At long last, the inspiring return of one straight man’s opinions about Ellen Page and Samantha Thomas’ Instagram relationship.

Chris Brown stands up a gay party for being too gay, Ellen DeGeneres talks to Caitlyn Jenner about same-sex marriage, Bangladesh gets its first lesbian cartoon character, new music from Christine & The Queens, queers are all over The Root 100, SO MANY new queer movies to look forward to AND SO MUCH MORE!

Do you ever wonder how Ellen Page likes her eggs cooked? What Laverne Cox got up to last night? Whether or not Sara Quin’s old cat is jealous of her new cat? Do you ever wonder how much merch Autostraddle staffers wear, really?

If you’re in Brooklyn, you could adopt Ellen Page (the dog). Also, Ruby Rose on a slip’n’slide and lots of gratuitous kittens.

I have put together a mix that spans genres but never stops screaming “BBQ, Y’ALL!” Which is key, I think.

“Like did women get yeast infections and UTIs on the Oregon trail and if so wtf did they do about it.”

This is the playlist I used in my writing workshop at camp this year!

The QTPOC Speakeasy is throwing a house party/pajama jam on Mt. Feelings and everyone’s invited! Come for the throwbacks, stay for the dance-off. We even put together a mini-playlist for you, bb.

Furthermore, Miley has launched a charity “devoted to helping homeless youth, LGBT youth, and other vulnerable populations” and played music in her backyard with Laura Jane Grace and Joan Jett!

The future of Lexa on The 100, Going Clear, a new bisexual character of color on a sitcom, K-Stew & Alicia Like Old Marrieds and more!

Glee is ending, The 100’s lead character is bisexual and awesome, Azealia Banks is naked, Clea DuVall is on This Just Out, Ilene Chaiken has a job, Brittani is on BET and all the other arts & entertainment news you need.

I can pretty much guarantee you there are still people in the world who need to hear more about how great you are.

The most important item on this list is #5.

Jasika Nicole and Claire Savage delivered a perfect mix on an actual CD and it was perfect.

Because Serial isn’t long enough yet.

***Please note that ***Flawless is not available on Spotify, but if were it would probably be the only song on this playlist.

Like a boi band.

There’s a feminist anthem out there for you. Or, rather, in here.

A playlist full of walking-down-the-street-in-your-own-happy-music-video music.

The Lumberjanes are back! This time they have to deal with mysterious forest apes, campers from the near-by boy’s camp and a whole lot more. We also exclusively have the complete, official playlist from this issue!
