Orange is the New Black
Looking at the most modern TV drama with lesbians, bisexuals, transexuals etc. containing the most obvious portrayals of stereotypes we've seen that there are 2 different types of stereotypes, not just the 'all lesbians are butch' one. We've also seen how hair and make up can portray sexuality as in Orange is the New Black they are limited to hair and make-up as all costumes are the same.
We have conformed more to the 'lipstick lesbian' stereotype, especially with the Layla character. We did this intentionally to add to the stereotype of female killers being seductive and mysterious.
