Real Happy Love Story: I Can't Think Straight

To all my fellow lesbians who are desperately hoping for a good relationship to work, well,

Listen not to our judgmental society

But to your hearts and minds

Because here is a happy lesbian love story

Between Shamim Sarif and Hanan Kattan:

Shamim Sarif is an award-winning novelist, scriptwriter, director and blogger. If you're beginning to feel hopeless about your lesbian lovelife, just visit her blog:

Shamim comically shares some personal stories about her life with Hanan Kattan and some insights on raising their two boys. (Yes, they built a family together!)

Inspired by their relationship and struggles, Shamim and Hanan turned their love story into a romantic-comedy movie, I Can't Think Straight and it has garnered many awards around the world.

My snapshot from the movie 

In I Can't Think Straight, Tala, an Arab-Christian and engaged to a wealthy man in her home-country, Lebanon, meets a London-raised Muslim and aspiring writer, Leyla. It would seem that they have more-than-enough reason to give up on their relationship or opt to end it in tragedy (like Romeo and Juliet). But this movie (and their real-life choices) is testament that odds could be defied simply by having strong characters and true love. 


Tala was played by Lisa Ray while Leyla was played by Sheetal Sheth. Both are gorgeous actresses who played their roles very well; the on-screen chemistry was very apparent. 

Let's now pray that the Enlightenment Productions will push-through with I Can't Think Straight TV series (yes, Sharif-Kattan also owns and runs a movie company).
