There's barely any websites for Asian bisexuals/lesbians

I was surfing the net the whole day today trying to search for lesbian movies to download. I bought a 260 GB external hard-drive yesterday, and I wanted to save all my favorite lesbian movies on there. I want it to be a collection of my fav. movies, novels and online stories. I just downloaded "Saving Face." I'm using utorrent and the download is pretty fast but the PC speed is slower than normal.

Bow to Kanako Otsuji

" By serving as a politician who is openly lesbian, I can make the homosexual
population a visible issue."

Reading from your thoughts, you are wondering who this person Kanako Otsuji is. Kanako Otsuji is a 33 years old female out-lesbian politican in Japan. The first gay politician in Japan. She came out of the closet, a place we all know so well, in 2005 Tokyo gay parade. This month (June), she and her partner Maki Kimura exchanged vows and had a public wedding. More than 1,000 people gathered for the event. Gay marriages are illegal in Japan and like-so in many other Asian countries as well. Still, there is a vibrant gay life in a section of Tokyo called Shinjuku and other major cities. Japanese understand the fact that homosexuality exist in their society but they tend to avoid the subject matter. In recent years, there were a few Japanese entertainers, mainly comedians, that came out the closet. Most of them are men. The more public exposure, the better.

A few more interesting facts about Kanako Otsuji.

---Attended Seoul University

---Knows karate and tae won do

---Didn't suspect she was a lesbian until she was 18

YOUR THOUGHTS: Do you believe Japan will be the first East Asian country to make gay marriages legal ?

Love's Lone Flower: The Queer Movie of The Year

Judging by just the title alone, there's nothing happy about it. It is an obvious indicator for a sad and lonely ending. I can't ask too much from the straight people. I'm just thankful there is a movie that deals with homosexuality as the center theme is enough for me. It doesn't take much to make me happy ( I hope).

The movie was made in 2005 by director Jui-Yuan Tsao. The 3 beautiful flowers that starr in this film are Anita Yuen, Angelica Lee, and Shu-shen Hsiao who played the role of Yuenfang, Wubao, and Juan-Juan respectfully. The storyline follows Yuenfang, the beautiful Anita Yuen, as she escaped to Taiwan from Shanghai in the 1940s. The opening scene had Wubao secretly leaving San-Lang at the train station in Shanghai. Why? It was a question I think the audience also wonders about.

I will try to paint a clear picture of the movie for you. The main protagonist is Yuenfang, a popular club hostess in Shanghai. One night, she rescued Wubao from two mobsters who threatened to sell her to whore house to pay off debt. Wubao became a singer at the club, and her voice and beauty caught the eyes and ears of a song-writer, San-Lang. San-Lang fell in love with Wubao and by chance, our protagonist caught the love flu too. San-Lang and Wubao were at the Shanghai train station ready to aboard the train when Wubao knew she could not leave without Yuenfang. I wish there were more love scenes (not sex scenes okay!) between Yuenfang and Wubao. Their story could take up the whole movie for all I care. Now back to the story, Wubao died during their escape to Taiwan. In Taiwan, Yuenfang continued to be a hostess. She met Juan-Juan, who reminds her so much of Wubao. Because of the resemblance, Yuenfang's heart opens once again. I know that Yuenfang cares for Juan-Juan, but I'm not sure that Yuenfang loves her for her. Yuenfang may have love Juan-Juan because the shadow of Wubao follows Juan-Juan. Get it? Back to the story. Juan-Juan got into a relationshop with a no-good man by the name of Ko. Juan-Juan entered into the world of drugs. As the story nears its end, Juan-Juan killed Ko in Yuenfang's complex. It was revealed that Juan-Juan was raped and molested by her father (or uncle) when she was younger.

I think the biggest flaw in this movie is the ending. To be just honest, I don't get the ending at all. The writer introduced a new character that I never heard or knew before. Why would the writer want to introduce a new character at the VERY end? I sensed there was some kind of relationship that had occurred between Yuenfang and the newly introduced female character. But that is all up for grabs. I still don't know what happen to Juan-Juan after she killed Ko. Is there going to be Love's Lone Flower 2 in the near future? I don't like endings that leave me wondering aimlessly.

There was no sex scene in this movie. It doesn't matter to me because I'm not a big fan of sex scenes anyway. There were two kissing scenes in the movie. I feel the kissing scenes were a little lacking. In the kissing department, the Western is ahead of Asian by 7 to 2. Maybe it's the way Asian kisses. I don't know. I don't know about you guys but when it comes to kissing, Asian actors tend to suck on their partner's upper lip for the whole 3 minutes without changing positions. Come on, put on a Christopher Columbus' hat and explore!!

Overall, this is one of the best Asian lesbian movies that I've seen. It is much better than Spider Lillies which is so overrated. I will definately trash Spider Lillies later. I will give Love's Lone Flower a 7.5 out of 10 stars.
