Yes, sometimes characters should die in films. Sometimes that makes sense for the story that film is trying to tell. But when it feels like every movie about lesbians you watch involves a lesbian dying, or deciding that women just weren’t for them and that they’d like to date men again, it gets a little old. So here are 18 lesbian movies with happy (or at least hopeful) endings!
But I’m a Cheerleader may take place in a conversion therapy camp, but this romantic comedy starring Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall has one of the best happy endings in a movie about lesbians ever.
It’s hard not to fall a little bit more in love with Carol every time you see it. The romantic drama set in 1950s New York tells the story of a love affair between soon to be divorced Carol Aird, and young aspiring artist, Therese Belivet. The film was based on The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith, which had an unprecedented happy ending for lesbian characters when it was released in 1952.
I Can’t Think Straight is a 2008 romance film about Tala, a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian decent, who is planning her wedding, and Leyla, a British Indian, the woman she has an affair with. The film attempts to deal with race, class, and sexuality in 80 minutes to varying degrees of success, but Tala and Leyla’s super sweet love story and ultimately happy ending make it worth the watch.
Life Partners follows the friendship of Sasha (Leighton Meester) and Paige (Gillian Jacobs). Sasha is a lesbian, and Paige is straight. Their friendship is the first and only priority, until Paige meets a new boyfriend, Tim. While the film doesn’t focus on a lesbian love story, it is an entertaining buddy flick. Bonus: the film is currently streaming on Netflix!
Nina’s Heavenly Delights is a 2006 romantic comedy that follows Nina Shah and Lisa as they begin a romantic relationship after Nina’s father dies and leaves half the restaurant to Lisa.
Kiss Me is a Swedish drama following Mia, an architect who is engaged to Tim, her business partner. When she meets Frida, the daughter of her newly engaged father’s fiancée, they begin an affair. Bonus: the film is currently streaming on Netflix!
Imagine Me & You is a German-British romantic comedy that centers on the relationship between Rachel and Luce who meet on Rachel’s wedding day to Hector. The film offers happy endings for everyone, even Rachel’s ex-husband.
Okay, so technically people die in Bound. This 1996 neo-noir crime thriller by The Wachowskis follows Corky, an ex-con who just finished a five-year jail sentence, and Violet, her new next door neighbor who she starts a relationship with. Despite all the ways things could go wrong for the couple, they get a happy ending!
Show Me Love is a Swedish film following two teenage girls, Agnes and Elin, who begin a romantic relationship in their stifling small town. Bonus: the film is currently streaming on Netflix!
Gray Matters is a 2006 romantic comedy that follows Gray Baldwin, who lives with her brother Sam, and accidentally falls in love with her sister-in-law.
Is Jenny’s Wedding a great movie? Not really. There are a lot of long speeches about why Jenny’s conservative parents are wrong, and about how love overcomes everything, although the relationship between Jenny and Kitty is so thinly developed that it’s hard to believe it overcomes much. That said, if you just want to see a movie where Katherine Heigl and Alexis Bledel play a lesbian couple that gets married, go for it!
D.E.B.S. is an action-comedy parody of the Charlie’s Angels format. The film focuses on a love story between a hero, Amy Bradshaw, and a villain, Lucy Diamond. Despite the fact that they're on opposite sides of the law, the two get to ride off into the night together.
The World Unseen was written and directed by Shamim Sarif, also known for I Can’t Think Straight, and stars the same actresses, Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth. The film is set in 1950s South Africa, where Amina and Miriam tentatively begin a romantic relationship in the midst of oppression.
Saving Face is a romantic comedy directed by Alice Wu that focuses on Wilhelmina, a Chinese-American surgeon, and her dancer girlfriend, Vivian. The ending is so ridiculously sweet and happy that you’ll want to dance.
The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love is a 1995 film written and directed by Maria Maggenti. The film follows the relationship between two very different teens, Randy Dean and Evie Roy. While the film doesn’t have an entirely happy ending since Randy and Evie are navigating being out and adulthood for the first time, the characters are allowed to do so without dying.
Desert Hearts is a romantic Western drama directed by Donna Deitch and based on the 1964 novel Desert of the Heart by Jane Rule. The film is set in 1959, and follows Vivian Bell, an English Professor who travels to Reno, Nevada to obtain a quick divorce, and Cay Rivers, a free-spirited sculptor, as they start an affair. The film has a hopeful ending.
Better Than Chocolate is a 1999 Canadian romantic comedy directed by Anne Wheeler. The film follows Maggie, who has recently moved out on her own, as she starts a relationship with another woman, Kim. Things become more complicated when Maggie’s mother and brother are forced to move into her loft, and are unaware that she’s a lesbian.
After living in New York for many years, photographer Ronit (Rachel Weisz) returns for a trip back home to her super-conservative, Orthodox Jewish community in London and rekindles a forbidden relationship she had with her childhood friend Esti (Rachel McAdams), who has since married their other childhood friend (and a respected Rabbi in the community) Dovid.
