Clea DuVall manages a real Christmas miracle in Happiest Season by capturing the distinctly queer and quietly heart-wrenching experience of not being able to share your real self with the people you love most, when all you want to do is shout from the tallest chimney in town that you’ve found your person, that you’re in love.

“It turns out I’ve been right all along: love is bigger than all that.”

Plus updates on Legacies and All American!

When I went to college at Oberlin, where my parents met, I found out that my mom had not only been in the MOST hippie-dippie of co-ops, which was appropriately vegan, but was the head tofu maker there too. So I began to learn what she loves about tofu.

These characters sure do love to self-sabotage!

Kim and Lindsay’s friendship is the real love story of this series. I want them to end up as friends like everyone wants the leads to end up together in a romantic comedy. I shake with it.

A suburban Jersey caper keeps the adult Yellowjackets busy, Lottie sees more of the future, Taissa cuts her own hair, and the woods get wilder.

Happy holidays! And by “happy” I mean, things sure feel really bad right now?? But luckily our gift to you is a virtual one AKA our long-awaited mailbag episode!

Sara and Ava lead the team on a sitcom-themed adventure to prove that representation matters by way of saving Behrad’s favorite show.

This is the story of the birth and death of my name, which means that it is a story about transition, which means that it is necessarily a story about the border between two places and the force with which one rends it.

The AS team tackles advice for entering your 30’s (and we’d love to see yours in the comments), as well as advice for a member who’s found their sex drive has disappeared shortly after moving in with a partner, advice on coming out and labels, untangling trauma while exploring sex with your partner, finding boots that don’t make your feet hurt, and more!

“I’m finding, especially with women, a couple of different kinds of gays. I’ve met people who say, “I knew I was gay my whole life, and I lived this lie, and then I finally came out.” My kind of gay is like the late-breaking-lesbian kind of gay.”

Part of this job is making peace with the fact that I will, in fact, never get everything done that I want to.

What’s happening with Pornhub? Plus, whether a huge variety of sex positions is worth it, lesbian age-gap relationship discourse, another devastating pandemic loss and more.

Today we’re answering your questions about D I V O R C E! What if your girlfriend is already divorced and doesn’t want to get married again, what do you do when you’re about to meet your divorced date’s kid, and what do you say to someone when they tell you they’re divorced?

“Foxy Brown quickly became my favorite film of the blaxploitation classica. Pam Grier — yes, that Pam Grier, Bette’s big sister (it’ll annoy me forever that that’s how generations of queer women remember Grier) — was just astounding in the titular role… badass and unrelentingly sexy. The other awesome thing about that movie? I think it was the first time I’d seen a lesbian bar on screen.”

Riese: I would text Riley and be like “you up?”
Carly: Are you still at the gay bar…? Because?
Riese: I would come back incensed with rage and ready to make a mistake.
Carly: Ready to ruin my relationship.
Riese: Yes. I would be full of the spirit of ruin and ready to share it.

I’m sorry, I have a soft spot for loud insecure queers.

“Do you feel like we’re drifting apart?” I asked.

I wouldn’t say I’ve escaped the Cult of Mommy completely. I’ve defined it for myself.
