We lock ourselves up with a bunch of documentaries about religion and homosexuality, including For the Bible Tells Me So, Deliver Us From Evil, Tying the Knot, Religulous and Trembling Before G-d.

When Did You Know You Were a Lesbian? Shocking Stories of Self-Discovery in the Roundtable Part 2

When did you know you were gay? Kate McKinnon found her inner gay on the X-Files, Rachel Maddow used “rational deduction” — and Autostraddle presents our own personal stories of sexual awakening.

Sweet Sweet Charlene of Logo’s “Gimme Sugar”: The Autostraddle Interview

“You have to break the shell, be okay with who you are regardless of the cameras and know that there’s someone out there who’s gonna relate to you. There’s no character space so if you’re not yourself that shuts off the whole reason for reality TV. Especially when it’s something about lesbians — that’s for everyone, even for gay boys, we’re fighting for visibility.”
