One of my favorite parts of the movie is the reverence that Moana has for her ancestors and her culture, even while she pushes it and challenges it to embrace the future. This is a reality that many POC, especially queer ones have to deal with.
Like a spinning top on a checker board, these are the days of our lives.
The new documentary Growing Up Coy examines what it’s like to grow up as a young trans girl in a country that is constantly creating laws that target you.
When you’re stargazing, remember Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson’s work. Tell their stories over and over. They’ve been silenced for so long; now it’s our turn to keep them alive.
Let this movie warm your heart and jerk your tears as we stumble into 2017.
Hope was always in scarce supply in Star Wars, but it lived in General Leia Organa and it lived in the actress who portrayed her, both powerful women who refused to apologize, both eternal leaders of The Resistance.
I Still Know What You Did in Waterloo
Southwest of Salem tells the story of four Latina lesbians who were found guilty of a crime they didn’t commit and how the legal and criminal justice systems failed them as queer women of color. Watch it tonight on Investigation Discovery at 8 pm EST.
One of the most beloved queer YA books of the last decade is being adapted for the big screen. The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
Me Before You isn’t half-baked schlock that crumbles under the weight of its own unconscionable ignorance.

We have four tickets to give away for the screening of Lovesong and the closing night after party of New York’s LGBT film festival!
I had my doubts – because honestly, consuming media as a disabled person is an exercise in disappointment. So I was cautious when Margarita finally popped up on Netflix. Could it be? Was it really that good?

It’s wonderful to see two queer women dealing with complex and honest relationship problems that are treated with the same nuance and depth as those of the straight couples on screen, but DuVall never quite manages to step out of the shadow of The Big Chill.
It’s too easy to note that small places are slow at addressing issues of gender and sexuality while not exploring why. This is the answer to the why (and it’s one that AWOL addresses exceptionally well): Because there are far bigger fish to fry.

A point by point breakdown comparing plots, outfits, closing credits and everything in between.

I may be extrapolating, but I am pulling my theories from very real, very present stuff. This is basically science, y’all.
Jillian Holtzmann’s queer sex appeal is lethal.
