Started from the Bottom: A Lifelong Bottom’s Adventures in Topping

Much like how everyone told us “OMG you’re both Geminis? This will never work,” we were also told “OMG you’re both bottoms? This will never work.” Joke’s on everyone else; the healthiest relationship and the best sex of my life has been with another bottom.

Black American Gothic: A Southern Herstory of Black Magic Women

For many black Americans, the South holds a bittersweet place in our heart; as much home as sorrow, as much ghostly as ancestral.

Cyrus Grace Dunham’s “A Year Without a Name” Is an Affecting, Imperfect Exploration of Identity

Often, we talk about novels that should have been short stories. Dunham’s book of the same title “A Year Without a Name” feels like a memoir that should have been a personal essay.

“Batwoman” Keeps Getting Gayer and Queering Superhero Tropes

I’ve watched Clark Kent drag Lois Lane through flaky, bad boyfriend hell for at least 13 full seasons of TV and five full-length feature films. These two women talk out their feelings, explain their needs and desires, and handle the dissonance like adults in 42 minutes. (GAAAAAAY.)
