Star knows that some women have to make impossible choices, that they hustle to survive. I don’t remember the last time I saw a show on network television that embraced this brand of dark, unrelenting Girl Power.
“I am struck that in its second season Queen Sugar has broken open the myth, often accepted as truth, that black women must endure all of their community’s burdens.”
Scarlet isn’t interested in acquitting itself to any man. And as the magazine repeatedly rejects the reductive assumption that sex and feminism and fashion and politics can’t coexist, so does the show itself.
“It is, and I say this without any hyperbole or doubt, the closest I have EVER come on television to seeing a love that looks mine and looks like how I express it. Ever. Ever. EVER.”
Girls smooching on each other and widowing their own damn selves from their abusive husbands.
Daya’s STILL pregnant. We shouldn’t ever douche with Lysol or let the bed bugs out of our chia poons. Also, sex stuff happened. Bring enough snacks for the group and get in here!
Also, Younger ended a fantastic first season and USA released the first 15 minutes of Complications.
It’s going to be a big summer, so we’ve made you a calendar to use as a queer lady TV-viewing guide.
16 shows, 26 confirmed queer characters. Plus, a downloadble PDF calendar with premiere dates!
Jane the Virgin, Arrow, and Grey’s Anatomy close out the TV season and ready us for the return of Orange Is the New Black.
Supernatural kills Charlie, Gotham tropes Barbara, Arrow marries Nyssa off to a man. But on the upside, Samira Wiley crushed it on Law & Order: SVU and Raven was amazing on Black-ish.
Luisa returns to Jane the Virgin with a new girlfriend, Root gets closer to finding Shaw on Person of Interest, Nyssa gets engaged (and not in a good way) on Arrow, Maggie takes a pregnant woman home on Younger, and more!
One Big Happy has one more episode, Younger is still adorably hokey, Bo accidentally beds her stepmom on Lost Girl, Sam and Laura see a sexual healer on Newlyweds: The First Year, and The Bold and the Beautiful is still borking it all up.
“I laughed a LOT, and it didn’t make me feel weird or mean-spirited afterwards.”
“I admit I was skeptical of the plot and was afraid it was going to rely on tired tropes but it turns out it was actually a cute show with a lot of heart. It even has queer women in it!”
