“YES PUSSY IS ON THE LIST
omg”

Everyone at the Oscars was just following Janelle Monáe and Tessa Thompson around and we’re so here for it.

Part sapeur, part Janelle Monae, a recent spread from Blackattitude titled “Dandy Queens” is down-right stunning.

We believe that the best lesbian movies rank among the very best movies, period.

No not that kind.

Almost every category in this 2022 best of list was very competitive.

Here are eight books, seven poems, six people to follow, five ways to support black trans people, four places to donate, three shows, two albums, two games, and one tool to get you ready for Pride 2022!

“Who else saw Janelle Monáe in that flower outfit and wanted to watch things BURN?”

The fact is most of the films about us — and especially the films by us — do not get the attention they deserve. But nobody is better equipped to tell our stories than we are.

“Turns out there’s nothing better than f*cking under cover of deep, tall grass in the sunshine. Currently protecting my field spot like a dragon.”

The couples (or maybe just VERY CLOSE FRIENDS) who set our hearts aflutter all year long.

Lena Waithe, Janelle Monáe, Stella Maxwell, Cara Delevingne, Ruby Rose and more!!

Also, Janelle Monáe is taking over the world and the cast of Orange Is The New Black are ruining your photo shoot.

There’s just some songs that make you want to shout and dance and that make you feel proud to be queer.

Hey, remember when Cara was in Paper Towns and a sexist interviewer asked her if she had read the book? WELL SHE WROTE ONE. Also, Annie Clark has a special request, and there might be a ghost trapped inside Janelle Monáe.

Topics include a face transplant, Janelle Monae, business school, Jodie Foster, mattresses, the men who brought 9/11 home, letters to the editor, last meals, writing advice from Rick Bass and moar!

Some very lucky people are going to be bestowed giant awards of great import. Who will win “Best World Cup Anthem” or “Most Ridiculous Moment on Ke$ha’s Debut Album”? These people include Janelle Monae, Girl Talk, Lil Wayne and the entire country of Canada.

It’s the Met! And you know what that means! It’s time to look upon hot queers, poke a some fun at celebrity culture, and give flowers the designers, culture workers, and glam teams that make this topsy-turvy fashion world go ’round. 

A butch resurgence is among us. Also: Janelle Monáe being Black, queer, and free on the cover of Ebony Magazine, RuPaul on drag ban bills, and the Haitian Women’s Team qualified for the World Cup!

Also, we must now dedicate a section to Janelle Monaé’s NBA All Star triumph!
