100 Women We Love: Class of 2009
Once again, we celebrate our favorite out and proud women. As difficult as it is to narrow it down to just 100, this year’s eclectic list includes artists, athletes, club promoters, community organizers, entertainers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, politicians and plaintiffs, who are making a difference in our world and the world at large.

“’I Didn’t Just Kiss Her’” was intended as a humorous, fictional, and openly lesbian response to Katy Perry’s ‘I Kissed A Girl’,” singer/songwriter Jen Foster says of her catchy tune that recently rocked the gay airwaves. She explains, “Once the title came to me, the song just flowed – and I wrote it in a couple of hours. It was really fun to write, for obvious reasons.” The clever ditty, about doing it with a straight woman who wants to “keep it all a secret” racked up 30,000 plays on MySpace in the first week after it was released. This month, Foster will launch a quarterly songwriters’ series in Nashville called The Writer’s Share, featuring hit songwriters in both the country and pop genres, and her new album Thirty-Nine will be released this summer. -CB
