Tegan

should have been higher. This list made my day. Thanks to the AE staff for all the hard work!

Someone is missing.

Megan Fox should be on this list.  She is an out bisexual.  If this needs to be verified check the latest issue of Esquire.  And no it is not faux style. 

Also isn't stating Jodie Foster is out kind of pushing it.  I know she thanked her ex-girlfriend at an event once but I don't think of her as much of an out woman.

Megan Fox and Jodie Foster

Thanks for the tip about Megan, I actually hadn't seen that Esquire quote yet, but I just read it now, and have added her to the list.

Re: counting Jodie Foster as "out" — we've been doing that for awhile now (she was among the out women on last year's list), for the reasons I outline in the article "Lindsay Lohan and the New Definition of 'Out'." It's about how the definition of "out" has been expanded to include those who are out in their actions, as well as their words (the part specifically about Jodie is on the second page).

Michelle Paradise

If I had just seen the photo and had to guess who the person was, I never would have guessed her.  She looks SO different.
Steph's picture

Wow!

I barely recognized her!! She looks totally different. I like that photo though.

or Liz :( Liz has loads of

or Liz :( Liz has loads of supporters telling her she's hot in her vlog comments. Her Vlog is super popular (esp. if you compare say how many fb fans her vlog has compared to the other vlogs).. surprised she is not on the list..

What?!

What the heck happened to Kaki King? Bah. I'm so sad not to see her on here. Also, it saddens me to see Tegan voted hotter than Sara, but it happens often, so I might as well get used to it. I think both Tegan and Sara should've been higher, as well as Missy Higgins. AND! I reiterate, Kaki King should have made the list!

THANK YOU!

Dude, if you're looking for hot lesbians, then music is the way to go!!! I can't believe this!

Yeah I can't believe Tegan ranked SO much higher than Sara, they're both hilarious but Sara's attitude and particular brand of humor puts over over the top for me....

 

NO KAKI EFFING KING...sadness NO Kate Cooper And NO Carrie Brownstein NO Corin Tucker (i mean I know they're old school but w/e)....Almost no Amanda Palmer....geezus....

Why stop at 28?


I'm curious who made 29 & 30 since there are many more hot lesbians - Joan Jett, Cathy DeBuono, Suzanne Westenhoefer, Liz Feldman.
pancreas's picture

Just wondering

Which votes were counted to make this 20-30 list? Was it only the Hottest 100 runners up, or a combination of Hottest 100 runners up and Hottest Out Women votes?

The picture of Michelle Paradise is beautiful. Where do I see more?

I Like The "Out" List

I didn't know their was a new defintion of "out." I've tried to read the explaination in the articles but I'm still tad bit confused. So if a female says she open to be with a womyn or would to do whatever to so and so means their out. I've read the M. Fox quote I thought it was just for show. The reason I'm asking is b/c their are womyn in the woc community who are wayyyy more out than M Fox was expressing her fantasy towards another actress. Let's say (cough) Da Brat,the 90s  female rapper. If the straight black community know the race of your girlfriend and what she looks like and it is expressed on a radio show and you see this celeb on gay black magazines,I qualify that as out.  I don't if white LGBTQI community have their own and the A-A LGBTQI  community have their own. I think we do. Seriously, we are two very different pages.

   Oh well. Still this list is good one. Off to the WOC.

Reign's picture

umm

Umm yea actually I do think the AA-LGBTQI and the white LGBTQI community do have their own definitions. Mainly because the white one is more mainstream and gets more attention. Lindsay, Megan, and Jodie are more well known among mainstream America than Da Brat and several other AA women who are out in actions (ie: I just saw you at pride last weekend, and have seen you at several lesbian clubs around town before). 

Since the caucasian women are more well known they get to have a new definition of out. While the AA ladies get to pretend that they are still "in the closet" or whatever. Seriously though some of these  AA women aren't really even hiding it, they just haven't confirmed it either.

thanks AE

For broadening my horizons a bit. I didn't know enough hot (celeb) out females to vote in this category. Katja and Jessica Clark are definitely faves!

Michelle Paradise looks..wow!

I love Michelle Paradise but I had to read the caption to figure out who was in the photo. I wouldn't have guessed that was her. She looks great! (that's not to say she doesn't usually look great, she just looks different in this photo)
snazzynic's picture

Numbering is wonky?

Also, you're probably working on this right now but the numbering is a little messed up. I can only see two pages of the list too. I guess I was too distracted by the photos to notice that the first time haha
kookycat's picture

Erm where is Liz!?

She deserved to be on the list this year! I also voted for her in both lists, surprised she didn't make it... :(

Reply to Lunakiss

Lunakiss, You are referring to a previous article on Fox, one in which she did admit to a relationship with a stripper and to an attraction to Olivia Wilde.  I am referring to the issue of Esquire on the stands right now in which she not only states she is a bisexual but goes into detail that almost any bi woman or lesbian would recognize (while not necessarily agreeing with).  Yes, Megan Fox, who is honest enough to call herself a hypocrite, states the following (and it is something I doubt a straight person playing bi would ever think to express). 

"I have no question in my mind about being bisexual.  But I'm also a hypocrite.  I would never date a girl who is bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man."

Before cries of biphobia start, Fox is hardly the first bisexual woman turned off by having sex with women that have slept with a man.

Katja Nyberg

I wish you used this pic of Katja Nyberg

Katja Nyberg

can't believe she didn't make HOT Top 100 list, she's gorgeous, funny and incredibly cute. Not to mention this killer smile of hers and body to die for :)

Shalom's picture

I agree with you

I agree with you cynamonlover, strange that Katja didn't make the list.  Illogical!  Obviously, if we had our way...she'd be in the top but but maybe not enough people know of our beautiful Katja since she is rather shy and doesn't do as much press as Gro. 

And of course I'd have my lovely Rikke Skov on the list too, afterall, she is gay, married, and has two children with her wife!
