The Young and the Lesbian
By Q. Kelly
She never expected to fall for her co-star.
Dash Bannon, a forty-seven-year-old soap opera actress with high aspirations, has been relegated to “dried-up relative in the corner” status, and that simply will not do. A career shakeup is in order, and Dash decides to hop onto the train of celebrities coming out as gay. One teeny problem—she isn’t really gay. On the other hand, she IS an actress.
One of Dash’s co-stars, reigning soap queen Jane Knight, is in similar straits, although few people realize the new lows Jane’s career has sunk to. Jane sees through Dash’s ploy, but she has an idea that could jump start both of their careers. It means they’ll have to get closer to each other. Much closer.
This story chronicles the women’s roller-coaster ride during the week that Dash comes out. As Jane and Dash spend time together and face obstacle after obstacle, they realize they have a true connection. Could love be in the air? Find out now in “The Young and the Lesbian.”
