Hi! It’s me, Valerie! Taking over for Heather for just a little while to deliver your bi-weekly Pop Culture Fix.
+ My first gift to you is Cate Blanchett saying “I’m a lesbian” much to the surprise of Sarah Paulson. (Sure, she was just reading a comment and not actually coming out, but listening to it added a year to my life.)
+ I hope you have been enjoying the newest Twitter trend, which is LGBTQ+ actresses pitching themselves as the new Batwoman. I sure have.
Soo… since #rubyrose is no longer playing #Batwoman on #BatwomanCW I think they should cast someone with fighting skills (like krav maga) who has already played a bad ass on screen the last 5 years and loves working crazy hours! Just saying @TheCW I’m right here waiting🙋🏻♀️

Some are even coming out publicly for the first time* in order to be considered for the role. What a world!
I’m bisexual

(*I can’t be 100% sure this was the first time Camryn Grimes said this, it’s just the first I’ve heard of it.)
+ Netflix’s Elite was renewed for a fourth season.
+ Pixar released a short about a gay man and put it right on Disney+ where children can see it. (I tease but it’s actually very sweet and cute.)
+ Season 2 of Homecoming is queerer than Season 1, on screen and behind the camera.
Hi there Valerie (waves!)
Hi hi hi!!
Carmen, why don’t you ask her to come on over, Valerie
Yay for season 4 of Elite!!!
Oh my, Cate Blanchett. All the lesbian angels just got their wings.
Cate Blanchett has really mastered queerbaiting.
That Cate/Sarah instagram live was truly the most gorgeous mess. I love their chaos.
Pixar link goes to the Elite article :)
Thanks for the heads up, @min. Updated with the new link.
The Cate Blanchett video is what I needed today.
I can’t see Camryn doing a butch Kate Kane, but she would make for an amazing “classical” Kate Kane imo.
Wallis Day is still my favorite though with Katy O’Brian being a not-so-distant second.
