In which we talk about the future with Bklyn Boihood, “a collective that provides visibility and promotes the empowerment of masculine of center bois, lesbians, queers, trans-identified studs, doms, butches and AGs of color.”

We’re getting fancy this year with a kick-ass behind-the-scenes video, some behind-the-scenes photos and some preview shots of January and February’s girls.

I liked the show

In which five of us talk about our favorite poet ever. “Those of us who think we know / the same secrets / are silent together most of the time.”

This shit don’t pay for itself.

This episode is the reason you’re watching Skins US

Has anyone else ever loved you enough to make you TWO DIFFERENT vegan macaroni and cheese dishes? Don’t ever say we aren’t good to you. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY QUEERMOS, we made some things for you!

Fashion is an epic shitshow of misogyny, female oppression, consumerism, body image distortion, racism, exclusionary and corrupt politics, and, oh, I don’t know, maybe even the root of all evil. And yet I still identify vehemently as both feminist and queer. And I love fashion. How is this possible?

It’s the last episode of Lip Service. Who will fingerbang? Who will win the immunity idol? Who will wear a cute rugby shirt and fuck on the kitchen counter? Who will walk sadly through the streets of Glasgow in the misty darkness? Who will drink before sunset? All those answers and more, inside.

BBC3’s Lip Service had an episode last week. We watched it and NOW only nearly a week later, can tell you what we saw. It involves lesbian sex both upside down and right-side up, and some smoldering glances from Frankie/Shane and a cop doing a girl on a desk. Also; feelings.

This excerpt announces new efforts from strange people to repeal Prop 8 for everyone except like 4 people, make homosexuality illegal in Montana, and vote in favor of DADT.

Our “Autostraddle This” t-shirts are available! (Almost.) So we’re preparing for their arrival with this DIY advice: turn your ill-fitting / beaten up t-shirts into pants, tote bags, patches or restyled, cuter shirts! Little or no sewing skills required.

The Real L Word could’ve been a much better show. Here’s why it failed, and why there might be hope for The Little Chicken That Couldn’t.

“If we strip lesbian feminism down to its core – to its advocacy of women-oriented female spaces, women-identified women, and an appreciation of the inequalities and violences that still permeate the heterosexual institution – we might find a lot of things worth keeping around.”

The Real L Word’s Stamie Karakasidis talks to Autostraddle about adjusting to reality fame with Tracy Ryerson, coming out in a Greek family, The Kids Are All Right, the glowing vag poster and the cast’s real opinion of TRLW.

It’s Take Your Family to the Episode Day! I mean, it’s an episode about real lesbians. Or something. A recap of something that happened. I wish Slim Daddy had been in it though.

We talk to Margaret Cho about tattoos, her romantic relationships with gay men, celebrities who come out later in their careers, her pick for “the next Gaga,” Adam Lambert, Ani DiFranco, Sex & the City and more.

Autostraddle has a serious soft spot for documentaries, and we want to give you the same. Here’s the official Autostraddle list of the documentary films everyone should see before they die.

Swimsuit makers don’t care about gay people. Luckily, we do! And so do a lot of other people, actually — guest bloggers on this swimsuit spectacular include Queer Fat Femme, Fit For a Femme and Brandy Howard from “In Your Box Office”.

New information in the Cheyenne Williams case (maybe), and shocking violence in Edmonton. Gay and bisexual politicians abound, and the petition on Ref. 71 is finally going to court. Also, a defense of the Boy Scouts, and an investigation of the gay dollar.
