The good, the bad, the ugly, and the revolutionarily boring queer TV storylines of the year.

“Aside from bringing another deck to the world, I’m excited to create a deck that illustrates a blend of mind and body outcasts. The deck originated as a ‘queer deck’ but its definitely grown since that. I want to focus on people’s cultural and subcultural backgrounds, I want to blur fundamentalist spirituality, but maintain a lot of the traditional concepts behind the images.”

Annalise can’t stop dreaming about little Wes-shaped babies on HTGAWM, Meredith faces ANOTHER traumatic disaster on Grey’s Anatomy, and Clarke and Lexa begin their post-fealty lives.

I’ve got good news for you, from Nepal to Argentina to Scotland and back!

Dellal talks about Ray as if he is a girl, and she talks about transitioning as if it’s a costume or an on/off switch. She even uses “she/her” pronouns to talk about Ray and frequently misgenders him.

“That’s what these awards are, a deep and profound thank you to all of the people who make us glad that we didn’t listen when we were told that girls don’t read comics.”

From Ali Adler to Nahnatchka Khan to Ilene Chaiken to three different women named “Liz,” you might not recognize their faces, but you’ll definitely recognize their work.

The creator of Clarissa Explains It All has published some fan fiction about her grown-up life. Plus: An essay on what fandom can mean to women in their 30s, some witchy story recommendations, answers to your TV questions, and a fic news round up!

Early scathing reviews of “Stonewall,” the 10 characters you see in every Ryan Murphy show, talking to MC Bre-Z about her lesbian character on “Empire,” Julia Nunes’ debuts a new music video and other very important pop culture stories!

“I will probably be Connie Britton Editor from now on. Also heading up our Star Witness Akita division.”

“I’m not stuck somewhere in the middle of being a boy and a girl. I’m not two people. I’m not some binary. I am an experience.”

“Stonewall couldn’t be more whitewashed than if it was doused in Clorox Bleach and thrown into the laundry three times over.”

Chris Brown stands up a gay party for being too gay, Ellen DeGeneres talks to Caitlyn Jenner about same-sex marriage, Bangladesh gets its first lesbian cartoon character, new music from Christine & The Queens, queers are all over The Root 100, SO MANY new queer movies to look forward to AND SO MUCH MORE!

Hellcat, Lumberjanes, Bitch Planet, Ms. Marvel, Moon Girl and more of my favorite comics from this past year!

“Trauma wasn’t meant to happen at 9 a.m. on that August morning. Not when I was running on time, and somehow missed the long line for the day’s first cup of coffee. Nothing could have warned me that the meticulous construction of my person would be unraveled while my peers watched from their own cocoons of solitude.”

Blindspot and Code Black reveal that two of their characters are gay, The Vampire Diaries has introduced the half-witch/half-vampire lesbian couple, and Jane the Virgin is still the best damn thing on TV.

A not terrible sex tape, fat people in porn, whether your summer fling will last and more.

“Jo’s trans identity was just another integral part of her character, and it developed very naturally — she was a leader, she was VERY passionate about being a Lumberjane, she was also trans.”

The Fun Home star returned to her roots at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater in New York City on August 31st to perform a one-woman cabaret show following a rural lesbian through her tomboy childhood, an engagement (to a man!), her first stint as an actress in New York, another marriage (to a woman!), and her ever-tense relationship with her Colorado cowboy father.

One of my favorite things about the internet is the rise of queer-friendly comics anthologies like these.
