• Miranda Richardson is gay?

• pics and stories and who is and was dating who please?

• i hope you are so right about Julia Bradbury! WOW!

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCk8FlkuAlM&feature=related

• OOPS

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCk8FlkuAlM&feature=related

• She beards constantly - or mirkins - whatever - but Kelly Brook is a Lesbian.

• You''ve got to read the hilariously awful comments on the Julia Bradbury youtube link at R4. God, straight guys are such repulsive animals.

• Who has Julia Bradbury dated?

• Holy fuck!!! I wouldn''t call those comments hilarious R6!! Saying that you want to participate in using force and holding her down while someone else "fills her with cum"? I don''t own a youtube account but someone should report those perverts. %0D\ %0D\ Is it something about this particular woman or is it like that with all videos of beautiful women on youtube? It''s womit inducing!!

• You forgot Heather Peace.

  http://www.afterellen.com/greatlezbritain/10-25-2010

• Hold on a second. \ \ Pat Butcher and Moira Stewart?

  I can''t believe it...

• Off topic but I met Pam St Clements last yeah. She came to see the new educational centre in the museum I work in (she used to be a teacher, apparently) and was amazingly nice and interested in everything.

• The only one I didn''t know about was Katie Melua. Wow

  http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/11_02/meluaDM1511_468x648.jpg

• what about Sadie frost and her "best friend" singer frances ruffelle who played the original eponine in Les Miserable?

• I love Katie Melua.

  gay guy

• Katie Melua is Bulgarian, not British.

• She''s Georgian, r15

• Kate is Georgian - but Brit now%0D\ %0D\ Heather Pearce from recent Lip Service has a girlfriend

  ICO

• I''m sure some of these women are bisexuals not lesbians.

• Don''t forget:\ \ Deborah Warner - stage director (ex of Fiona Shaw)\ \ Jo Frost - comedienne and Graham Norton''s hag

• Nice.\ \ Thank you OP.

• [quote]Jo Frost - comedienne \ \ Do you mean Jo Brand? Jo Frost is the nanny and she is straight as is Brand.

• R18 SO? I prefer bi chicks, less craziness

• Who is Heather Peace''s GF?

• [quote]bi chicks, less craziness\ \ Yeah, riiight. They''re cooches smell like dried up old cum.

• R19 Saffron Burrows wrecked that relationship -it was really terrible for both Marina and Fiona

  ICO

• The thread title should be renamed British straight and bi-women with a few fat lesbians thrown in.

• oops, I meant Warner, M is someone else entirely lol

• LOL, r26.

• R26 gets cranky when his "all lesbians are ugly cows who are bitter because they can''t get a man" agenda is challenged. It''s called PROJECTION.%0D\ %0D\ He also gets cranky when he winks his brown eye at some passing hot straight guy and gets laughed and pointed at. Apparently, he came up crappers again tonight and is prowling DL.%0D\ %0D\ %0D

• Lesbian here r29. You sound really insecure and humour-impaired.

  r26

• Isn''t Elly Jackson actually La Roux? Or, rather, the lead singer of it?

• R26, I''ve been on DL for a long time, and I get really sick of the perpetuation of the little DL paradigm that all lesbians are fat and ugly.%0D\ %0D\ I''m not British, so I don''t know most of the the women on the list, but of the dozen or so I AM familiar with, most of them are 1) very attractive, 2) out as lesbians, and 3) currently in a relationship with a women. %0D\ %0D\ That makes your statement at R26 an absurdity.%0D\ %0D\ Seriously, what and who are you? Female? Male? Straight? Gay? Because if you''re a lesbian, you really need to come to terms with your on self-loathing, and if you''re a straight woman or a man, then you just need to shut the fuck up.

  R29

• Samantha Fox is such a hot dame, but what''s in a name?

• Jo Frost is straight? That''s disappointing. She''s not really my type, but I think she''s hot.

• What about former tennis players Jo Durie and Virginia Wade?

