“I wanted to have nightmares about monsters or mass shootings. It was too embarrassing — in the midst of global catastrophe — to be concerned with something as frivolous as high school.”

Everybody on this list except Angela Chase really believes in themselves and I truly do appreciate that in a human being.

I can guarantee there is something for everyone on this list of fall 2022 queer and feminist books, whether your jam is graphic novel fairy tales, memoirs about queer family, or anything in between.

“no one gives you a free personal pan pizza when you do something you really, really don’t want to do! we live in a crumbling society”

It’s your weekly queer TV round-up, with wee-caps on Hightown, All American, New Amsterdam. NCIS: Hawai’i, Legacies, Queens and Nancy Drew!

We have arrived at The Bold Type mid-season finale. Plus updates on: Boomerang, Twenties, and Legacies.

Wipe away those break up tears because we’re going to show you that love is not a lie! This week we have Autostraddle editor and all around icon Heather Hogan talking about her 11 year(!!) relationship with her wife and all things long term relationships.

Listen, I love an ensemble drama!

The New Mutants will feature Marvel’s first lesbian couple on the big screen! Also trailers for Apple+ TV’s LGBTQ TV documentary, the final season of Grace & Frankie, Sex Education season two! And so much more!

Melissa Benoist makes her directing debut, Alex eats dumplings, and Lena wears one hell of a suit.

“LOL yeah, I lusted for those spencers sex toys so bad”

“They murdered someone together which was sex. I don’t understand what’s confusing here.”

Plus, Lisbeth is back on Nancy Drew; Scylla wants Raelle to run away with her on Motherland; Rin and Maddie tackle tech on Siren; and Natalie concedes that Shondaland wins again.

Our TV critics smashed their heads together to deliver our picks for the years’ 25 best shows with queer, lesbian, bisexual and trans women characters as well as each of our individual top 15s. So much TV you’ve gotta see in here!

“Give me a human, I’ll keep it alive. Give me a plant, it’ll last a week.”

Also: What’s ahead for your favorite stabby lopvebirds on Killing Eve, Gentleman Jack’s scripts are available for you to pursue, the state of trans TV, GLOW’s fashion upgrade, and more!

Cozy up for a gay October with secret lesbian relationships amid an alien invasion, a way-more-gay I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, new seasons of The Baby-Sitter’s Club and Love Life, Wentworth’s last dance, Kiersey Clemons as an animated activist, a true crime limited series and so much more!

Queer women’s television has grown significantly in recent years. Still, we’ve watched our best continue to be sidelined by a straight white male majority that won’t pay attention to queer stories, women’s stories, stories about people of color. Well, no more my friends!

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

Also! Updates on American Horror Story: Double Feature, New Amsterdam, Legacies, Nancy Drew, Home Economics and High Town!
