It’s a good Monday morning to remember love is not a lie! And here’s your Pop Culture Fix!
+ Robin Roberts and her longtime partner Amber Laign got married this weekend in their backyard and it was just so beautiful, y’all! Their dog, Lil Man Lukas, even wore a tux. There’s loads of pics and video’s on Robin’s IG and also this video from ABC, where you can see Lukas wandering around in his bow tie during the ceremony begging for treats. Congratulations, you two love gorgeous queer babes! I hope your next decades are even more happy than the first few!
+ Everything Now, starring the amazing Sophie Wilde, premieres October 5.
+ AHS: Delicate has a premiere date and IndieWire has some exclusive photos. (Yes, Kim Kardashian did cross the picket line to finish filming.)
+ Thor: Love and Thunder show the romance we wanted but didn’t get for Valkyrie.
+ Charlotte Higgins on The Archers: the first lesbian kiss in Ambridge.
+ Top Boy season five sees Jasmine Jobson return as fan-favourite lesbian character Jaq.
+ This lesbian conductor drama is worlds away from Tár.
+ Why everyone’s debating the (queer??) meaning of Olivia Rodrigo’s news song, Lacy.
+ Lil Nas X helped his brother come out as bisexual.
Ooo, Backspot sounds good.
The Archers Pip/Stella storyline is what’s keeping me going while I’m waiting for Bottoms to be released in the UK!
It is possible I need to get out more…
Turns out Drew Barrymore is a scab, that’s unfortunate.
I just love watching Robin and Amber’s love story so much! They are such a lovely couple.
Also, even though Good Morning America often feels like pro-America propaganda (and I can’t quit watching it), their showcasing this and their continued discussions about climate change are really heartening – and relatively brave given their target audience.
I truly teared up! I can’t believe we get to see this kind of stuff on the most mainstream of mainstream TV shows now :’)
right?! I just watched it and also teared up. My grandparents watched GMA. Amazing that this was broadcast on GMA.
Sin is never right or beautiful.
Indeed :) the only sin I see here, though, is the one where you take the Lord’s name in vain to defend an outdated homophobic belief that was never in the Bible in the first place. Have a good day!
