American queer filmmaker Nicole Conn, creator of A Perfect Endingand More Beautiful For Having Been Broken, is presenting a new dating show and the very first one ever for queer women competing for love. (about time eh!)
Titled Coming Out For Love, the show will premiere on Valentine’s Day this year, with two episodes launched together. The show will be hosted by super successful lesbian model, actress, LGBTQ+ activist, and all-out icon Jessica Clark, who, by the way was the hot lead in Usher’s Burn music video
Coming Out For Love (COFL) will showcase sixteen queer women living together in a beautiful Palm Springs villa, the Palm Palace. They will be participating in a combination of physical and emotional challenges every week, in the hopes of winning keys to unlock the heart of Season One’s first Single, none other than the gorgeous influencer and activist Amber Whittington.
The show promises to be charming, entertaining, soapy, and fun – all the things you would normally expect from standard reality TV. However, being the first lesbian dating show of its kind, it also takes things a step further from the point of view of representation. At a time when most of the well-known, mega-popular dating shows remain strictly heterosexual and largely non-inclusive, Coming Out For Love provides a much-needed authentic view of the queer community.
For showrunner Nicole Conn, sapphic visibility is at the core of COFL. “I’ve always been labeled a pioneer and am proud to have the first female-loving-female reality dating competition show.”
Conn is thrilled to be joined by Amber Whittington for this first season. “She is the absolute strongest first lead we could have ever imagined and everyone in America will fall in love with her.”
Amber Whittington, who you might know from Kill in the Blank, is a true social media icon for queer women. Her YouTube Amber’s Closet and Instagram platform have provided advice, guidance, and feelings of hope to queer women all around the world.
You can watch Amber navigate the attractions of sixteen women in a beautiful setting on 14 February, with new episodes dropping weekly following the premiere. The show will be available on the streaming service LesFlicks, including four free introductory episodes and the offshoot show, Coming Out After Dark, hosted by comedian and emcee Shawna McLaughlin.
