Welcome to Lesbians On Screen, a labor of love by a small, independent collective of queer women dedicated to celebrating sapphic storytelling around the world.
Who We Are
We are a group of LGBTQ+ women—writers, media researchers, and longtime fans of lesbian and GL content. Based across different parts of Asia and America, we work together under pseudonyms to curate, review, and document lesbian-centered narratives in global cinema and television.
We built this site not for clicks, but out of a shared need: to find stories that reflect our lives, emotions, and relationships with honesty and depth.
Our Mission
Mainstream media often overlooks lesbian stories—or distorts them through the lens of male gaze or tokenism. Our mission is to provide a structured, heartfelt space where these narratives are organized, explored, and honored with care.
Whether it’s a forgotten Japanese drama, a groundbreaking Thai GL series, or a poetic French indie film—we want sapphic viewers to discover what resonates with them. And we want creators who tell these stories to be seen, remembered, and supported.
What We Cover
On this site, you’ll find:
-
Curated detail pages for lesbian/GL series and films
-
Thematic lists on age-gap, forbidden love, emotional repression, and more
-
Country-based sapphic film guides (France, India, China, etc.)
-
In-depth reviews that cover both narrative structure and emotional impact
Every piece is written by someone who watched the full show or film. We don’t publish AI-generated fluff—we care too deeply for that.
Our Experience & Editorial Process
Each editor on our team has watched hundreds of queer films and shows across multiple languages and cultures. Many of us have academic or professional backgrounds in media, screenwriting, or digital publishing.
Before publishing, we:
-
Cross-reference IMDb, official synopses, and director interviews
-
Fact-check character names, plot timelines, and cultural context
-
Add thoughtful emotional analysis from our lived experience as queer women
-
Link related titles to help viewers discover more sapphic content
We aim to balance structure (for searchability) with soul (for community).
