I Love “Black Panther” with All My Heart, and I Deserve to See My Queer Self in It Too
The very premise of Wakanda is based on imagining new black realities. Creating new legends, tales of heroics that aren’t predicated on whiteness. Stories of community and strength. Liberation and stardust.
I Watched Lesbian Classic “The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love” and Confirmed That Life Is Suffering
Here’s what I would be willing to do instead of watch this movie: Drink as many La Croixs as it would take to fill a bathtub in one sitting. Make a snowman with my bare hands out of the snow that’s been icing over for weeks. Walk across an oiled kitchen floor carrying a latte that I’m bringing to a person I don’t want to disappoint or embarrass myself in front of and also the kitchen is super long. Listen to someone try out every ringtone on their phone on a public bus.
“Bad Reputation” Review: Joan Jett’s Sexuality is Everywhere in Her New Documentary
Bad Reputation reminds us that people with a knack for keeping their cool during trying times aren’t apathetic. Sometimes, they’re exactly what we — and our headphones — need.
“Lizzie” Review: Kristen Stewart and Chloë Sevigny Have Hot Barn Sex, Axe-Murder a Man Together

“Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart: Lorraine Hansberry” Is the Documentary We All Need and Deserve in 2018

“Proud Mary” Review: Taraji P. Henson Is a Hot-as-Hell Ass-Kicker in a Lukewarm Film
I thought Proud Mary was going to be Taraji P. Henson’s Atomic Blonde moment, but the movie never lets her reach that action star potential, throttling her with a weakass story that she nonetheless sells the hell out of because she’s Taraji P. Henson.
Amilyn Holdo and Leia Organa Were Dating in “The Last Jedi” and You Can’t Convince Me Otherwise
I love my gay space moms!
“Princess Cyd” Is the Most Hopeful Queer Film of 2017
“Princess Cyd isn’t interested in the well-worn plot of queer sexual awakening, the torture of figuring out who you are and the fraught path you have to follow to let other people in on your secret. In fact, Princess Cyd isn’t really interested in plot (or secrets) at all. It’s a character study of two women who clumsily and gently brush up against each other and find new happiness because of it.”
Disney Pixar’s “Coco” Showed Me My Mexican Self On Screen Like Never Before
Everyone in the film is Mexican. Everything in the film is Mexican. Everyone and everything is me.
I Watched Lesbianish Classic “Jennifer’s Body” and Now I Love Cinema!!!
This film explores some of my favorite themes all in one glossy, campy, self-aware package: misandry, women being extremely gay together, principled revenge, and the triumph of aught culture.

“Professor Marston and the Wonder Women” Gives Us Comics History, Kink and a Queer Poly Marriage
Writer/director/longtime lesbian favorite Angela Robinson has done a really subversive thing with the most talked-about period film of the fall: She’s brought an ardent screenplay, a soaring score, and unapologetically gauzy sunlight to bear on the story of the man, his wife, and their lover who created the most iconic female superhero of all time in the hopes that she would prepare the world for matriarchal rule — and a healthy side of bondage.
CHAVELA Documentary Highlights the Pain and Poetry of the Seminal Mexican Lesbian Singer’s Life
Though her life was characterized by solitude and her love for it and the freedom it gave her, CHAVELA is a story of a remarkable person told by the people who loved and admired her most.
“Battle of the Sexes” Is a Triumph for Sports Movies and Lesbians
“Billie Jean King — a gay icon, a feminist idol, one of the greatest athletes in history, an unshakable pillar of indomitable humanity here in 2017 — becomes even more powerful in Battle of the Sexes, but the film also offers audiences the gift of undoing her invincibility in our imaginations by allowing her to fall in love.”
I Watched Lesbian Classic “Bloomington” and Hoooo Boy This Is a Lot
Everyone who made this movie needs to go to bed.
“Whitney: Can I Be Me”: An Intimate, Heartbreaking Portrait of Houston’s Life and Long-Rumored Bisexuality
