8th July - 14th July 

^{A lesbian coupl}e from Ohio were told that as their unit did not consist of a mother and a father that they were not a family!

^{Melody Mohn and her partner Hela Young tried to buy a family pass at Galion’s Heise Park and were refused due to their sexuality.}

^{Mohn had already been a long standing member of the pool.  The couple have 4 children and until now Young was not on the pass.  As it was costing her a lot more to buy a ticket each time it made sense to add her onto the family pass.}   

^{This has obviously caused a massive uproar and Mohn is campaigning to change the rules.}

^{This is yet another incident where individual establishments are being called up to rethink how they run their business.  Although Obama is leading a campaign to support the LGBT community around the world, he needs to challenge serious lacks of human rights on his home turf first!}

^{*Note: For me the fact that this pool is run by the YMCA is hilarious!  Wonder if gay men would also be refused?!}

^{Lesbian Crushes – Crush that!} 

^{Why is it that a celebrity has a different lesbian crush every week?  And do we as ‘real’ lesbians really care?  This week it was the turn of Keira Knightley… her crush would be Kathleen Hanna.  Personally I can’t really see them together!}

^{Once again the “lesbian crush” happens to have been mentioned just at a time when Keira happens to be promoting her new film.  At the same time we can’t really blame Keira as this seems to be the press question of the day.  If she had a choice she may have just told him to mind his own.} 

^{*Note: Do straight male celebrities get asked for their gay crushes?}

Julie Bindel – To be or not to be gay that’s your choice!

^{You will all by now have heard about Julie Bindel’s claim about sexual orientation being a choice…}

^{In her new book Straight Expectations she states that we are not born gay but in fact choose it!  So not only do we now have to defend ourselves to the heterosexual world, it appears that we also have to do so to lesbians.} 

What do you think?  Here’s your chance to add your input by joining in with our poll: "Is being gay a choice?"

It’s LFest

^{Yes time has finally come around for L Fest.  It’s the UK’s biggest, best and only proper lesbian festival.  And boy (or girl) do they have a line up for you this year!} 

^{Our very own Sex, Love and Intimacy Expert, Emma Ziff will be running a workshop on “How to Prevent Lesbian Bed Death” as well as offering some lucky women the chance to try out Lady Prelox, the world’s only scientifically proven sexual enhancer for women.}  

^{We are also delighted to announce that Pink Lobster Dating will be unveiling gorgeous new exclusive products created by renowned designers.  Come check them out in our tent.}

^{Plus remember we have an amazing competition to win 2 tickets (worth £100 each) – be quick as you only have until tomorrow to enter.} 

^{*Note: we will be interviewing some of the performers at L Fest - if you have any questions you want answering email press@pinklobsterdating.com}

And finally a treat for lesbian geeks

^{Gay Star News has just reported that Madame Vastra and her human wife Jenny Flint are returning to Doctor Who.    To be honest I know as much about testicles as I do about Doctor Who, but the fact that the new series also features a lesbian couple excited me!}

^{The revisit to Victorian London where they were first seen allows for this special treat. Not only are they a lesbian couple but they are also  supposedly feisty fighters for that matter…}

^{They are on the teaser trailer for the new series so those who have seen them before may have already spotted them!}

*Note: Wouldn't it be great if real lesbian aliens actually existed?!?
