Rule #1. Must be a stud or a femme. Nothing in-between -- Rule #2. No stud on stud -- White lesbians vs. black lesbians -- Rule #3. No bisexuals! -- Rule #4. No pregnant studs |
| Summary |
"The Same Difference" shines a light on the all-too-often ignored problem of homophobia and gender discrimination within the black lesbian community. Onuorah's fascinating and original documentary examines what happens when lesbians discriminate against each other over violations of the strict code that separates butches from femmes. The film examines how these behaviors reproduce the homophobic oppression and masculine privilege of the straight world, while looking for solutions in compelling discussions with community members. Self-identified studs - and the women who love them - discuss hypocrisy in terms of gender roles, performative expectations, and the silent disciplining that occurs within the community. ... The Same Difference highlights relationships and experiences within the queer female community, intersecting race, gender and sexuality"--Container |
