Kathleen Hanna rules.

“While my secret goal is to form a pop-sensational, ultra-queer, boi band supergroup, we’re mostly going to examine the media’s relationship with the queer community.”

I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly.

Autostraddle goes on the road to talk Internets, ladies, and the bright, bright future. Join Katrina C. Danger as she embarks on her journey to spread the good word.

Autostraddle is going on the road, the road to Smith College. Next Thursday, April 14, I, Katrina C. Danger will be venturing to this rumored Isle of Lesbos to lead a workshop!

“Admittedly, as a 21-year-old middle-class queer Asian woman, I probably do not share that many experiences with Saul Williams, except for maybe being from New York and having a profound appreciation for women’s bodies.”

So in order to include Andrea Gibson in this article, because we know you want us to, we (Carmen and KC Danger) decided to pay homage to her by watching her on YouTube and writing in notebooks.”

A wise woman once said to me, “This is how we live: no fucks to give.” And she wasn’t talking about getting laid.

After a more-than-slightly-skewed trailer and over a year of Internet buzz, Darren Aronofsky’s latest film, Black Swan, garnered what critics called “a certain lesbian allure” due to what may or may not be a girl-on-girl love scene between co-stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. And although this drove us to the theaters like moths to a flame (a lesbian, lesbian flame), moviegoers who actually witnessed Black Swan found that Aronofsky’s film is about much more. Exploring issues such as body image, pressure, and (yes) sexuality, Black Swan brings to light the societal pressures that create insanity and eventually causes audiences to wonder: is it insanity at all?

From one in-between half-adult trying to figure out “the real world” to another, here are ten steps to coping with being a college dropout.

Do you have a girlfriend? That’s fine. I also have a girlfriend. But I think you’re cute, and you think I’m cute, and let’s not waste all this cuteness and attraction just because we both have girlfriends. I’m sorry, did that come off a little harsh? It wasn’t supposed to. It’s just what a conversation might sound like in a world where monogamy wasn’t the norm. Contrary to popular belief, monogamy and fidelity are not one in the same. Take it from two lesbians – real lesbians – who have both been in serious relationships, both open and exclusive, and are still trying to figure out what exactly that means.

She’s not butch, no. She’s not even dykey. But damn that girl looks good in a tie and skinny jeans. Who is she, and how do you know that she’s not just a cute hipster straight girl? Luckily for you, Dr. KC Danger just received her degree in lesbian hipsterology, and she’s here to give you a lesson in herstory, hipstory, and why the lesbian hipster is more than just a cultural one-night-stand.

In Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” our little Alice is all grown up — into a feminist heroine. And it’s about time.

In a special guest edition of the College Lesbianage, Katrina will offer advice on how to make it through winter break with the family. Except that she doesn’t really have a pantsless leg to stand on, is writing from an undisclosed location, and has no idea what she’s talking about.

Research shows that lesbians make better parents, and “pro-family” groups get upset when research shows that lesbians make better parents. Also, trouble for the Houston mayoral candidate, gay gene testing forbidden and new strategies for Prop 8.

Hey anyone want a little girl-on-girl culture … in your pants? Well you’re not gonna get any if you don’t have your pants on. That’s one of many tips KC Danger would like to share with you — how to hit on chicks and get girls to go on dates with you or maybe one day have dinner, eat pizza, meet your mom, and have bang bang bang.

Autostraddle chats with Tegan of Tegan & Sara about writing Sainthood, making eggs, throwing bras, touring Australia, playing so many standing room venues, and a little something we call “The Tegan and Sara Experience.”

Our final thoughts on the National Equality March: Katrina reports and recaps the entire day, including her interview with Cynthia Nixon. Riese presents Autostraddle’s NEM VIDEO, with appearances by Haviland, Dan Choi and Kristin Chenoweth.

On one of the last straggling days of summery skies and subsequent sunburns, Equality Across America lured queer freedom fighters, the out & proud, the ambitious allies and the hungover & downtrodden to Washington, D.C. for The National Equality March for GLBTQ rights.

There are few songs that will cause me to drunkenly yell “THIS IS MAH JAM” in the middle of a crowded place. Actually, that’s untrue; many songs will make me do that. But “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon was high up on my list all summer. And you know how them straight girls areRead the Rest…

Churches love/hate us, Mormons have signs for us, Jersey wants you to have a chance to vote against us, and Dan Choi is on NPR’s THE MOTH!

On October 11th the gays will gather in Washington to demand “equal protection in all matters governed by civil law in all 50 states.” But not everyone thinks the march is such a good idea. We look at that marches we’ve done before, the one coming up, and offer our endorsement.
