Their so-called embrace of lesbian characters is phony - it's a phony acceptance based on titillation. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that 95% of all lesbian depictions on American film/TV are from the perspective of sleazy straight guys.

There was supposed to be a lot of heavy homoeroticism throughout the story. Producers decided to change Ripley to a woman so it would stand out against the mostly male dominated genre.
