Drew and Kayla discuss why they love the sequels, the first times they watched these movies, and the fact that Reloaded is the horniest Matrix installment.

I would argue that it becomes impossible to really talk about LGBTQ+ rights without delving into religion because religions the world over have long called us sinners. This is as true in America as it is in India.

The Autostraddle team tackles questions from asking your girlfriend to move in, decorating a new space after a divorce, healing after homelessness, decorating with a partner, making a space with roommates feel like your own, to carving out space for yourself on your commute, and more in this special Spaces & Places edition of Into the A+ Advice Box!

On putting the safe decorations in the closet and letting my home reach its full gay potential. On taking up space in my own space.

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!

Styling Billie Holiday, styling lesbian scammers, every queer moment on The Simpsons, Cynthia Erivo joins the new anthology series from GLOW’s creators, and more!

If you thought there wasn’t room for one more controversy to sweep Toronto, well, you were wrong. This officially marks the first time ever we haven’t wanted to move to Canada. Also: Judith Butler turns down an award, bisexuality gets surveyed, gay marriage in NY and the lives of gay youths.

I don’t want to be caught parading around in last generation’s false sense of security. I’m kicking off Autostraddle’s first Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) Heritage month by exploring the values my own South Asian and Japanese American parents and grandparents imparted to me, to learn to carry them forward.

I’m happy and grateful to be out, but I can’t get past feeling like I have created pain and difficulty for so many people.

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for!

Plus updates on: American Horror Story, Almost Family, Why Women Kill, and How To Get Away With Murder!

As The Haunting of Hill House has found new life across decades, the queerness has become more explicit yet less important to the overall work.

Tis the season to celebrate Pride by wearing rainbow gradient t-shirts that let the world know that love is love, love wins, pride unites, equality wins, love makes a family, it’s all love, we need more love, everybody is free to love and love unites!!!

“If Nola Darling is one of the most famous, even if uncomfortable, black queer women in pop culture – what does it mean for us that nearly everything about her is so closely tied to the man who created her?”

You want to look like your best self: fun, hot, interesting, and lez be real, it doesn’t hurt if you look like you might actually send the first message.

“It took me 14 years to recognize with certainty that I was a dyke. I wish I could say it was about the intellectual complexities of sexuality and gender, or that I was afraid of being different. Those were factors, but not nearly as pressing as this: I thought dykes had bad style.”

“There’s no male gaze in this movie, none whatsoever. Desiree Akhavan is a queer woman and her screenplay co-writer Cecilia Frugiuele is a queer woman too. It matters.”

It’s not perfect, and last week’s episode on Kat’s identity really missed the mark, but there’s a lot to love about this queer, feminist show.

I wasn’t at all ready for the feelings I’d have about being adopted and queer and raising a toddler who still isn’t as old as I was when I came to the United States on an airplane.

I can’t think of sixth grade without thinking of Iah. She was the friend I could never quite believe I had: smart, outspoken, well-liked across all social groups. Naturally, I always wondered what became of her.
Imagine my delight when the answer turned out to be “gay rabbi in Ohio.”
