doing that again anytime soon.
The first time I heard that Mike Pence thinks that I should have my gay electrocuted out of me.
I fought back with a little humor in my first political essay, where I referred to him and the "president" as Turd in Pants.
The first time I went to PrideFest.
It was last summer, and I got to go backstage and meet my drag idol, RainBowGore Cake. PrideFest overall was awesome, until, on the way out, my family and I ran into a bunch of gay-hating religious freaks holding super-offensive signs like "Jesus died to save you from hell!" I was pretty shocked. I didn't know there were people out there who thought this way.
The first time I went to a super homo pool party.
There was this one really pretty younger married lesbian couple. When I see happily married gay couples, it makes me feel really nice, whether it be our neighbors, friends of my parents, or even classmates' parents I've never met in person.
The first time I ever got set up with the only other gay girl my age that anyone knew.
She actually turned out to be really nice, and we became good friends. Heck, we even got to go on a Chinese food first (friend) date together. I'm not just going to instantly fall in love with the first other lesbian I meet—I'm just like any other 13-year old girl.

Watching the trailer for “ First Kill ,” it was tempting to assume that Netflix ’s new teen show got lost on its way to The CW. After watching the actual episodes, however, it’s necessary to apologize to The CW for the insult to a genre it’s done well for years, and which “First Kill” spends an inordinate amount of energy trying to duplicate without much success.
Based on the short story by V.E. Schwab, who also wrote the first episode and produces the series, “First Kill” dutifully sets up its YA supernatural show bingo board. There are bitchy sisters and ice queen mothers, overbearing fathers and wisecracking best friends. There are vampires, ghouls and werewolves. There are star-crossed lovers — vampire Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) and vampire hunter Calliope (Imani Lewis) — caught between their family duties and raging hormones. And yet, for all the work “First Kill” puts into making sure it hits all the right notes, the series feels more like an uncanny valley version of what it’s attempting to be rather than a worthwhile story all its own.
Over the course of eight episodes, all of which drop on Netflix today (June 10) when the review embargo tellingly also lifts, the drama follows Juliette and Calliope (aka “Cal”) as they struggle to balance their birthrights with not just the hell that is high school, but their immediate attraction to each other. As Juliette’s parents Sebastian (Will Swenson) and Margot (Elizabeth Mitchell, somehow) and Cal’s parents Talia (Aubin Wise) and Jack (Jason R. Moore) both emphasize over and over and over again, the two can never be together. The Romeo and Juliet parallels are of course intentional, but too obvious to be particularly clever, Sapphic twist or no. The same goes for the show’s blatant attempts to be a new take on “Twilight,” whose doomed romance gets an explicit shoutout in the (admittedly catchy) opening credits song.
Sunk by a noxious combination of flat writing and flatter directing, the actors never get enough runway to make these characters anything but facsimiles of overwrought tropes. Pretty much the only actors who come close to making it out alive are Dylan McNamara as Oliver, Juliette’s black sheep brother, and Grace Dzienny as Elinor, Juliette’s formidable older sister with a heart of…well, if not gold, then at least a shiny brass. It doesn’t help that the scenes explaining each family’s conflicting traditions, of which there are seemingly thousands, are full of self-serious jargon that give the appearance of a fully fleshed out world without actually creating a believable one.
The worst offense “First Kill” commits, though, is that it never sells the central romance that should by all rights be its beating heart. Without letting Juliette
