So, Your Girlfriend Is A Lesbian...
Okay - so, every guy's nightmare has come true to you: you've been replaced by another woman. Ouch. Now, there's a whole host of reasons why this could have happened. Maybe, you were that bad of a boyfriend to her (nah). Maybe, she always knew she was gay and this was a case of extremely bad timing (very possible). Or, maybe, you've awakened a long-mythologized female chromosome that will inevitably drive all women into the arms of the nearest Rosie O'Donnell look-a-like (totally believable). Thanks for ruining the party for the rest of us. Anyway, before mankind sees it's untimely demise to The Sapphic Menace, take heart in the multitude of options available to get over your ex and move on. First things first, stop watching them make out.
Before you go off the deep end, and start hating on the Power of Pink, why not put in some volunteer hours at The LGBT Community Center? Yeah, maybe it seems like you’re rubbing it in your own face, but community service doesn’t hurt, either. Besides, you never know who you’ll get awesome dating advice from.

Katy Perry
Feminist icon, or annoying gimmick songstress? I argue the latter. Sure, “I Kissed A Girl” has definitely been burning up the charts with its “controversial” content, but is the LGBT community really all that excited?
Cubbyhole
281 West 12th Street New York, NY 10014
According to every girl I talked to (meaning two), Cubbyhole is apparently the only 24-7 dyke bar where ladies can be ladies in New York City. The drink specials are supposed to be pretty awesome (plus, they have a great jukebox). So, why throw on some acid wash, don a mullet, and make your way down there. Just remember: look, but don’t touch.
Portia di Rossi
She’s Ellen’s wife and, man, what a wife. Lesbian since birth. Check. Funniest TV actress out there. Check. Straight men of the world: zero. Lesbian population: one. Just in case anyone’s keeping score.
Bone up – pardon the pun – on some modern-day feminism at this coffee shop cum bookstore. Blue Stockings is well-known for its deviant tastes, but trying to understand the plight of the woman is its specialty. Just ask the female baristas.

Batwoman
DC Comics recently scored one for tolerance with the introduction of the new Batwoman in 2006. Not only is she Jewish, but she’s gay on top of that. Apparently that “friendship” she had with Bruce Wayne, actually was only a friendship. Alright fine, so she’s not into dudes… is it still weird if I want her to beat me up?
Follow the adventures of Batwoman, Strangers In Paradise, and whatever else soothes your bruised ego in the comic world. Jim Hanley’s collection is monstrous. Not unlike the chip you may or may not still have on your shoulder.

Tegan and Sara
Lesbian twin sister folk rock duo? Yes, believe it. They’re from Canada – go figure. There last album, The Con, is supremely good. Fourteen tracks of heartache, break-up sex, and regret. Congratulations, emo boys – you’ve just been outdone by the lesbians.
Go run off and satisfy your inner sexual cravings. No one is going to fault you for that. Open your mind to the history of sexual development in Western Civilization. Yes, they have a porn room. No, it’s not a viewing booth. Keep it in your pants… SERIOUSLY.

Kim’s is famous for it’s wide collection of underground and alternative cinema. So, really want to understand what’s going on in your girlfriend’s head? Why not pick up But, I’m A Cheerleader…, or Bound, or She Hate Me. Just to make yourself feel a little better, throw in a couple of Star Wars movies, too.

Chasing Amy was always one of my favorite flicks. Granted, I can understand why all my lesbian friends also hate it. That being said, I get what Kevin Smith was saying: love is love, don’t question it. Plus, Joey Lauren Adams makes a cute lipstick.
Tila Tequila
Just when you thought Paris Hilton set the cultural enlightenment bar low, Tila Tequila takes it to new depths. Every generation has their gimmick artist, and we were due very soon. Enter Tila: no discernible talent, except the ability to remind everyone how bisexual she is. I believe I hear the sound of Divine’s ghost choking on her own tongue.
Okay, so you’re seriously thinking about stalking your ex and her new girl. Why, dude? It’s not going to help anyone. But, if you’d like to “casually” bump into her over brunch than Ruby Fruit seems like the place you’d do it at. Besides being a huge draw in the LGBT community, their brunch is supposed to be awesome.

Stock up on all the porn you can! Nothing like a pity party for you and… you.
Rivers Cuomo pretty much hit “miserable undergrad existence” nail on the head with the Weezer album, Pinkerton. It was it’s lead-off single though – “Pink Triangle” – that stated the pain of the generation. In it, the protagonist gets the cold shoulder from his college crush for another female co-ed. Oh Rivers, it’s not you… it’s the whining.
I Love The Ladies (And So Does She...)
Feeling better? Awesome! Prove it by catching Tegan and Sara over at Terminal 5. Though randomly located uptown, Terminal 5 has become home to some of music’s best emerging artists. Plus, you’re bound to meet your fair share of bisexual indie chicks there. What better way to rebound than with someone who’s been through equally psychotic territory?
