Queer Outfit of the Week: It’s Cold Inside the Party!

Who doesn’t have a friend who insists on throwing parties at their apartment despite the fact that they always keep the heat at 50 degrees and leave the back door open so her cat can get out? With that in mind, I present to you just the warmest coolest outfit for when it’s still cold inside the party.

Strong Female Protagonist Is The Perfect Superhero Comic Even If You Don’t Like Superheroes

“Strong Female Protagonist” is a wonderful superhero comic that places more importance on the humanity of it’s characters than their super-humanity. It tells the story of Alison Green (formerly Mega-Girl) as she tries to negotiate post-superhero life.

Couples Therapy 402: Grand Central Meltdown Station

This week on a show that makes my own therapist worried about me, Ghost is little more than a thin membrane of double standards, Farrah and orders her dessert before her drinks, and Whitney and Sara float blankly in the corner until they talk about hitting each other because they are “passionate”.

Janet Mock Redefines Realness: The Autostraddle Interview

What’s Happening For CA’s Trans Students? Unpacking the Clusterf*ck Of AB 1266

Search the hashtag #AB1266 on Twitter, and you’ll see what I mean by clusterfuck. It’s a mixture of conservatives, LGBT groups, names of California counties, statistics, and conflicting reports of what’s happened, and what’s next.

I’m Going To Homeschool These Damn Babies

I finally feel safe enough to imagine the big queer family I never had. A home where gender is an option, not an obligation, where parents can apologize to each other as well as to their kids and where long, ongoing conversations about race, power and privilege exist.

“Saving Mr. Banks” Erases P.L. Travers’ Queer Identity, Misses Amazing Opportunity for Representation

In my mind, to fail at LGBT inclusion in fiction is to have a failure of imagination, a lazy lack of understanding concerning the world outside of one’s self. To intentionally choose to tell a story about a real LGBT person and then exclude their queer identity is a failure on an entirely different level.
