Why does every dyke character on TV either get raped or murdered?
It seems that throughout the history of film and television, lesbian characters (and lesbian lovers especially) are always doomed. If you've ever watched The Celluloid Closet, you have an idea what I mean. Lesbians always seem to end up either as villains or violently dead (often by suicide or murder) - or insane. More than likely, all of three if possible. You can trace this disturbing plot mechanism all the way back to early films like The Children's Hour and The Fox, onto later films like The Hunger and Heavenly Creatures, and even into modern films like Boys on the Side, High Art and Monster. Yes, some of these were based on real life stories, but why the hell are mainstream films with lesbian characters almost always based on the sinister, sad and horrible instead of the beautiful and wonderful?
