In The Owl House, Luz and Amity Capture the Singular Queer Experience of a Surprise First Crush

Luz and Amity don’t just represent a possibility, or offer recognition. In them, I see a reflection of exactly who I used to be.

The Great Pottery Throw Down Is Better Than Bake Off, There I Said It

What finally swung it for me was at the end of a recent episode when, out of nowhere, Dolly Parton appeared.

TV Reviews

“The Lady and the Dale” Is a Fascinating Portrait of Trans Con Artist Elizabeth Carmichael

It’s as entertaining as any heist movie, as addictive as the best true crime, and authentic in a way few pieces of mainstream trans media have been before.

“Euphoria” Finally Gives Jules Agency In A Special Episode Co-Written By Hunter Schafer

All I’ve wanted since Euphoria began was for Sam Levinson to write with people who actually have the characters’ perspectives — this episode shows why.

The Amazing Race: One Million Miles, 32 Seasons, 653 Contestants, 373 Episodes, 5 Out Lesbians

Emily and Sue press their foreheads together in season two of Dickinson.
TV Reviews

“Dickinson” Season Two: Same Vibes, Same Emily and Sue (Forevermore!)

In the first three episodes of the new season, Emily is still a chaotic, emotional, silly, passionate poet who is deeply in love with her sister-in-law and not afraid to show it.

“Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina”: The Chaos Ends But Not Without, Well, Chaos

Caught up in the inconsistencies in its own mythologies, the Netflix fantasy-thriller-teen drama-musical struggles to come to a compelling or coherent close.

How Is Kat Not a Lesbian in This New Cat Cafe Show?

Raja, a nonbinary performer from RuPaul's Drag Race kisses Carmen Carrera, a trans drag queen, on the shoulder against a purple background
TV Reviews

“RuPaul’s Drag Race” Is Queer Women Culture

There’s nothing inherently more lesbian about watching two famous cishet Rachels playact queerness than watching a nonbinary drag queen kiss the shoulder of a trans woman drag queen.

Amazon’s “The Wilds” Brings Lesbians to a Deserted Island

Valeria, Cristina, and Paca sit on a couch together.
TV Reviews

HBO Max’s “Veneno” is the Television Masterpiece Trans Icon Cristina La Veneno Deserves

For me, what makes the show so unique are the moments Valeria spends with Cristina and Paca and all the other trans women around them. It’s watching this cross-generational support among trans women that’s so important for us but so rarely portrayed on screen.
