Just in case you've been living under a rock, apparently Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson are, like, totally a couple now. They used to be just BFFs (or should that be BCFs: best coke friends) and roomies, but now they're making out in Sam's DJ booth, giving each other hickeys, flying to Paris to go shopping together, and holding hands on Puffy's yacht at Cannes. Like you do.

Cynics are claiming that it's all one big P.R. move to make her seem mature, though we have to say that this particular stunt isn't winning us over. Mature? Puh-lease, she's just a L.U.G. without the diploma.

Just because LiLo didn't go to college, it doesn't mean she can't have her own L.U.G. (lesbian until graduation) phase. Even we've been there, Linds--back in our early 20s in NYC, making out on the dance floor was kind of our party trick. And even though we never got invited onto Diddy's yacht, we used to hold hands when we were drunk (how else are you supposed to stay upright after 11 vodka-cranberries?). And if we could have afforded it, we probably would have gone to Paris, too.

Of course, there's always the chance that Lindsay is merely bi-curious. Check out these uber-scientific definitions from our book Rec Sex: An A-Z Guide to Hooking Up and make up your own mind. Or, you know, don't (badum ching).
L.U.G. (lesbian until graduation)
The sexual orientation of approximately one-half of college girls. In high school, she identifies as straight, dating the captain of the football team and dutifully submitting to his clumsy and fairly unsatisfying fondling in the back seat of his dad's Range Rover. Once in college, she takes a women's studies class on French feminist lesbian lit and subsequently begins to wonder about the same sex--namely, how a woman's lips and boobies might feel to her touch. Drunk with her newfound freedom and just plain drunk, she finally kisses a girl (with tongue) in order to a) satisfy her curiosity, b) privately rebel against her Republican-family-values parents, and/or c) prove she's really deep, mature (so over boys), and unconventional. It's a phase she outgrows when she puts on a cap and gown.

bi-curious
The sexual orientation of every college girl, at least on the dance floor. Unlike L.U.G.s, these bi-triers' primary motivation is the group of Sigma Chis cheering them on from the taproom. In rare cases, this curiosity about the sex one is not instinctually attracted to is acted on by gay people just for the novelty of it, or by straight men who write poetry, a.k.a. party bisexual.

Since when is this blog about labeling people's sexuality? Since when is it anyone's business what another's person's sexuality is? Why does Lohan need to fit into some category of sexuality determined by YOU? I am extremely outraged by the idea that ANY woman's sexuality is open for public discourse. Perhaps she's a lesbian. Perhaps she's bisexual. Perhaps she's merely attracted to this particular woman. I'm not sure it's anyone's business but theirs.

why do we need to label what LiLo's doing? And can't she be "legitimately" bisexual? or queer? why does it have to be gay or straight, aren't most things in life somewhere in between?

i love your site and read it often, but as a bi/queer/what have you lady, i kind of expected a more complex understanding of sexuality in all its diversity from y'all.

Haha I love it! I reckon she is just going through a phase but wicked and if it makes her happy then why not! There aren't enough young hot female couples. Essssp not in Hollywood!

LiLo is hawt! not sure about the other one though, not sure if we would cheer her on

:P There's PLENTY of room for bisexuality. She looks really happy, and you shouldn't be dismissive of her sexuality, or suggesting that queer women pick their identities because of wanting to rebel or get attention.

Unfortunately with the current round of young female train-wrecks in Hollywierd---such as Lindsay and Britney, its hard to take ANYTHING they do seriously. Most people can be forgiven for assuming that anything they do it either a publicity stunt or another train station along the way of their personal train wrecks. I would suggest that LiLo's probable daliance with being "bi" mocks legitimately bi or gay relationships.