The catalyst for Ronit returning to London and reuniting with Esti is the death of Ronit's father, so technically, someone did die in this movie...but at least it wasn't the queer women!

Mr Smith arrives home after a long day at the office – ‘Hi, honey, I’m home.’ Mrs Smith greets him with a peck on the cheek, his slippers and a glass of whisky. Mr Smith sits in front of the fire drinking his whisky and reading the newspaper while Mrs Smith puts the final touches to their evening meal in the kitchen. This is clearly no longer the typical picture of heterosexual marriage (if it ever was), but a gendered division of labour where a male (main) breadwinner and a female responsible for the home and childcare is the predominant pattern. In this article we explore what happens in relationships when these ‘off-the-shelf’ roles are not available.One issue that emerges repeatedly in psychological analyses of heterosexual relationships is gender difference. As Kitzinger (2001) outlines, whether or not these alleged differences exist for any particular heterosexual couple, heterosexual couples build their relationships in a world in which gender differences are widely believed in, and reflected in institutions and popular culture. Against and through these ideas about gender difference, couples are judged, positioned and regulated both by others and by themselves. However, many heterosexual couples report resisting these stereotypes and developing alternative ways to ‘do’ marriage (see Finlay & Clarke, 2003).
By contrast, lesbian and gay couples do not have to resist stereotypes about gender difference – they simply do not apply. As Kitzinger (2001, p.2) notes ‘gender difference is inescapably part of a heterosexual relationship, and gender similarity part of a same-sex relationship’. For instance, heterosexual couples have recourse to gender stereotypes in making decisions about who does what around the home; however, for lesbian or gay couples there is no gender basis for deciding who should peg out the washing! One relatively consistent finding in research on lesbian and gay couples is that they are more likely than heterosexual couples to value and achieve equality in their relationships (Dunne, 1997).
Despite those obvious differences, many psychologists emphasise the similarities between lesbian and gay and heterosexual relationships. Some lesbian and gay psychologists (e.g. Kitzinger & Coyle, 1995) have argued that a focus on similarities can be problematic, moulding lesbian and gay relationships into patterns (supposedly) typical of heterosexual relationships and therefore overlooking aspects that do not conform to this ideal.
A focus on sameness can also lead to a failure to explore the marginalisation of lesbian and gay relationships in the wider society. For instance, in the UK, although a the provisions of the Civil Partnership Act 2004 are due to come into force later this year, lesbian and gay couples are currently denied access to many of the rights and privileges enjoyed by married heterosexual couples. The failure to appreciate possible differences between lesbian and gay and heterosexual relationships leads to the expectation that marriage (or civil partnership) will bring the same benefits to lesbian and gay couples as it does for heterosexual couples (many lesbian and gay financial advisers argue otherwise: see Fleming, 2004). The assumption here is that lesbian and gay couples, because they are no different from heterosexual couples, are seeking to merge their identities and their finances in a way that is encouraged by ‘modern marriage’ (Burgoyne & Routh, 2001), and that (monogamous) marriage represents the ‘gold standard’ of relationship achievement (Finlay & Clarke, 2004).
The importance of gender differences and similarities is evident in research on the division of domestic labour in lesbian, gay and heterosexual relationships. Kurdek (1993) compared how lesbian, gay and married heterosexual couples allocate household labour. Kurdek identified three patterns of household labour allocation: equality, balance and segregation. Couples who allocate using the principle of equality do so by sharing household tasks and completing them together. Couples who allocate by balancing distribute tasks equally but specialise – one partner does the ironing, and the other does the cooking. In the segregation pattern, one partner does most of the household labour. Kurdek found that lesbian couples are most likely to allocate by sharing, gay couples by balancing, and married heterosexual couples by segregation (with wives doing the bulk of household labour). Kurdek concluded that couples can do without gender in developing workable strategies for fairly distributing labour – perhaps heterosexual couples have something to learn from lesbian and gay couples about achieving equality in their relationships. This conclusion is quite different from that reached by research assessing lesbian and gay relationships in terms derived from heterosexual ones.
As with domestic chores, when it comes to the world of work lesbian and gay couples have no recourse to gender stereotypes and therefore hold fewer preconceptions about the role of breadwinner. Most tend to be ‘dual worker’ relationships (Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983); in Dunne’s (1997) study of lesbian relationships partners typically earned similar amounts.
However, how lesbian and gay couples manage this money is a neglected topic in psychological research. Although the economic discrimination faced by lesbian and gay couples is well documented (Dolan & Stum, 2001; see also www.stonewall.org.uk), the literature on lesbian and gay relationships largely ignores financial issues, as do debates about same-sex marriage (see Clarke & Finlay, 2004). Even though a key argument in support of same-sex marriage emphasises the economic equality marriage rights will offer lesbian and gay partnerships, there is little discussion of how legislation might best reflect the specificities of the economic dimensions of lesbian and gay relationships, and limited psychological evidence to feed into such discussions.
