I was just a closeted teen lesbian, wishing on every star in the galaxy that I could one day waltz with Jennifer Lopez!

Every body has a history; yours doesn’t preclude you from pleasure. Go forth and jam!

Plus: You gotta watch this Ellen/Sean Hayes interview, a UK Bad Girls reunion, Lena Waithe remains the smoothest operator, a Fosters spin-off for the moms(??), a gay Emily Dickinson comedy, and so much more!

Truly, a hot take if there ever was one, except I’m backed by cold, hard facts.

Your family buys you weird gifts, your mom is kinda rude about your long-distance girlfriend, and you can’t move on after this breakup. Let’s get some shit done! Come on!

“The desire to be on a sketch show has been fulfilled, and I get to be on one which I fit into instead of being the brunt of the jokes.”

Flirting by watching Instagram stories, how to know if you can do long-distance, a Valentine’s Day Crash Pad Series sale and more.

The statistics on acceptance of LGBT people were generally staying the same or improving, until last year — when, as GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis puts it, “the acceptance pendulum abruptly stopped and swung in the opposite direction.”

I don’t want a Season Two. I want a dark comedy / procedural with two lesbian cops on the prowl, fighting crime and battling sexual tension.

This year was marked with so much bad – it throws the beautiful and the light into starker relief.

Kindergarten, 1st grade (2nd and 3rd grade photos mysteriously
absent because, again, third child and busy parents and if you’ve seen one school
photo of your kid, I mean, you’ve seen them all, right?) 4th, 5th, 6th grade
photos. You can really see me trying to add some andro-realness to my look and
my mother fighting me at every turn. She had a literal rule that I could not leave
the house without curling my hair (no joke) so I would put, as you can see, ONE
curl in it, maybe two, front and center, and be done. It was not easy to know how
to rock queer fashion in eastern Montana in the very early 1990s. My jeans
always had holes in the knees so at least there was that…

Also, Cara Delevingne jumped out of a heckin’ airplane, Amandla Stenberg wrestled a robot and Samira Wiley brought you some strawberries.

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

I’d watch a queer remake of Meet the Parents tbh

Turn on all the lights in the house and come read about the Winchester Mystery House, haunted cabins, songs playing from beyond the veil, and our deeply unsurprising number of experiences with ghost cats.

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

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.

Molly Ostertag knows how to draw to women (with tails and cat ears and fangs) having sex like Cate Blanchett knows how to seduce young shopgirls.

“She wouldn’t let me sit next to her on the bus on the way to camp! For some reason, I had this elaborate Charlie’s Angels-esque fantasy about her where we kicked down the emergency door of the bus together and like idk did a heist or something?”

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