• Moira Stewart is gay? Never heard that. She is such an elegant lady.

• When did Saffron Burrows and Fiona Shaw split?

• Jo Brand is straight (and married, not that being married means someone is straight), and jokes all the time about how everyone assumes she''s gay.\ \ Jo Frost, there are been a fair few rumors she''s gay. I don''t think anyone knows much about her personal life. She''s nearly 40 and never married, no kids, and apparently lives with her father.

• Virginia Wade was reportedly Martina Navratilova''s first female lover.

• Patricia Routledge is GAY?

• Katie Melua is a bit coy about being gay/bisexual. Kind of like the male equivalent to Mika.

• Most women on this list are bi. But anyway, Saffron Burrows is american now and I think, not sure, she''s living with a man.

• Josie Lawrence is straight and has said so.

• [quote]Most women on this list are bi. But anyway, Saffron Burrows is american now and I think, not sure, she''s living with a man.%0D\ %0D\ Saffron has been seen and photographed with a blonde woman quite often. If you look at her paparazzi pics the blonde woman is at her side at numerous different occasions. Of course both being femme they fly under the radar so no one questioned it. I don''t really know if it''s her girlfriend, but it could be. Or not.

• Is Miranda Richardson really gay? Her name always pops up on threads like this. She has always pinged for me and I think she''s gorgeous but are there any rumors? Somebody must know something about her.

• Again with the same blonde woman:

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hu3s-hOd6Y

• I thought Fiona Shaw was long-time partners with some famous Brit director (female) - when did she split with her?\ \ And EVERYONE knows Patricia Routledge is gay, she''s open about it. IMDB even lists her long-time partner''s name in her bio.

• I don''t mean to call you a liar, r47, but your claim about Routledge''s partner being listed on imdb is not borne out by the facts.

• Keep it up, ladies! What stories do we know about Julia Bradbury?

• Can anyone confirm Cat Deeley as Lesbian?

• Until today I had no idea that Harry''s Aunt Petunia was a lesbian. I looked her up -- IMDb says "Former longtime companion of Saffron Burrows from 2002 to 2005." So "longtime" is now a mere three years?

• Isn''t Saffron holding the woman''s hand in one of the photos?

• [quote]Can anyone confirm Cat Deeley as Lesbian?\ \ No, she isn''t.

• R44, you made my day. Love you!

  R42

• [quote]Until today I had no idea that Harry''s Aunt Petunia was a lesbian. I looked her up -- IMDb says "Former longtime companion of Saffron Burrows from 2002 to 2005." So "longtime" is now a mere three years?\ \ When a high-profile couple is out and highly visible, you count in dog years.

• Any info on Sally Hawkins? She''s another one who never discusses her personal life. I remember reading an interview with her a while back where she gushes about kissing a male co-star. It surprised me because I''ve always thought she pinged and not just because of the roles she''s taken.

• Wow, OP, you''re really good at copy and pasting. It''s almost as though this information didn''t come from L Chat.

• who else?

• what about sadie frost or frances ruffelle?

• What are the rumors about Sadie frost?

• Re: Julia Bradbury.%0D\ %0D\ No fucking way. No lesbian would wear heels that uncomfortable or show that much leg.

• Miranda Richardson has been discussed before on DL and I got the impression her lesbianitude is unconfirmed.%0D\ %0D\ What about Jean Marsh?

• r60 sadie frost was in a lesbian coke using affair with Kate moss. Google it

• You are so wrong, r61.

  Portia De Rossi

• yep. that''s saffron burrows gf.

• Is Saffron gay or bi?

• 66 posts and no mention of Miriam Margolyes?

  you''re slipping DL

• I heard that Tracy Chapman and Guinevere Turner are a couple.

• [quote][R44], you made my day. Love you!%0D\ %0D\ Really, me? In that case I love you, too, sweetie.

  R42

• ^of course I''m R44 and not R42

  R44 and R69

• There was a great moment on CORONATION STREET this year when Sally found out her daughter was gay. When accused of being homophobic she replied "But I love Mary (Portas) Queen of Shops and she''s gay!"\ \ June Buckfield aka Sister George owns this thread.