In fact, one of the first researchers to focus specifically on money in relationships was the sociologist Jan Pahl. She came across the subject largely by accident when interviewing women who were victims of domestic violence (Pahl, 1989). These women considered themselves better off financially living in a refuge on state benefits than when they had been at home with a male breadwinner, even though some of the men had had substantial incomes. The reason was that even with much less money coming in, the women could now decide for themselves how that money should be spent. Pahl’s insight sparked a number of qualitative studies of money in marriage and has been very influential in the field of economic psychology. Pahl developed a typology of money management in married heterosexual relationships as follows:
Surveys have shown that nearly half of all married heterosexual couples in the UK use some form of pooling, about a quarter have a female-managed whole-wage system, about one in ten a male-managed whole-wage system, and about the same number have an allowance system (Laurie & Rose, 1994). Less than 2 per cent use independent management.
We are currently undertaking a study exploring the usefulness of Pahl’s typology for characterising systems of money management in same-sex relationships. What little evidence there is suggests that many lesbian and gay couples do have a financial partnership and pool or merge some or all of their income (Mendola, 1980), and this becomes more likely over time (Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983). However, evidence also suggests that lesbian and gay couples are more likely than heterosexual couples to keep their finances separate (Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983); this is especially true for lesbian couples. In two British studies of lesbian and gay relationships (Dunne, 1997, Weeks et al., 2001) respondents typically made equal contributions to household expenses, but otherwise managed money separately, usually in separate bank accounts.
Pooling can involve considerable risk for lesbian and gay couples because the law as it currently stands offers them little help in dividing up joint assets when a relationship ends. Interestingly, past experience of heterosexual relationships influences women’s decisions about managing money in second marriages and in lesbian relationships. Qualitative research on second (heterosexual) marriages suggests that independent management is more common because one or both partners have tried another system in a previous marriage and found it wanting (Burgoyne & Morison, 1997). Similarly, women’s experiences of economic power imbalances in heterosexual relationships influence their decisions about merging finances in lesbian relationships (Dunne, 1997).
There are important differences we should note here between control and management of money. For example, the female-managed whole-wage system might give the impression that the wife is in control. However, since this system tends to be found among lower-income relationships with a male breadwinner, the woman’s role is commonly that of management. She has the chore rather than the privilege of managing money in order to make ends meet, and overall control remains with the breadwinner, her husband. In heterosexual relationships, men tend to have more economic power and more control over money – this means that (among many other things) they have more say in how money is used, and more entitlement to personal spending money (Burgoyne, 1990). Correspondingly, women have less say in financial decision making in their relationships and feel less entitled to equal personal spending money, unless they are making a similar financial contribution to the household (Burgoyne & Lewis, 1994).
Income is therefore clearly a factor in the balance of power in relationships, but perhaps it is to a lesser extent in lesbian ones (Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983). Dunne (1997) suggests that this is because lesbians work to avoid extreme financial imbalances and value self-sufficiency and economic independence. The women in her study associated financial dependence with inequality and being ‘trapped’ in a relationship.
For many lesbian and gay couples, combining financial resources is symbolic of their togetherness and commitment (Blumstein and Schwartz, 1983, Marcus, 1998). However, according to Weeks et al. (2001), not having a financial partnership can be symbolic of an ethic of co-independence (something that some heterosexual cohabitees might also value). Our recent research with heterosexual couples about to be married shows that many are reluctant to merge their finances completely. Such couples are happy to share their joint living expenses, but they also value the freedom, independence, and in some cases, financial privacy, afforded by maintaining separate personal accounts (Burgoyne et al., 2005).
In summary, research suggests there might be important differences in the ways lesbian and gay and heterosexual couples manage their finances. This may be because lesbian and gay couples have no longstanding rules about managing money and they are not compelled to negotiate stereotypes about gender difference in the way that heterosexual couples are.
There is a need for more research on money management in lesbian and gay relationships, not least because developments in policy and legislation – for instance, the Civil Partnership Act 2004 – rely on models of heterosexual behaviour that may not adequately reflect the lived reality of lesbian and gay relationships. Moreover, most of the data on money management in lesbian and gay relationships (and in fact on these relationships generally) has been collected in the US. There are important differences between the concerns of lesbian and gay couples in the UK and in the US. Major issues for lesbian and gay couples in the US are health insurance and domestic partner benefits. A federal law on same-sex marriage seems unlikely – despite the recognition offered by some states (e.g. Vermont) – whereas the UK government has successfully introduced legislation.
The literature offers inconclusive or contradictory evidence on lesbian and gay relationships and money. We know virtually nothing about important issues such as retirement, wills and joint ownership of property. Psychologists can make a key contribution to improving our understanding of lesbian and gay relationships and encouraging the development of policy and legislation that adequately reflects the realities of those relationships. Furthermore, knowing more about lesbian and gay relationships will improve our understanding of heterosexual relationships, and help us to tease out the links between gender and inequality.
