In a two panel comic, a young queer tells their friends that they'll meet them at the club after they have dinner with some other friends. The friends say no problem, but ask why does this queer hang out with lesbians in their 30s? It's because they give great life advice. In the second panel, the same young queer is flanked by two lesbians in their 30s, teaching them how to avoid phone calls from their mother.

LGBT Book Reviews

“A Day of Fallen Night” Is the Most Satisfying Queer and Trans Fantasy Book I’ve Ever Read

The prequel to The Priory of the Orange Tree confirms that Samantha Shannon’s Roots of Chaos series is to queer nerds what The Lord of the Rings is to straight nerds.

It’s complicated (or at least, it’s by design) that underneath structures of capitalism, queer independent media is never intended to survive.

Three copies of the cover of The Daughters of Izdihar. A red, orange, and yellow sunset sits above a blue city. The silhouette of a woman in a robe, holding a wand, sits in the middle, between two outlined buildings.
LGBT Book Reviews

“The Daughters of Izdihar” Is Fantastical Queer Feminist Rage

I have seen some angry women in fantasy stories before, but I have never felt the kind of fury pulsating off of them the way I did with queer water-bender Nehal.