• [quote]She beards constantly - or mirkins - whatever - but Kelly Brook is a Lesbian.\ \ \ No straight guy would ever believe it.

• [quote]She beards constantly - or mirkins - whatever - but Kelly Brook is a Lesbian.\ \ Only in your imagination.

• [quote]Is Miranda Richardson really gay?\ \ No.

• gay men get defensive when femme, attractive girls are rumored to be gay or bi why?

• who has and is Sarah Water dating?

• Heard that too r68.

• Really, R68? Was not Tracey Chapman dating the Color Purple author?

• I think Sarah Waters has been with girlfriend Lucy Vaughan for a few years now. No idea who she dated before Vaughan.

• Since when are Chapman and/or Turner British? And yes, they are together and have been for a while. \ \ Now please stop derailing this thread

• [quote[There was a great moment on CORONATION STREET this year when Sally found out her daughter was gay.\ \ Which daughter? The slutty gorgeous one or the brainy cute one? We''re like 10 months behind here in the colonies. I''m guessing it''s the latter.

• R61 I would.

  Bi

• Who is Lucy Vaughan?

• R81 the brainy cute one.

• Sarah waters'' gf is a total non-celeb. Always with her at parties. Never really says much.

• Whom else girls?! This thread has stalled with just British lesbians. How about lesbians of the World? Germany, France, Australia, America..etc?

• British dykes disgust me, they are the most racist and ugly sacks of shit ever.

  THREAD CLOSED

• Its seems this thread is closed!

• Damn, OP. I used to have such a thing for Josie Lawrence when I was a kid.

• josie lawrence has ''intense relationships with women''

• What do you mean by intense? they fight a lot?

• I''m not R90, but those relationships are the kind that closeted (or those that haven''t figured it out) women tend to have. Intense friendships that last a year or two, until one moves on or some fight severs the relationship forever. Personal experience speaking here.

• What about Gabrielle Anwar?

• what about becky anderson

• Backy Anderson really pings right of my scale!

• Kelly Brook is gay. That''s not even a secret.

• But but but but a gorgeous woman who wears lipstick and skirts can''t be gay. We all know how real lesbians really look like.

  R73

• Is Tanita Tiakaram gay?

• "Is Tanita Tikaram gay?"%0D\ %0D\ I believe so.%0D\ %0D

• [QUOTE]Kelly Brook is gay. That''s not even a secret.\ \ \ Who has she dated?

• Whats Kelly Brooks type?

• Kelly Brook did an exercise video with a female pro dancer on Strictly Come Dancing (Flavia Cacace.) Don''t know if she''s her type or not.

• Tanita Tikaram is gay and out and proud. What''s the story with Becky Anderson of CNN?

• Isn''t Sarah Douglas (Pamela Lynch from Falcon Crest) a lesbian as well?\ \ In a recent thread about Upstairs Downstairs a poster claims that Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins were lovers when they came up with the Upstairs Downstairs show.

• Please, give some info on Becky Anderson. Insiders at cnn international!

• Kelly Brooke is a strange one. Long rumoured to be gay in the UK in some circles if she is she constantly beards with rugby players like Danny Cipriani. She dated Billy Zane for ages - presumably in a move to get her US career gong, which never went anywhee - and he was rumoured to be closeted too. %0D %0D Cheryl Cole is rumoured to be gay and her strange relationship with Derek Hough is rumoured to be nothing but beard friendship. %0D %0D Saffron Burrows, was bisexual but had a steady relationship with Fiona Shaw (who is a genius) for some years before they split. In the pictures someone linked further back she is holding hands with this woman on two or three of the pics and the pictures list them as 'Saffron Burrows and her girlfriend...'.%0D %0D Patricia Routledge I heard lives with ex-Commons Speaker Betty Boothroyd but don't know if that's just gossip. Both are unmarried and middle-aged.%0D %0D Miranda Richardson lives quietly almost seemingly as a semi-recluse by her own admission, and she keeps cats. She won't talk about her private life and is something of an enigma. There is nothing to suggest her sexuality is one way or another as she is so private. %0D %0D Yes, it is said (though I don't know if true) ex-newsreader Moira Stewart is gay as is BBC newsreader Jane Hill, who came out recently. %0D %0D Racing/Sports TV presenter Claire Balding is gay and lives with her longterm partner. She has just beaten thyroid cancer. %0D %0D Pam St Clement. I only ever hear nice things said about her. I don't think there's many have run into her that have a bad word to say about her. Very nice lady by all accounts I've seen.

