A lesbian mom loses her lawsuit against a sperm bank, a new study finds a lot of Catholics are ok with gay parents, a Mexican trans woman receives asylum and more news stories.

Rhea Butcher and Cameron Esposito’s new show is truly delightful.

Hillary Clinton is not President of the United States.

“This week has involved a lot of needing to let go of all the things I can’t have total control over and I’m not good at that and I don’t like it but also maybe that’s okay.”

“Queer histories matter not only for our own sense of identity and pride, but because they impact our legal realities, too.”

Sappho protect us.

This isn’t a May-December lesbian romance. Janney and Page revive and expand upon the chemistry they shared as step-mother and daughter in Juno. But it is a movie about women — about women who have been abandoned, who find each other, who hurt each other deeply.

Financial independence from the patriarchy was a primary goal of lesbian feminism, because true liberation required not relying on men for anything, including money. It’s a tricky thing to pull off now and was even harder back then. But, somehow, Olivia did it.

Recapping the feminist victories of the week, a badass Black queer woman is running for the Florida legislature, North Carolina’s getting called out, the trans ban in the military is officially ancient history, and more good gay news! Also, some fan art of me because I think you’re gonna like it a lot.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Bataillon called the ban an “unabashedly gender-specific infringement of the equal rights of its citizens.”

Florida’s recent gay marriage ruling is not definitive but it raises the question of when this issue will reach its way up the the Supreme Court and also makes me consider how strange it is to be in this inbetween time where it is legal in some places and not in others.

“Trendy bisexual girls hugging at camera”

So you’re gay and you’re getting married and, oh yeah, you’ve never come out to your grandmother. Do you invite her? How?

Reforms for Reform Judaism open doors for trans people, Salt Lake City elects some gay people, an introduction to India’s first trans woman cop, a peek at Janet Mock’s fabulous wedding, the winner of a trans beauty pageant, good gay news from around the world, and so so so so much more!

What would you say to your younger self? Come meet 15-year-old KaeLyn and tell 32-year-old KaeLyn what’s up in your life now and then.

“Fuck flowers. Fuck everything. We’re ordering about a hundred LED twinkling lights and I’m gonna stick gold washi tape on ’em and sprinkle them everywhere and call it a night.”

WHY ARE YOU BEING SO MEAN TO ME?!?!?!!?!

A history of a lesbian-only “intentional community” in Arkansas, students at a Missouri high school protested a trans teen for using the girls’ bathrooms, Mansur Ball-Bey’s autopsy contradicts police testimony and more news.

A 28 year-old closeted lesbian and married mother of three, and a token gay friend who’s feeling quite encroached upon. Calling it like I see it!

It’s no surprise here but the GOP’s policy blueprint isn’t friendly toward LGBT people and women, in fact their platform is incredibly hostile and even more extreme and dangerous than ever before.
