Video: Tegan and Sara Interview 'Heartthrob' Kate Moennig

on February 6, 2013

Anyone who's been reading Tegan and Sara's Heartthrob press like it's their job would've noticed this little announcement that they'd be releasing a video interview with "arguably the most famous, hip, lesbian of our generation". That day has come, and it's the heartthrob you were hoping it would be.

I don't think I need to explain why this is good.

The Heartthrob video interview series, which is directed by Clea DuVall, can be seen here.

Tegan and Sara tour dates!
In other really excellent news, Tegan and Sara have just announced a North American summer tour with FUN and you probably wanna go. Pre-sale tickets are available from venues starting today, read this article for all the dates and details. An Australian tour has also been announced. See you at the Sydney Opera House.

    And then I looked down at myself and realized I was wearing almost the same exact thing right down to the docs. I even had my jeans rolled the same way…

This was super charming, and I’m not of the queer population to throw panties and bras at any of these women.

Yeah,way too short.Still cute though.Although,I’d say it’s pretty obvious the heartthrob in this video is TRQ.

There seems to be a lot of fan girling over this video on tumblr.I especially liked the “OMG,this is the Holy Trinity!”,and “I want to have sex with all 3 of them”, with of course an abundance of ” This is my dream !” comments.Baby dykes seem to really like this video.

So I clicked on the link to other interviews.

Have you seen the Gorburger one? That is the strangest, most awesome thing I’ve seen in a while. I don’t entirely know what I think about it though.

I don’t understand why this video suddenly isn’t working for me on any site it’s on! I saw it up at work before but couldn’t watch it and now there’s just a blank space where the video should be… no matter where I look. HALP

  The same thing is happening for me on Autostraddle and Out.com. Did intense lesbian traffic crash the thing?

This is way too short. I watched it twice in a row and it was still too short. But still – charming and lovely.

So sad that this video goes for a little under two minutes, as opposed to just under two hours…
But still, so much happiness! ^_^

The Warner Brothers marketing machine wouldn’t let them mention The L Word by name?

SHE DIDN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION.
I bet she secretly is obsessed with Tegan and would be elated if she hung a poster up of her.
