Glamorous Degradation: On Sex Workers and Authenticity in Cinema

When I watch these movies, I find myself writing fan fictions in my head: What details would I change, to make this piece of art truly for me, and for the community that I love? Maybe it’s simply that the sex workers on film would just be a lot more… regular.

10 Sad (But Non-Lethal) Movies for the Casually Depressed Queer Woman

“2 in the Bush” Is a Funny, Warm, Daring Love Story

Untimely deaths, lesbian bed death, a creepy heterosexual polyamorous couple; you won’t find it here. Instead, the film takes the approach of exploring the many different loves we have in our lives.

Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” Gave Me Permission to Be Sad

The most remarkable thing about Gerwig’s film isn’t that it leaves room for queerness – it’s that it leaves room for sadness.

Kate McKinnon Finally Gets to Play an Actual Lesbian in “Bombshell”

I’m not talking about dyke-y hair and gun-licking as subtext. I’m not talking about just her general way. I’m talking about Kate McKinnon’s character having sex with Margot Robbie’s character and their relationship becoming the most emotionally resonant thing in the entire movie.

Lena Waithe’s “Queen & Slim” Left Me Still Hungry for Black Queer Freedom

“For a work touted as blackness for Black people, Queen & Slim ultimately offers not hope or a way forward, but more images of beautiful Black corpses added to the growing canon of Black death for consumption. And I’m simply not able to keep bearing witness.”

“Frozen 2” Review: Elsa Gets Mommy Issues Instead of a Girlfriend

If Disney wasn’t ready to explicitly represent a fifth of its young audience, they could’ve at least given Elsa a gal pal. I don’t need to see Elsa make out with the mysterious voice calling her to the next chapter of queer life, but lord did it have to be her mother?
