“Hustlers” Stole My Heart While Robbing Rich White Men

“Jennifer Lopez’s entrance in Hustlers is better than any of us could have dreamed. But days later, the scene that won’t stop playing in my head happens almost directly afterwards, on the rooftop of the club where Ramona and Destiny work.”

Top 10 Gayest Fashion Moments From 1999’s Runaway Bride, Ranked by Importance

“It’s 1999. You’re Julia Roberts. Your hair is indisputably glorious. You should absolutely put on a cowboy hat. What will you wear with it? No, incorrect. It’s a very busy top from the Gilmore Girls Strong Print collection, pegged jeans and sensible shoes.”

“Sister Aimee” Is a Subtly Queer Ode to Storytelling

There’s no evidence that Aimee Semple McPherson was queer. But there’s no evidence that a lot of historical figures did a lot of the things they do on screen.

Thirsty Classics: “Mädchen in Uniform” is the Original Thirsty Classic

Remembering that queer people have always been here, and have always been hot, is a necessity if we want our present and future to be truly queer.

Thirsty Classics: “Persona” Is Best Watched as a Closeted Trans Teen

This is not a lesbian film. It is merely a film starring two women bursting with sexuality. And when I was 14 it was my favorite film of all time.

“Olivia” Is One of the Best Lesbian Films of All Time and Now You Can Finally See It

This is a movie about queer women for queer women. It’s about the way we hurt and the way we hurt each other.

“Better Than Chocolate” Turns 20, Remains the Only Movie Where a Trans Woman Has a Lesbian Friend Group

“My favorite moment in the movie happens during the climax when one of the skinheads punches Judy. She punches him back. He calls her a dyke. And she says thank you.”

Thirsty Classics: “Vampyros Lesbos” Invites Us Into the Male Gaze

Vampyros Lesbos is not my fantasy. But it is a fantasy. And, while this fills me some guilt, I do, in fact, enjoy it.

Outfest 2019: “Good Kisser” Is a Threesome Farce That’s Afraid to Be Fun

While the larger conflicts may fall flat, the dramatic minutia when the threesome is going well is really enjoyable to watch.

Thirsty Classics: “Rebecca” Is Hot Even in Death

It’s rarely suggested that Rebecca was in love with Danvers too. But she was. That’s what I’m suggesting.

Outfest 2019: “The Daughters of Fire” Isn’t Afraid of Queer Sex or Female Desire

Just because you leave the movie feeling emotionally fulfilled and intellectually challenged, doesn’t mean it’s any less erotic.

Outfest 2019: “Second Star on the Right” is a Bisexual Mess in All the Best Ways

The film goes beyond mere representational milestones. It’s beautiful, it’s laugh-out-loud hilarious, it has two whole musical numbers, three whole Britney Spears references, and is just bursting with queer creativity!

Outfest 2019: “Jules of Light and Dark” Gets Lost in Its Own Complexity

Outfest 2019: “Bit” Is a Trans Teen Vampire Romp About Lesbian Separatism

Anyone who watches Supergirl knows just how talented Nicole Maines is and she carries this movie with ease. She’s so casually present on screen and she absolutely kills a one-liner.

Thirsty Classics: “Je Tu Il Elle” Shows That Sad Gays Are Horny Too

I have absolutely no idea if Chantal Akerman would be delighted or horrified that I’ve written about her 1974 film in a way that, if successful, will lead you to 1) seek out the mental healthcare that you need, and 2) masturbate.

Outfest 2019: Michelle Hendley is a F*cking Star in “The More Things Change”

Instead of counting down the days to see if we get three lines on The L Word reboot, we should be counting down the days until Simone gets to turn this short into a full-season show.

Thirsty Classics: “Manji” Is the Most

My favorite type of queer cinema classic is the kind that constantly begs the question: Is this real? Is this a real movie? Is this a real movie made in (insert year)?

Thirsty Classics: “The Uninvited” Has Subtext! Lesbian Subtext!

“For those keeping score, this movie with no lesbians now has four lesbians. Two living, two dead. And now enters the fifth non-lesbian lesbian, the dykiest of the them all: Miss Holloway.”

Thirsty Classics: “The Children’s Hour” Is All About Shirley MacLaine’s Hair

“Shirley daydreams about their first meeting. “I remember thinking, What a pretty girl.” Later, Audrey kisses her cheek and Mary’s eyes widen. Mine do too.”
