Queer Female Celebrities That Are Cool At Being Single

It’s not all about being in a relationship and these queer celebs show us just how much fun it can also be when you are single.

Azmarie Livingston

Azmarie is known from cycle 18, when 14 models from the UK and USA for the top model title. Azmarie was dating Raven Symone at the time but is now single and she seems to be killing the singledom lifestyle.

Michelle Rodriguez

Michelle has had a few causal relationships but rumour has it she is very much single at the moment and judging by some recent snaps that have hit the press she seems to be loving every minute of it.

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan’s marriage ended in 2014 and since then she has been rumoured to have been dating a few other women, but nothing serious. Apparently, she is concentrating on bringing up her son and focusing on her acting career. Good on her.

Samantha Ronson

Since Samantha split with Lilo she has turned her life around and is no longer going out getting wasted and appearing in our daily newspapers. Instead her DJ career has gone from strength to strength and she has quit smoking. See how positive being single can be sometimes?

Amber Rose

Our favourite out bisexual has been the talk of the town during 2016 for her antics on twitter and her own off romances. However, it seems she is currently single at the moment and really doesn’t need anyone else to make her happy or secure.

Brandy Clark

Brandy has done an amazing job of putting the queer trail all over the country music scene and she is currently on tour. She hasn’t been officially tied to anyone so she is another queer gal managing quite well as a single and taking the world by a storm at the same time.

Fox’s ‘Empire’ is Casting a Butch Female Rapper for Season 2

According to reports, the Empire’s producers are on the hunt for an actress to play the recurring, potentially breakout role of Betty Barz – a “moody, outspoken” teenage rapper who’ll be introduced in Season 2.

Betty, who’s also known as “Betty Gathers” and “The Queen O’ 16S” is described as African-American, “unapologetically butch,” and something of a hometown hero in her “Brownsville-Never-Ran-Never-Will, Brooklyn” neighbourhood.

Her undeniable talent has led to her winning “more rhyme battles and girls’ hearts than the best male vets on her block.”

We’re guessing “winning girls’ hearts” means the new character is a lesbian, but then again…

The character is set to be introduced in the season opener of the show titled “The Devils Are Here” and despite the fact that she’s “charismatic and witty with a street lean,” the artist’s road to fame with the titular entertainment company won’t be an easy one.

Co-created by out director Lee Daniels, the first season was lauded for shining a spotlight on a range of LGBT issues, among them child abuse, coming out, and homophobia in the world of hip-hop. But there’s always more ground to cover.

The show already features AzMarie’s (America’s Next Top Model star, partner to Raven-Symoné), who plays character is Chicken – a masculine of centre, queer woman of colour.

Chicken is best friends with Hakeem, played by Yazz the Greatest, heir apparent of the Empire throne. Chicken collaborates with Hakeem musically throughout the show and was the DJ for Hakeem’s premiere at the opening of New York’s City hottest nightclub, Leviticus, during the climax of Empire’s second episode. She is also set to be in season two.

Empire‘s Season 2 premiere is being written by executive producers Danny Strong and The L word’s Ilene Chaiken.

With Out Academy Award nominee, director Lee Daniels (‘Precious’ and ‘The Butler’), Emmy Award winner Danny Strong leading, along with show-runner Ilene Chaiken behind the project, there is a strong LGBT essence to this project.

And it has been hinted that AzMarie will be playing someone queer. Her character is named ‘Chicken’.

Empire is described as “… a sexy and powerful new drama about the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne.”

The all-star cast includes Terrence Howard as the king of hip-hop, Taraji P. Henson, Jussie Smollett (playing Howard’s the gay son) and Gabourey Sidibe.

Raven Symone Questioned about her Sexuality (again!)

Raven Symone is know for her many acting roles – playing the cute grand-child of Bill Cosby in the Cosby Show, ruling the Disney Channel airwaves with That’s so Raven and The Cheetah Girls. Then making her Broadway debut playing Deloris van Cartier in the musical Sister Act. She has also featured in films such as College Road Trip, The Princess Diaries 2, Dr. Dolittle and its sequel Dr. Dolittle 2 alongside Eddie Murphey.

But last August she made a stir, when she sent pro-gay marriage tweet from her twitter account.

Many thought the actress was coming out about her sexuality, when she tweeted, “I can finally get married! Yay government! So proud of you.” The message was in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Defense of Marrriage Act that prevented same-sex couples form tying the knot.

Raven Symone Twitter 01

Appearing last week on the daily talk show Just Keke, Symone was asked a long question by host Keke about the tweet, what it meant and what the feedback was. Keke wanted to know once and for all whether Raven was digitally waving her pride flag because she’s a lesbian or whether it was just a sign of solidarity.

“I’ll just say I love my LGBT community and I’m part of them for always… Girl, I sent it because people are raising stupid laws. Period.”

Raven Symone

More recently Raven made waves when she debuted a colorful new look on Instagram after she dyed her hair purple with highlights from all over the rainbow. She explained that her new look was met with a little coroporate opposition, but she wasn’t going to let business determine her self-expression.

‘You have to be confident in who you are no matter what your team, background noise or front-ground noise makes. You have to stay strong. … It’s hard because people want to continue the brand, continue the look that they created to, I’m being honest, they want continue that look that made them money for so long but sometimes it doesn’t always coincide with who you are as a person.’

Lesbian Fashion Icons – Yes We Have Them, and WOW They’re Hot

Our list of Lesbian Fashion Icons. From the way they wear a shirt, to the cut of their blazers, lesbian celebrities are certainly making their mark and the age of dyke chic is here…

Beth Ditto

We just adore Beth Ditto’s style. Why, because there is no one in this world quite like her or in her league when it comes to fashion. Known for her band, Gossip, Beth Ditto radical feminist ora could not give a crap if she is a size 26, as she has never heard of the term “self conscious”. In fact, give her an item of clothing three sizes too small and she’d be all over it. Her brightly coloured Lycra playsuits seem to be her favourite. She’s loud and proud and we look up to this.

Ruby Rose

Ruby Rose certainly knows what she’s going to wear in the morning before she steps out the front door. She is the definition of style – tattoo’d sleeve, vests and skinny jeans is her signature outfit, along with quirky piece of jewellery, which she nails it every time. Ms Rose came out as a big lesbian young, and since then she has always had this edgy cool look about her – she is a women who know’s what she wants in life and that is always a positive thing.

Kate Moennig

In The L Word, Kate Moennig played the tomboy / butch, against the ultra femme backdrop. In playing Shane, she has started a trend, which queer girls all over the world began to copy. The look is simple – white vests with blazers, converse on feet, and straight black hair with a floppy fringe. Most want to be her, and in the L word every lesbian wanted her. Her just-out-of-bed hair, is now the definition of ‘alternative lifestyle haircut’ – its bends gender.

Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen’s classic suits, crisp trousers, body-conscious sweaters and vests are tailored to be youthful, trendy and flattering. Matched with bright, playful colours and worn with sporty white trainers, Ellen have carved a fashion look that American go crazy for. She is the lesbian staple when it comes to fashion – she proves that menswear is not just for stone butches, but soft and fuzzy day-time-TV super stylist divas too.

AzMarie Livingston

Far from being a classic metropolitan girl, AzMarie Livingston hails from the conservative mid-west town of Milwaukee Wisconsin. Standing almost 5’10″, AzMarie gay essence certainly informs her fashion style. Blazing her own trail, she is unafraid to show her tattoos and sports a crew cut. Her look is unique and she is stunning. We completely understand why Raven-Symoné is smiling so sweetly now.
