Photo 8 Jan 384 notes gingerberrycat: vintagelesbian: butch-in-progress: It isn’t in the Water, it’s in the Seed [K] Let me introduce you to A Florida Enchantment - a film produced in 1914 which isn’t only one of the earliest depictions of homosexuality on the silver screen, but also the earliest one to settle the question about the origin of homosexuality once and for all… unfortunately, no one remembers. And no, it’s not music videos. Here’s how it works: The film’s protagonist pops a magical seed which causes some gender confusion, a.k.a her transformation into a glorious butch, as she starts dancing with and hitting on girls, donning a suit and being all around better at being ‘male’ than all those guys around her, which makes her fiancee decide to also try the seed on himself. Mayhem (and entertainment) ensues. You can watch the 3.30 minute condensation of the film here, or purchase the whole thing here. Wonderful! EDIT: ok, So sometimes I reblog videos before I watch them, which is a problem, but I’ve just watched the YouTube condensed version. After viewing, i feel like i should warn that there’s a lot blackface in it. It’s really distracting and off putting. I just thought id add a warning for anyone who avoid such things. Aw, dammit, I didn’t watch it first either.
