Before the 1994 film Go Fish, lesbian films traditionally were tragic. An accident would befall the lesbian, killing her, in films like The Fox (1967) and The Children’s Hour (1961), or she would reject lesbianism and turn toward men (Personal Best, 1982). The films punished lesbians for their sexuality and illegitimatized their identity by presenting it as a phase. Go Fish shatters that mold by presenting a relatively drama-free film about the everyday lives of lesbians and the lesbian community. In the first scene of Go Fish, a women studies’ professor, Kia, leads her class in speculating which historical figures, celebrities, and fictional characters are lesbians.
