“I view polyamory as a structure that’s helpful in me decolonizing my love life and the way I view relationships. Having complete ownership of everything within the borders of my skin, and doing what I desire with it and with whom, is an incredible “fuck you” to the systems of oppression I seek to dismantle (and a fun one!).”

I’m excited about my future. I’m a little nervous also, but I’m more excited than nervous, because just as the seasons change, our president will as well.

141 arrests were made at Standing Rock on Thursday, police in Washington fatally shot a pregnant Native woman during a welfare check, a new lawsuit filed in Utah challenges the state’s “no promo homo” law, two proposed anti-abortion laws in Alabama were blocked by a judge and more news.

Just a couple of Conniving Psychotic Bisexuals on Gotham, and a Black lesbian with no agency on Empire. Maggie Sawyer, save us.

Eve and Annalise are the best (and the most heartbreaking), Younger is back and gayer than ever, Arizona returns to Grey’s with a smile, Rosewood is actually doing something with its queer couple this season, two new lesbians on ABC sitcoms, and more queer TV!

“This issue is not about white people and their delicate, settler privileged feelings. This is about the people of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation.

Obama included LGBT people in his remarks opening the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, parents who are good to their trans kids, and Pride!

My favorite season — “Halloween”, a gay witchy music video, the new Blair Witch movie, taking some time to create, and discussing what it means to be New Agey.

She also identifies as “a Mary Ann.”

“It is the weekend Beyoncé releases her “Formation” single and a bad queen has just performed it without breaking a sweat. I am watching the queen and learning that the way not to sweat is to move so little that every move seems like drama. I’ve got the not moving part down, which is how I am here at a club with a roommate whose friends want to meet the Black girl she let live in her house.”

At least the Suicide Squad press tour gave us some good Cara Delevingne interviews. Also, new TV for classic faves Rosie and Jane Lynch and Portia. Hannah Hart is getting that GLAAD love. The internet proves how much Kate McKinnon likes to talk about her cat. The USWNT is lying in wait in Rio. And more!

“I was unstable and grieving and more suited for a patient friendship than the dramas of new love. But I loved her and in thirst, I acted unlovingly by climbing into a lap in which I wasn’t welcome. My behavior is the definition of obscene.”

If your name is Alyssa, Nancy, or Kai… I have news for you. That news is that you are gay.
