Station 19’s Pride Episode Played With Our Fear

Even before it aired, I knew that Station 19’s Pride episode going to polarize. It’s not that an episode of television about “violence at fun gay events” can’t be well done. It’s that it’s been done too often before. And betting on queer fear is cruel.

Is Refusing To Share My Location a Red Flag?

A request from a younger girlfriend has a reader wondering if her aversion to location sharing is a generational conflict. Also: how to keep a relationship sexy without sex and how to celebrate newfound queer desire and forgive our younger selves.

Cheating Is Not Abuse

Consensual sex between adults should never be treated as a crime. It might be a horrible betrayal; it’s still not abuse.

New ‘Top Chef’ Season 21 Host Kristen Kish Has Us Hungry AND Thirsty

There’s something about the way she looks into the camera, both smirking and glaring at the same time, that makes me want to watch Top Chef until the end of time … but also turn off the TV immediately because it is TEW MUCH.
