Reading the article now, but I can think of one movie with lesbian characters where they end up neither dead nor broken up: Bound. (So Patrick, if you're reading, feel free to suggest that one!)

If you ignore the last 10 minutes of Kissing Jessica Stein it's actually a very sweet romance. Until she decides she's not gay, despite having spent the majority of the movie absolutely in love with this woman...

Oh! Better Than Chocolate. I think those two ended up together!

Oh yes! I loved "Better Thank Chocolate"! I haven't seen Kissing Jessica Stein, but if/when I do I'll make sure to stop it 10 minutes before the end of the film and headcannon "And they lived happily ever after" my ownself.

I love Kissing Jessica Stein (it's one of my favorite films) and I don't think that it suffers from the reveal that Jessica in the end prefers men, her whole relationship ship with Helen is handled well and I see the film as being more about Jessica finding herself and Helen being instrumental part of her journey. The scenes between Jess/Helen are fantastic but I think the end romance does make sense - they hint at the possibility of the other romance throughout the film so while I was somewhat surprised at the twist it's not like it came out of nowhere.

It's been awhile, but yeah "Better Than Chocolate!" was fantastic and sweet.

...the only other I can think of off the top of my head is "But I'm a Cheerleader", which has some bumps, but does have a cute happy ending. It also has RuPaul out of drag and Bull from Nightcourt /priorities

I just replayed that in the past week and twitched when I encountered it. *sigh*
