So Gay for You (St. Martin’s Pressurize, 2025).
Back in the halcyon days of the preliminary aughts, a first job as a reporter for an LGBT+ newspaper in Washington, DC, wasn’t exactly a plum posting for a young lesbian author just out of Columbia Journalism College in New York—no matter the prospects for dating. There were the four-article-per-week deadlines, the trips to Capitol Hill to report on the progress of George W. Bush’s Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, a disastrous war going on in Iraq, and, last but not least, the cultural desert that was Northwest Washington: the contrary of my experience in 2001–2004 downtown New York Urban area and Brooklyn.

“As its blithe title suggests, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love is a coming-of-age comedy, a polished film that resembles a lesbian version of Risky Business. One of the heroines is Randy Dean (Laurel Holloman), who looks boyish and is the subject of pointed gossip by other girls at her tall school. ‘Did you hear about her family?’ one of them asks. ‘They’re, like, all lesbians there!’ They are. The film loads its premise even more, with every possible racial, sexual and economic conflict.“The first feature written and directed by Maria Maggenti, Two Girls exists in a place where almost everyone is gay or potentially gay, a mirror-world of most mainstream movies.