• "presumably in a move to get her US career gong, which never went anywhee"%0D\ %0D\ Jeebus, sorry that should read ''going'' and ''anywhere''.

• Eileen Atkins is a lesbian!

• Eileen Atkins IS A LESBIAN??

• What about British comedian Josie Long? She pings big time.

• Why do all brits have crotch rot?

• [quote]Saffron Burrows, was bisexual\ \ Er, she still is. You don''t stop being bisexual.

• Danny Cipriani is rumoured to be gay, his fav TV show is Glee and Kelly says he is always signing songs from the show. As a gay guy he always had a slight ping to him.\ \ \ Tanita Tikaram is gorgeous, I thought you gay girls would be more into her.

• Can one view Lip Service in the U.S.? I can''t figure out how-- it''s not on Netflix or BBC America.

• Torrents r114.

• [quote]Can one view Lip Service in the U.S.? I can''t figure out how-- it''s not on Netflix or BBC America.%0D\ %0D\ With expat shield you can watch BBC iplayer.

• Anyone know anything about Rae Hendrie?

• nope, who she be?

• R78, that would be Joan Armatrading.

• Sorry my mistake, according to Wiki Chapman did date Alice Walker. Walker has a daughter who''s just a bit younger than Chapman.

  R119

• Walker''s daughter Rebecca dated Me''shell Ndegecello for quite awhile, but she seems to have erased that whole episode from her past.

• R118, she''s a Scottish actress who appeared on anger seasons of Monarch of the Glen. She always lunges to me then, but I chalked it up to her character. Saw her again on L&O: UK tonight and she practically gonged

• Wow...American here. I haven''t heard the name Tanita Tikaram since the early 90''s. Is she doing well musically in Britain? I loved her US hit Twist In My Sobriety.

• What about Sally Hawkins? Does anyone know her story? Gay/Straight/Bi?

• I would just like to bump this thread.....

• Eileen Atkins and |Jean Marsh are not gay.%0D\ %0D\ I''ve met Eileen on several occasions and apparently, before she married her present husband in 1976, she had lots of relationships and engagements with both married and unmarried men. Definitely straight as a die.

• i hate Jonathan Ross. unrelatedly.

• No one knows or cares about Sally Hawkins, I guess.....

• I care more about Jodhi May than Sally Hawkins, R129...but no one knows a thing about either of them.

• I met her once...hard to tell, but she seemed genuinely very nice, FWIW.

  R129

• I used to see Tanita Tikaram out in gay bars in London in the early 90s, namely The Angel in Islington.

  British dyke

• Alison Goldfrapp and her gangly girlfriend Lisa. What do we think about her voice? Better than Gaga''s?

• Gaga is Queen!

• Lisa Gornick - made a couple of lesbo features, works in LA now I think. Her cartoons are very funny!

• Jessica Clark soon to be seen in a Perfect Ending. Did she ever marry her fitness trainer?

• So is jacqui brookes ex rock singer of siam

• agree with 130. More inrerested in Jodhi May. Or Nicola Walker. Probably neither of them is, but one can still hope...

• R136 yes Jessica Clark and Lacey Stone did get married. I am a friend of theirs, though I wasn''t invited to their wedding. Jessica is now appearing in some sitcom on ABC Family but I haven''t watched it.

