It’s our epic guide to some of the best places to eat, learn, walk, shop, party and be queer in Los Angeles.

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!

Welcome to 2023, which promises to be yet another spectacular year for feminist and queer books. This winter is only the beginning!

The L Word: Generation Q featured 12 new queer characters of color in its first season, but media conversations about the show have largely remained driven by white points of view. So, we set out to change that.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives…

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences — like Hollywood itself, and mainstream TV criticism — continues to be dominated by a voting block of mostly straight white men. So, for the first time ever, we’ve decided to host our own Autostraddle TV awards to coincide with the Emmys.

We’ve always been here.

The conversation of multi-dimensional black thought, and questions of isolation or not feeling “black enough”, is one that a lot black people are familiar with. It’s smart and nuanced.

2017 somehow turned out to be the best year ever for lesbian and bisexual women on television — but we’ve still got a ways to go.

Who snagged top honors at the most important television awards show in the entire world and also in the entire history of the planet?!?!?!?!?!?!

2016 was the best of times and the worst of times. JK, it was the absolute worst of times. A lot of queer women died on TV. But a lot of them kissed and made googly eyes at each other too.

Supernatural kills Charlie, Gotham tropes Barbara, Arrow marries Nyssa off to a man. But on the upside, Samira Wiley crushed it on Law & Order: SVU and Raven was amazing on Black-ish.

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

“ANYWAY YEAH come get a scorpion!”

We’ve finally arrived at a place where we have enough queer characters on TV to fight about them. What a time to be alive!
