Bisexual Ice Dancer Karina Manta on Leaving Competitive Skating and Joining the Circus

Seeing two queer skaters having fun and being themselves, while incorporating dance elements that are so tied to queer history in ice dance, the most heteronormative of the figure skating disciplines, is a thrill. So I asked Karina Manta how she does it.

Classic TV From the 2000s That You Can Stream to Survive Trump This Year

Revisiting the Sex-Ed Revolution: On Documenting Sex Ed in Queer Bodies

What might we be able to do if we more carefully record, preserve, and distribute our accumulated queer sex-ed, and not just pass knowledge through the intimate, sometimes deeply guarded connections formed through sexual and romantic relationships? More than 30 years later, Party Safe and Latex and Lace contain clues to becoming allies to our own queer bodies.

“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.
