It’s Ellen’s iconic coming out episode from 1997. Except the opposite of that.

It’s you who make this all worth while. Your comments are like shiny diamonds, which everyone knows are even better than dollars. Dollars can only be used to buy boring things like insurance. If they just legalized gay marriage already, we wouldn’t have to worry about insurance, you all could just seduce pretty girls who have secure jobs and benefits with your side-splittingly witty comments.

Emily Dickinson sent her girlfriend, Nellie, her recipe for Black Cake that was so staggering (two pounds of flour, 19 eggs, etc) that it reads like one of her curiously queer poems. It seems impossible, but suggests the potential for a delicious celebration.

Regardless of whether you ultimately see the use of militant force as an admirable tactic, the truth is that any progress the queer community has made is at least in part to all those queers who refused to play by the rules, the queers who behaved badly, the queers who believed that unjust laws must be broken as a method of survival.

It’s not perfect, and last week’s episode on Kat’s identity really missed the mark, but there’s a lot to love about this queer, feminist show.

Kate McKinnon’s new movie trailer, an immersive Compton’s Cafeteria experience, lesbian Eurovision singer Saara Aalto, legal weed and marriage good for all, that John Oliver children’s book to troll Mike Pence on his anti-LGBT BS, and some other cool stuff!

Gay updates on: Riverdale, Once Upon a Time, Life Sentence, 9-1-1, Legends of Tomorrow, The Fosters, and Grey’s Anatomy!

Everything’s bigger in Texas.

Plus Chantal is back for a minute on Queen Sugar, lesbian orgasms abound on Grey’s Anatomy, and Annalise gets the upper hand on her therapist in exactly one session on HTGAWM.

Why are there twice as many lesbian squabbles as lesbian sexy moments in this show? Oh yeah, it’s because this is the way that we liveeeeeeeee. This is the one where Ilene reminds us all that men are disgusting, loathsome creatures by making henry cut his toenails.

While Twitter and the media at large can’t get enough of Trump and Sessions throwing their little fits about how the other one is doing them dirty, remember they could never hate each other as much as they hate us. 

btw we have some bonus Lesbian Kens in this post for you

The Affordable Care Act is safe for now, the Yellow Power Ranger is queer queer queer, Lebanon’s first LGBT sexual health week, some rogue graffiti activists took down a transphobic bus, and more good stuff!

It’s a lesbian movie miracle.

When the world feels dark, we have to find the light where we can and hold onto it. This is a story about a bright, shining spot of goodness: My Granny.

This was a big week, with the second episode of In Your Box Office and interviews with both NOH8 frontman Adam Bouska and Dani Campbell and worldwide gender panic. You said funny things and we want you to know that we were paying attention.
