This is a shout out to all the women involved in the film Blue Jean, which is about a lesbian teacher during the Section 28 years. It shows a scenario that some of us here will have experienced and I take my hat off to the women (it is almost entirely the work of women — writer, director, most of the producers) who managed to get it made in a relentlessly woke arts scene where being GC gets you cancelled.
The Telegraph ('this brave British debut is surely a slam-dunk masterpiece') says It's so rare in British cinema to see the "L" in "LGBTQ+" up there in such bold type. But Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian is negative from the get-go and manages to write his whole piece without using the word lesbian once. The Guardian can't cope with lesbians, apparently. We are 'gay women.' Well, at least he used the word 'women'.
