Gillian Anderson & Lily Rabe Bring Eleanor Roosevelt’s Queer Love Story to Life in The First Lady

BY RACHEL SHATTO

MARCH 02 2022 11:32 AM EST

Fresh off her turn as Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, Gillian Anderson is set to star as another powerful historical woman, Eleanor Roosevelt — and this time the role is decidedly queerer.

There’s been plenty of debate about just how intimate the former first lady’s relationship was with trailblazing journalist Lorena Hickok (Lily Rabe) but in the upcoming Showtime anthology series The First Lady that debate is settled.

Showrunner Cathy Schulman confirmed to reporters at the Television Critics Association in February that the series will explore their romantic relationship. “It was time to do it,” she explained.

In the trailer, the audience can get a handful of glimpses of what’s to come this season. At one point, the two dance and in another Roosevelt takes Hickok’s face in her hands. It’s intimate, sweet, and very gay.

ER and Hick, as they called one another, were first acquainted when Hickok became convinced — and assured her editors at the Associated Press — that Roosevelt would make for a great story. “The dame has enormous dignity, she’s a person,” Hickok told her boss after seeing the first lady at the 1932 Democratic convention. She lobbied the publication for the White House beat and not only got it, but so much more. The two became so close that Hickok resigned from her position at the AP because she could no longer be objective about her subject.

Much of what is known about their relationship comes from intimate letters between the two of them, where they shared how they were always in one another’s thoughts. “I want to put my arms around you and kiss you at the corner of your mouth,” Hickok once wrote to Roosevelt, who reciprocated by saying how she yearned to hold Hickok in her arms as well.

While this romance has often been downplayed, The First Lady — which also focuses on Michelle Obama’s (Viola Davis) and Betty Ford’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) times in the White House — is finally not shying away from queerness this time around.

The First Lady premieres April 17 on Showtime. Watch the trailer below.

Her frustration reaches a tipping point, and she posts an ad in one of the lesbian fetish sites on the internet looking for a female that shares her same fantasies and fetishes. Her ad is bombarded with sickos and sleazeballs looking for cheap thrills. Even couples looking for threesomes.

A hundred replies and she only found one that really spoke to her needs. Now fraught with self-doubt, and fear of discovery she tries to talk herself out of replying to that single response that caught her eye. Cassandra. Pondering her dead-end relationship with her husband, Kristen boldly calls Cassandra and arranges a meeting. Will Cassandra be the genuine article or just another leading Kristen along?

Tracy was always precocious and was always testing the waters of sensuality whenever the situations presented themselves.

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE THIS STORY

Tracy was an early bloomer physically. That in itself changed the trajectory of the girl’s life as both boys and girls were anxious to explore the treasures Tracy obviously possessed. By the time she was eighteen, she found dominating women a powerful turn-on that started her on her twisted travels through life.

At eighteen, Tracy had a proclivity toward mature women, and the nubile young girl drew women twice her age to her like a magnet. Tracy learned to sense their attempts at seduction and leveraged it to twist any potential seductress to her will, demonstrating her skills of domination and humiliation.

The precocious girl always believed that playing doctor with the easily manipulated girlfriends fueled her passion to become a nurse. Once her desire to become a nurse was achieved, Tracy felt that joining the Air Force would be an ideal move for a myriad of reasons. Money is one but not the only thing drawing her toward the military. Her position of power, especially over attractive females, actually tip the scales in her decision-making process.

Right after graduation, Lena found a job that aligned with her major; her career seemed to be the right fit, but her social life had stagnated and she was unable to find the type of lesbian activities she enjoyed in college.

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE THIS STORY

Lena discovered while in college that she was a lesbian. Not just a lesbian, but one that enjoyed the rougher stuff. She was not into bondage, but she did like to be dominated. Her search for such a lifestyle outside her work was non-existent.

Then a director on loan to her branch office Jenna arrived and quickly observed Lena’s behaviors that telegraphed her special kind of needs. Playing hard to get the new director unexpectedly offers Lena a ride home after work. The director comes in for coffee and without much of a preamble soon has Lena over her knees, for a spanking.

Jenna was just the tip of the iceberg since she had other friends that were more than willing to provide Lena with all the rough treatment she desired. The relationship, unfortunately, proved the old maxim: ‘Too much of a good thing is bad.’ Lena’s encounters with the various tough girls take their toll and she looks for a way to tone down the frantic passions that she had once been addicted.

By Mey Rude

America Chavez is about to break into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel’s number one lesbian superhero, America has long been a fan favorite in the comics, and it’s about time we get to know her on the big screen. Soon we’ll get that chance as she appears in the upcoming film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, coming out May 6.

From casting and previews, we know that her character will be quite different from her beloved comics version, but as of now, we don’t know exactly how. So before you watch the movie, here’s what you should know about the flirty and powerful Latina lesbian.

1. Her First Appearance

Chavez was first created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta in the Vengeance #1 comic, but she looked and acted pretty differently. When she first appeared, she was a part of the Teen Brigade with Ultimate Nullifier. That team fought against the supervillain team the Young Masters of Evil.

2. Her (First) Origin Story

America’s origin story has actually changed in the comics. The first origin we were given for the character was that she was born on the alternate reality planet of Utopian Parallel, an all-female world. But when the Utopian Parallel was about to be destroyed, her mothers sacrificed themselves and as a result, Chavez ran away, traveling through different multiverses. She came to Earth, specifically a Puerto Rican neighborhood of New York City, where she was accepted as a part of the community.

3. And Her Revamped Origin

More recently though, America’s origin has been revamped. It was revealed she had a previously unknown sister, Catalina, who helped America remember that her parents were not aliens, but human doctors named Amalia and Elena Chavez. They took their daughters to a private island called the Utopian Parallel to attempt to cure the disease Edges Syndrome. However, they soon found out the island’s owner had evil plans for their daughters and sacrificed themselves trying to free them. Only America got out. Her sister suggested that America made up the alien story as a coping method.

4. Her Powers

America Chavez possesses the power of flight, super speed, super strength, and durability, making her able to go toe-to-toe with some of Marvel’s strongest heroes. She can also kick open star-shaped holes in reality that allow her and her friends to travel throughout the multiverse. This power seems to be especially useful in the upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

5. Her Personality

America is known for her headstrong confidence and bold flirting. She’s never been afraid to flirt with other female superheroes, and quite often it works. She also likes to do things her own way, and when others tell her, “America, no” she responds by saying, “America, yes!” With her dimension-hopping powers, she’s become quite independent, but she also learned to love her chosen family with the Young Avengers.

Jana Wilson, a high school graduate has struggled with her sexual orientation most of her life. The seductive allure of the convent life leads her to join the Sister of St. Francis.

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK

Jana Wilson has finally come to a decision to get some clarity about her sexual orientation. Still, on the fence about her feeling for boys and girls, she narrows it down to two choices for arriving at a solution. The Air Force or the Sisters of St. Francis. Surprisingly, Jana picks the convent.

Knowing she has little time before she leaves for her new life, she vows to herself to get more information to verify she made an informed choice. She answers an ad on a lesbian website and agrees to meet with a woman twice her age. She skillfully convinces the older lesbian to meet with her and get some hands-on experience with another woman.  The rendezvous only leads her to more questions, and she continues her lesbian hunt right up to her departure.

Once armed with basic training in lesbian sex, she finds she is drawn to older women. It is almost a fetish with her. She loved the thrill of the seduction, both the hunting and being hunted. She lamented that she gained all the experience in a short time but would most likely have little opportunity to demonstrate her skills while ensconced in a convent.
