No Filter: Listen, I Need This Picture of Samira Wiley and You Probably Do Too

Welcome back to No Filter, a thing I do. This week in queer celebrity gossip, Demi Lovato admitted to being into multiple genders and also played with these puppies while answering questions (it’s as adorable as it sounds). Additionally, Paris Jackson went to a lesbian wedding:

And here is an additional rabbithole I am more than willing to go down with you (It’s a thread):

Anyway, back to Instagram.

This just makes sense.



Just for consistency’s sake, Kristin Russo is also channeling her inner Buffy character with excellent results. Also, Tegan and Sara like her Tegan and Sara bag.


It isn’t fair that this is what Jasika Nicole looks like while she’s getting ready. Also, I’m pretty sure this is Rosie’s first time in No Filter and I am praying it won’t be the last.

Lately, I come back to this picture and look at it while practicing my breathing before I click on any news headlines ever. I’ve found it enormously helpful.



LOOK AT ALL THESE ACTUAL BEAMS OF LIGHT ALL CASUALLY HANGING OUT TOGETHER.


Some kind of fashion leopard would like for you to listen to the new St. Vincent album.

We are now entering a serious portion of No Filter, in which famous queers we love a lot are using Instagram to share actual messages. The world is just like this now, I don’t know what to tell you; maybe you needed to read this today.


Laura Jane Grace played for a bunch of kids at this rad event thrown by the Gender Is Over folks.

  1. I would appear Jaye Hunt and I are on a similar wave length. I’ve long suspected Tessa isn’t straight and Janelle has always been vague about her sexuality. That said, I don’t think either one of them is ever going to make any official statement about their sexual orientation or talk publicly about their relationships. They just don’t seem like that kind of celebrity that likes to share their private lives.

  2. I don’t know if you follow her or not, but Cat Cora and her fiancé are always posting cute, lovey dovey pictures together. They would be perfect candidates for Vapid Fluff (if you are taking nominations, that is :))

  3. That Samira Wiley pic is everything I didn’t know I needed today ?

    Thank you, Stef, for the great public service you do for us all

  4. I just realized that Gaby Dunn’s Insta handle looks on first glance like it says “gaybroad” and maybe that was intentional

  5. I am curious to know what songs Laura is singing to kids. Two Coffins(which is about her daughter), songs about her transness, or is she singing kids song. There is a weird precedent of punk & riot grrrl musicians singing a song about a serious topic on a kids shows(saw a video of Sleater Kinney singing Youth Decay from a Chicago area children’s show) or at a children’s event.

    Is that Rosario Dawson next to Stephanie?
