Cate Blanchett's Groundbreaking Lesbian Roles

MY FAVOURITE ACTRESS EVER! Followed by Tilda Swinton! ❤️

Great review. You might want to add julienne Moore to this list

Call it LGBTQ content and just stop with pretending is mainstream content. Had enough of these lose sexual morals being forced upon young girls.

Rooney Mara has played many gay roles, also.

.Cate Blanchett is not a lesbian icon,she is lesbian

En efecto TAR no es sólo una película lésbica,es muchas cosas más;sin embargo la gran directora es lesbiana con esposa e hija,ésto no es cualquier cosa...Cate la r maravilla de persona y de actriz no te demerita,no afecta nada tuyo,ni siquiera eres responsable de que tantas mujeres te amemos

I was in love with Cate Blanchett from the moment my English teacher played 'Elizabeth' for us

Blanchett, truly the angel flung from space. 💜💕💜💕. ( Rainbow of pantsuits🤣 😂 not sure that’s as much gay as bad taste) top notch actress where very few words are needed

I’m late to the game and don’t know if it’s been brought up but I’d say Julian Moore is a lesbian icon and does it well.

Es fascinante la manera que acepta como ícono lésbico. No la afecta lo disfruta.

There's something about Cate, and everything she does! Seductive in most everything she plays...I love it!

I'd love to see her for once with beautiful hair highlights.
Less one color full process yellow.
Can you imagine her with subtle low lights in her natural dirty blonde with buttery & bright champagne highlights?
She, Madonna & Nicole Kidman are three very fair skinned women with the access to the best colorists in the world & all three choose either mousy blond in the same color as their skin or processed looking yellow blonde
Just kinda perplexing.
She does look gorgeous in red shades too.
The bright blonde in Oceans 11 looked amazing even though it was all one color, the tone was gorgeous.

Fandor described Cate Blanchett perfectly in their essay:
"She's starring in a nearly billion-dollar blockbusters but she still admires acting as if she's a hungry drama student."

Cate? Oh Cate!!! 💋💋💋💋

She’s a great actress, and the characters she portrays feel like complex people with a life and personality traits that may or may not include romantic and sexual attraction to women.

Thank you for making this ❤

For me Cate will always be Galadriel, The One to Rule Them All.

She is very charismatic ,Tar was outstanding

Ugh.

She married to a man. Not that (to a man) matters but why can't people just acknowledge just how talented an actress she is. It's not just her lesbian roles that shes been superb in. I think she great and can't wait to see her again and again. 👏

🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely, she is the lesbian icon. I love her for representing lesbian characters on screen.

It's because she's believable. Her roles in these pieces are never forced.

Loving Annabelle is disgusting.
Do not especially for our community support adults romancing teenagers.
It's sick.

Beautiful work, i enjoyed it a lot thank you

If it wouldn't have been for her role in Carol, i wouldn't have figured out i like women

when you say "A-list actor" you should say "the best actor", she's the best!

As a gay man, I’m enamoured by her. No matter what she does it’s always A+. Undoubtedly one of the greatest actors in cinema history.

PS: She was snubbed for her masterful performance in TAR

Blanchett is a brilliant actor, regardless of what roles she plays. That she has done a lot of lesbian roles is just the sugar on top. Absolutely amazing woman, surprisingly humble and very damn funny.

I love that Tár isn’t a “lesbian film”. It really doesn’t have much to do with lesbianism, nor is it about it. It’s just a regular movie where the main character happens to be gay and married to a woman. And I think it’s so amazing that we’ve come to a point where a movie can feature a gay lead and still not make that fact the entire plot of the movie. That’s exactly what we need more of in hollywood. Just a lot more casual lgbtq+ representation in different genres. That and lesbian rom/coms. I want a lot of lesbian rom/coms because I (as a lesbian) love rom/coms but they’re always about straight people and lesbian movies are always either dramatic or erotic. Which is fine too but like, why can’t we have both?

She is an incredible actress. Period. The rest lies in the minds ofothers

Cool analysis!

wonderful commentary and wonderful actress and in wonderful movies

For your icon list, these are mentioned in the comments :
Sarah Paulson, Suranne Jones, Lucy Lawless, Natasha Lyon

As if she weren't enough of a lesbian icon, Cate Blanchett just rocked Glastonbury! The lady is a legend!

Her L icon journey starts from Life Aquatic when the main character says “she looks like a lesbian” about Cate’s character, guys it’s the bone structure

CATE BLANCHETT ES LA BELLEZA EN TODO SU ESPLENDOR...❤😊🥰😘

She's definitely a sapphic icon. Surrane Jones is an even bigger one, purposely playing gay or bi multiple times. She played the greatest lesbian role ever of Anne Lister, "The First Modern Lesbian", in Gentleman Jack. She looks so insanely natural at kissing women (and I have to give a shout out to Sophie Rundle, who plays her wife Ann Walker, also now a sapphic icon in her own right). She's currently filming Vigil season 2. A show in which Rose Leslie is her love interest. I get shivers just thinking about them together. 🔥🥰😅

WOW

Natasha Lyonne is definitely another lesbian icon

Oh yes, I agree that Cate is an icon for lesbians. I would also nominate Suranne Jones who 'becomes' Anne Lister in "Gentleman Jack". No female actors could move me more than this duo.

What's tiresome is when these actors are harassed about their private lives. Gay, straight, transgender. Who cares! She's an actor doing what she's supposed to do in a role such as Carol. As for the Variety interviewer, she understood the question but chose to answer it coyingly.
And this may be a surprised to some, but heterosexual woman are often hit on, flirted with, whatever you want to call it, by other heterosexual women - i know this all too well 😅.
Does it make me question my sexuality? No. While i enjoy sex with men, i don't think fot one second i would turn down a casual encounter with a beautiful woman like Ms. Blanchett...

carol is best

absolutely adore Cate Blanchette!

First, have the closed captioning correctly spell "Cate" with a "C" not a "K". Second, her surprise about the far reaching positive impact of "Carol" and her role in it doesn't make sense. How could she not know it would?

I saw Tar. she looked so beautiful

SEMPLICEMENTE SONTUOSA ,PER COME SEI, PER CIÒ CHE FAI.VERA ICONA GAY.👏👏👏

She's Cate and she has her own magic. Tremendous actress!

I love cate blanchett. She is one of my favorite actors and if in honest she is totally on my freeby list. That being said it frustrates me some that there is so much focus on that she plays gay, of people getting made when other straight people play gay.

So I hear it's between 3-5% of population os gay (in one way or another). Fine. So shouldnt 5% of the characters on TV be gay? Shouldn't 5% of the main characters be gay? Why is there such an issue with straight playing gay? I don't care if gay plays straight or straight play gay.

I just venting. I do enjoy these videos and wish we have more good films featuring characters that more represent.
