Transparent isn’t a show about any single person. It’s a show about family. That’s what it’s always been and when it focuses on that, it’s at its absolute best.

Thus, much like actual life, Trump’s presence in the show casts a dark shadow over an otherwise viable existence AND ALSO OVER LESBIANS.

It doesn’t look like Marvel will really going to be adding a lot of movies starring women or poc to their upcoming schedule any time soon. So instead, what I propose is that they fill up each movie with as many poc, women, disabled and LGBTQ characters as they can. Just stuff those movies full of ’em.

“Jessi showed me that it was cool to focus on my ambitions and to form deep relationships with other girls instead of being boy-obsessed.”

Where did you go on your summer vacation? These queers went all over the place and everyone is very cute (but you already knew that). Your latest community gallery is here!

“When I was 10, I wrote a letter to Disney asking them what I should do to become an imagineer.”

“I decided to make lobster bisque for my mom at the same moment I decided to come out to her. Only one of those things went according to plan.”

This weekend, LA showed its pride by marching in resistance of oppression.

I followed trans adult film-maker Chelsea Poe on a DIY world tour.

Plus: Grey’s Anatomy’s 300th episode, keeping up with Annalise and her new potential gal pal, Jessica Szhor plays a lesbian again, there’s some queer women on The Girlfriend Experience, and American Horror Story: Cult marches grimly toward its final episode.

There aren’t many new lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer characters on fall TV, but there are a few; and a handful of returning favorites.

Kara is being worshipped by a cult, Sam is invited to Girls’ Night, Alex has a breakdown; it’s a lot, honestly.

Priestdaddy, the poet’s new coming-of-age memoir, has a lot of twists and a lot of power.

Also AHS: Cult keeps being terrifying for all the wrong reasons.

Topics include Rachel Maddow, Chelsea Manning, the new Ken dolls, “Get Out,” mobile homes, “writing Iranian-American,” Elizabeth Wurtzel, the GOOP summit and more!

“Some people don’t like how many queer characters or NPCs are in our campaign, or when either of the women on the show talk too much. Anyone feminine in our society is still expected to be quiet, subservient, and apologetic. Of course I’m not going to make myself or my character more palatable for anyone else’ sake.”

It’s founded, sponsored and supported by grassroots organizations and queer folks just like you and me!

Underwear! We all wear it. Or you know, most of us do. For more than that, you’ll have to read this roundtable.

Shannon Purser feels ya, Yorkie.

“It’s interesting and refreshing to be in this time period where authors are resisting in their own way.”
