I’m delighted to report that there is not one, but two different storylines that involve LGBTQ+ characters in the TV adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s best-selling book.

Allison Janney, Sarah Paulson, Holland Taylor, Tig Notaro, Stephanie Allynne, Carla Gallo, Amanda Kloots, Sherri Saum and Lee Rose were singing Lady Gaga and Indigo Girls and Lizzo on a lesbian party bus this weekend.

“Ain’t nobody trying to slow down! Life is fun. Keep doing it.”

“My wish was for Max’s present to reflect more of a life like mine. I don’t hang out with mostly cis people, I don’t hang out with mostly white people. Diverse is such a weird word but my community is mixed and diverse in all sorts of ways. That’s my queer community.”

In the face of dehumanizing rhetoric and violence that turns our community members into statistics, it is our responsibility to care for one another and change the conditions that impact trans people’s quality of life right now.

This week, instead of a regular recap, I thought I’d provide a ranking of the Coterie Party karaoke performances with the not-so-subtle subtext behind their song choices.

You all are just so cool!

There’s a lot of LGBTQ+ material to celebrate in this year’s Oscars, including Kristen Stewart and Ariana DeBose making queer history with their nominations for “Spencer” and “West Side Story.”

Many of my colleagues and I have left church music leadership entirely.

Just look at all these queer celebrities announcing their love, getting engaged, getting married, having babies and kissing at the Olympics!

Autostraddle Slack took a little trip down memory lane, so enjoy a selection of vintage images! Hark! A Young Lesbian Jodie Foster Approaches! On a Skateboard No Less!

Callie and Mariana agree to leave their wacky sister stories at home and work together to try to crack a case at their law firm.

It’s been a busy few weeks with heartrending news developments centered around the violence of residential schools in Canada against Indigenous people, many major decisions from the US Supreme Court, ongoing crises in Texas, and the continuing spread of COVID-19 and deadly variants around the world.

That’s right, we’ve got a BONUS EPISODE for you today and are gonna be doing a LIVE episode tomorrow! We are soothing the pain of departure, like how Jenny fell into a pool.
