    • It would have been exploitative. There’s no point in adding lesbian sex in there just for the sake of it.

  5. Makes me sick that Hollywood still passes this tired tropes . Love Lady G, but Salma Hayek would be the most unbelievable lipstick lesbian imaginable.

    Good thing leaving it on the cutting room floor, but it never should have been filmed in the first place.
