Pam Walton – Lesbians (1986)

Kira Deshler wrote:
In 1986, documentarian Pam Walton released a short film simply titled Lesbians. The video captures three lesbians – Diane Porath, Dianne Rhudy, and Marilyn Watkins – discussing their lives and opinions. Or, as the cheeky synopsis reads, “Three politically incorrect lesbians talk about being lesbian.”

Without any knowledge of Walton’s work, it would be easy to assume this is some sort of confrontational TV special. The interviewer (presumably Walton herself) asks the participants purposefully rude and offensive questions like “Don’t you need a man in your life?” and “Have you ever thought about getting help?” Part of what gives the gag away is how unpreturbed the women are by these questions, refuting wrongheaded assumptions calmly and with a sense of humor. […]

Still, despite its lighthearted tone, the film contains a clear message. While illustrating how funny, smart, and self-assured they are, the lesbians also make a point to share their normalcy. They want love, companionship, and a family like everyone else does, and they live quiet lives in the suburbs like millions of other Americans. (In fact, several years later, Walton made a longer documentary called Out In Suburbia, which also features Diane as one of its subjects.)