• Good grief Mary Portas is looking old - looks about 65 wearing a 25 year old's clothes. *sigh* What is it with later in life lesbians that causes their self-respect and sense of style to just fly out the window? I wouldn't wear her stuff if you gave it me for free. Sheesh! x

  Lucy%20J.

• Who is Baroness Valerie Amos' girlfriend?

• I liked Sue Perkins (sp?) on the Great British Bake Off. Heard some rumors that she might be a lush, though.

• [quote]Or Nicola Walker. Probably neither of them is, but one can still hope... Nicola Walker isn't, unfortunately.

• Tanita Tikaram has a new album out this year. I believe she still tours and sells albums in the Eastern Euro block.

• Is Fiona Shaw dating now or has she given up the scene?

• Amanda Barrie

• Where is any evidence that Kelly Brook is gay - she has one high profile boyfriend after the other... at least Joan Armatrading never played that game, nice that my 2 favourite British singers - Joan and Dusty - are gay. Celia Imrie always pings to me - I am sure a lot of the Victoria Wood coterie she uses ali the time in her shows could be at least bi ?????

• There is talk about Jacqueline Bisset in a few other threads. Does anyone know anything?

• Many of these woman are not lesbians. Just because you like to finger your fat twat to them doesn't make them homosexual!

• Do illuminate us, R149. Who is not gay? And be sure to throw in some of your razor sharp wit.

• I was going to add, Amanda Barrie, R146, but most people don't really know her anymore. I like how she's really out & open about her gayness, for someone of her generation.

  http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2009/01/Bobs3AP_450x300.jpg

• Has anyone mentioned Sophie Ward? People were so shocked when she came out because she's so beautiful.

  http://i2.listal.com/image/2568184/600full-sophie-ward.jpg

• Sophie Ward got mentioned in OPs post.

• Ward is married to a fugly woman

• [quote]I like how she's really out & open about her gayness, for someone of her generation. Then someone need to edit her wikipedia page. It only mentions her marriages to men.

• 'Amanda Barrie, ironically a woman possessed of the old Sid James "Phworr!" factor, is a lesbian - and had been for many years before the public found out. Why did she write the book, laying bare not only her professional successes and failures and her colourful upbringing but her relationships with women? "I think it was something I'd put off for years," she says. "But I'd certainly never have done it while I was in Coronation Street. Actually, I wouldn't have done it anyway because it's not the thing to be mixing your career with your private life.'

• Miranda Hart

• [quote] "She beards constantly - or mirkins - whatever - but Kelly Brook is a Lesbian." No straight guy would ever believe it. Okay.

  Samantha%20Fox

• Anything on Sally Hawkins? I can't decide if she's very very straight or very very gay.

• Bump

• I am gutted to hear that Miranda Richardson & Katy Melua are gay because I have been in love with both of them for years.

  tennyson

• Does anyone know if Claire Stuart is a lesbian? or is she straight? I heard a rumour that she is gay.

  Anonymous

• Is Rachel Weisz a lesbian? I have a feeling Daniel Craig is just a beard for her.

• Katie Melua isn't a lesbian, she's dating/engaged to a guy now.

• Who is Miranda Richardson gf?

• So, are there any more (preferably attractive) British lesbians who haven't been mentioned?

• Kelly Brook? Very surprised to hear this. Anyway, she appeared in a campy shark film during her time in the US, and there are some promo pics around of her beautiful breasts being motor-boated by one of her female costars—evidently catching Kelly off-guard. Kelly's apparent uproarious laugh and her smile—not to mention her absolutely perfect body—make the picture well worth looking for. She has a lot of charisma for still photography, which seems not to come through on TV or movie screens.

• 138- you and I ahve the same taste. But Jodhy May probably isn't although she could have some issues with men since she grew up with a single mom. Not that it means anything but I think I read somewhere she doesn't know her dad so could be she's very carefull with guys not wanting to "repeat the same thing". Nicola Walker also probably isn't but she pings a little bit so who really knows.
