It would be nice if the cover girls were a real life couple. But are they?

They could be. But somehow I doubt it.

@GeriHew: who cares? that’s a fashion/beauty magazine, not ‘reality looks’ magazine.

Looks like a couple of fake lesbians to me. In any case, why congratulate Elle magazine? It exploits women.

@kayakriver: I care.

There are quite a few out queer women in fashion modelling.

So it’s not like Elle couldn’t have found any queer girls for this cover.

“There are feminists who advocate for IVF for lesbians, but who oppose surrogate mothers for gays because they denounce the commodification of women’s bodies.”

It is hypocrisy and double standards

@kvitka: There are all sorts of people who have a tendency to think to two mums ok, two dads not ok. Not just a minority of feminist women. I don’t agree with it, but I feel a frank discussion about what lies behind such prejudices would make for a painful debate.
