My Top 10 Television Characters: Carmen, Who Never Forgets the Women Who Deserved Better

Is it a coincidence that this list of “women I loved who deserved better” is comprised of women of color — and almost exclusively queer women of color? Given the intertwined histories of sexism, racism, and homophobia in this country, I think not.

With Javicia Leslie’s Batwoman, My Favorite Character Is Finally Being Played by Someone Who Looks Like Me

“Like many people of color and queer people, I’ve found ways to relate to a character that is nothing like me. As a poor, fat, Black queer woman I had seemingly nothing in common with a rich orphaned straight white man.”

Queer British Teen Dramedy “In My Skin” Hits Hard on Class and Mental Illness, Misses on Race
