Stories are the things that make us human, and real gay people still need to see fictional gay people finding happy endings to know happy endings are possible for them too.
This is a brutal look into who Ryan Murphy deems worthy of a personality and who exists only to aid or bully a white gay before getting their throat slit.
Élite’s 4th season devotes half its romantic storylines to the gays: and this time, that means lesbian content too!
“Gone is Ayesha’s confidence. Gone is her swagger. All that’s left is a girl with a crush.”
September Mornings is a beautifully shot and tenderly written show. But it’s Liniker who elevates the series to greatness.
While Feel Good season two is certainly not lacking in laugh-out-loud moments or Mae Martin’s endless charm, it’s also a very heavy experience.
The third season Master of None eschews any clean, simple picture. When a happy love story about Black lesbians in love would have been easier, instead it holds up a mirror of what we don’t like to see.
