JoJo Siwa Didn’t Win DWTS, But She Remains the Housedyke’s Favorite

I do wonder if it was all a bit too gay too soon for JoJo to win. It’s pretty incredible that despite knowing how many people would be up in arms about a same-sex pairing, no-one on the show ever shied away from foregrounding it at every given opportunity, which is a win in itself.

I’ve Been Thinking About The Way Tessa Thompson Looks at Ruth Negga in “Passing” A Lot

Irene gazes upon the profile of Clare’s face. Feeling heat, Clare looks up. Irene sharply inhales, blushes, and looks away. And every single time, I finally understood why white lesbians love Carol so much.

If There Was Better Queer Latine Storytelling this Year Than “Gentefied,” I Don’t Know Her

In its second season, Gentefied soars. It’s nearly unfathomable how good it is now — how it matured without losing its heart, how it never takes an easy out or answer.
