Find out whether Amber and Nour adopt a pet together, and the exciting potential future of Justin the tattooed vet and Max, who Stef lovingly describes as a “sex idiot.”

Plus an update on Nomi’s bad decision making on grown-ish, Burden of Truth is getting super interesting, and My Little Pony goes out with a gay bang.

Sadly, that’s also pretty much everything that makes Men in Black: International great.

Plus more from Ruby Rose on Batwoman, the first woman director to win a Queer Palm at Cannes, fact-checking Booksmart’s lesbian sex, TLW: Gen Q is coming to Pride, and more!

I spent five days in Miami and Miami Beach, and it was not nearly enough! Here are some things I checked out and would recommend.

I pulled these nuggets of little gold from all three hours of Endgame and I cannot wait to re-live them in obsessive, snarky detail with you!

Q: What is the L Word** and why are we LARPing about it?
A: If you’ve never seen the iconic, important, drama-infused, and at times problematic** television show about West Hollywood lesbians living, laughing, learning, loving, etc., it’s not too late – and it’s on Netflix! Autostraddle has a helpful guide on how to ease in (https://tinyurl.com/y424w74s). If you’re familiar with the program, you may also know that the series will be relaunched sometime in the near-ish future. We LARP to celebrate and lampoon this vanguard of lesbian representation before it is unleashed upon the world again!

—————————————–

**When the L Word began airing in 2004, it was, for some queer women, the first time we saw ourselves writ large. Or, at least, it was one of the first times we saw our friendships, romances, traumas, and heartbreaks on television, with storylines that did not end exclusively in tragedy or a nunnery. It was big and important and over the top and a huge part of some folks’ early queer lives.

The L Word was also highly problematic, heavily focused on a white cis woman experience within an elite socioeconomic class, often complicit in blatant racist and transphobic messaging, and suffered for its exclusion of the queer experience of people outside of a wealthy West Hollywood lesbian community. This event seeks to celebrate the parts of the L word we wish to keep – the LOLs, the drama, the characters and moments that made us feel connected and seen. And to critique and leave behind the parts that made queer folx feel anything less than loved and lifted up. Lez do this ♥

With just two episodes left this season, I made you a Charmed Cheat Sheet, filled with all the important details of this topsy turvy magical world.

I’m old enough to remember when the only way you could see four queer women on one episode of TV was to watch The L Word.

“It’s a world filled with wonderful, kind, queer people.”

Our continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new lesbian life and new bisexual civilizations, and to boldly go where this franchise often vehemently refused to go before!

Topics include a new Gina Rodriguez rom-com with a black queer lead played by DeWanda Wise, big things on Queer Eye’s third season, Anna Paquin’s new lesbian period film, the Derry Girls and teenage apathy

There’s been even more talk of cats than usual on the queer internet lately, due to Oatmeal the cat in Russian Doll and Chewie the cat in Captain Marvel. Let’s keep that momentum going!

What it means to show up for your partners, cutting the cord with an ex, a few approaches to non-monogamy, an anal anatomy lesson and more.

NBC Out talked to Ilene Chaiken about what we can expect from the upcoming “L Word” reboot.

“I can’t explain how unreal it felt to be able to let my guard down with a big group of strangers on a hike.”

Reneice is making us a cake! Then you can make the cake! We can all make the cake!

Stories include a record-breaking number of LGBTQ-inclusive films garnering Oscar nods, the long road to The Favourite, Kristen Stewart’s hot new haircut, queer Sundance picks, Batwoman gets a filming start date, gay women role models on TV, the Intimacy Coordinator of sex scenes, and so much more!

With Gillian Anderson’s Sex Education landing on Netflix, it feels like the perfect time to gather our TV Team and talk about sex on TV, specifically queer sex on TV, and its evolution over these many years.

The 71-year-old has prided herself on being a hard worker coming from a humble background and being a champion for the people. But her lackluster campaign and her not-so perfect record as Dallas County Sheriff has dampened Texans’ enthusiasm for her as a candidate, including this queer Tejana.
