30 days. 21 lesbian bars. Three queer people. One epic road trip.

We’re looking to bring some more writers on our team and listen — maybe perhaps you are one of them?

“I didn’t want a divorce, didn’t want to open our relationship, didn’t want to start dating other people — I just wanted to own this piece of myself that I’d spent a lifetime denying.”

Lady gays abound on this week’s episode of Top Chef! Plus updates on: the season finale of This Is Us, Nancy Drew, Charmed, All Rise, and All American. Also, the trailer for the new gay Gossip Girl is here, you know you love us, XOXO.

Behold! Our seasonal list of every single TV show — new and returning — featuring a queer or trans woman character!

If Disney wasn’t ready to explicitly represent a fifth of its young audience, they could’ve at least given Elsa a gal pal. I don’t need to see Elsa make out with the mysterious voice calling her to the next chapter of queer life, but lord did it have to be her mother?

Remembering that queer people have always been here, and have always been hot, is a necessity if we want our present and future to be truly queer.

“Little A+ box, I just wanted you to know that today I did my part in helping to burn the patriarchy to the ground.”

“At the end of the prologue, I had to put the book down, because I had broken out in ugly, heaving sobs on a Monday night in the dog days of summer, after a hot and heated and emotionally heavy July eclipse, drinking a glass of rose in my apartment in Harlem.”

We talked to One Day at a Time writers, Becky Mann and Michelle Badillo, about gay representation on TV, how Autostraddle came to be in the script, their queer TV roots, what kind of LGBT stories are missing from TV and what’s in store for Elena in a potential next season.

AfterEllen is a part of a legacy of brilliant publications created by passionate lesbian, queer and bisexual women that unfortunately no longer exist, but were cool for a while.

This book is jam packed with awesome. Unsurprisingly, so is Maggie Nelson.

In this very special Drawn to Comics we get to announce Cathy G. Johnson’s new book about a misfit middle school girls’ soccer team and talk about the upcoming queer paranormal romance anthology The Other Side!

“I struggled with my sexuality for a long time and I think it would have been so much easier if I’d seen someone like me on TV or in a movies or in books. Femslash fan fiction gave me that; the stories I read showed I wasn’t alone because other people had to think like me if they’re writing about this stuff.”

“Remember that everyone around you, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, is grappling with a lot of the same things that you are right now: about what they want “family” to look like and mean to them, about sex and sexuality and learning to live in their bodies, about how to hold onto faith when it can feel like there’s not much going for it.”
