Queer cinema can be about the challenges we face, the oppression we experience, the microaggressions and aggression aggressions and all the rest, and still be fun and sexy. In fact, fun and sexy are two of our greatest tools.

Fat people have long been stigmatized and harshly judged as not “doing enough” to take care of themselves, disregarding the impact of socioeconomic factors on people’s access to healthy food or even having time to exercise. Now, when all that can be fixed with just a simple drug, we’ll be judged for not taking it, disregarding the socioeconomic reality that not all of us can afford it.

If you have yet to see Past Lives, you should watch it as soon as possible. But I think you should read the film, too.

“There’s a once-in-century virus eating away at the fabric of everything we know about how to live, just let the gays kiss for once! Let women of color win the fucking Oscar!” Drew, Riese and Carmen binged Ryan Murphy’s newest Netflix release, and they can’t wait to talk about it.

One already has a sequel not even a month after losing Best Picture at the 2018 Oscars, but let’s take a closer look.

Your heroes on what it’s like to not be a straight white male in Hollywood, 72% of LGBT speaking characters are men, an Oscar voter on why Carol “gets on his nerves,” Kate McKinnon on Ellen, Cameron Esposito’s new show, Ava DuVernay’s “Wrinkle in Time” adaptation and more!

Are you watching the Oscars? I don’t even know what they are. But this week a dolphin saved a dog from drowning???

What do you think comments taste like? Do you think they taste like salmon cookies or like chicken cookies? I HOPE IT’S SALMON.

I think it’s very Cancer of me to watch Mary Lambert’s “She Keeps Me Warm” music video on Valentine’s Day just so I could feel my heart clench and cry a little.

God grant me the aloof assuredness of a woman who’s lived a life.

Stories include a record-breaking number of LGBTQ-inclusive films garnering Oscar nods, the long road to The Favourite, Kristen Stewart’s hot new haircut, queer Sundance picks, Batwoman gets a filming start date, gay women role models on TV, the Intimacy Coordinator of sex scenes, and so much more!

Laverne Cox’s music video Beat To The Gods, LGBTQ athletes winning at the Olympics, Daniela Vega is the first openly trans presenter at the Oscars, gender-inclusive makeup launch, Pulse survivors join gun control activism, and tear-jerking photos of Black kids watching Black Panther that will probably destroy you in a good way.

Jess sits down with Liz Feldman to talk about working with Ellen DeGeneres and Jay Leno, her talk show “This Just Out,” auditioning for Saturday Night Live, when she came out, how she became so tight with The L Word girls, and obvs an depth analysis of that ubiquitous blue blazer.

It’s Friday! Finally! So much happened this week; we had a birthday, talked to Marisa Meltzer, and went to prom with girls. There were some haters out on the interwebs this week, but y’all beat them up them with your typical funny and smarty pants selves so do yourselves a favor and go watch the new video for ‘Telephone.’

Warland, and Oscar of Between, is refreshingly unconcerned with being there already. Instead, she deep-dives into the potency of occupying transitional spaces, the beauty of being in-between.

Yes, an all new Suicide Squad trailer, a first look at the new Wonder Woman, Linda Perry is mad at Lady Gaga, Netflix announces a handful of things that are sure to thrill you, some new feminist-y TV shows are in the works, Carol sweeps the “Gay Oscars” & more queer entertainment news!

Gay marriage updates from Estonia, Utah, and obviously Las Vegas; a strong start for an LGBT rights petition in Michigan, a deeply moving video, the last of the 2015 lists, the Cat Oscars, and more!

It’s a difficult task to find a place that isn’t gay-friendly. It’s Vermont, you guys. You want to know where the gaybourhood is? Burlington is the gaybourhood.

We’re also going to talk more about Ellen and a super badass gay judge, and maybe a baby fox.

The nominees for the 2012 Oscars were announced! Do you have feelings about any of them? I have a few!
