In honor of our seventh birthday, a look back on the seven television shows with the biggest impact on the representation of LGBTQ women over the last seven years.

Come on in!

Unreal’s web-exclsuive series is delightfully gay. Empire is still Empire. And Penny just will not go away on Grey’s.

A city in Texas debates a bathroom ordinance similar to North Carolina’s HB2 and it dies without a votes but there’s no telling what’s gonna happen in the state’s legislature in 2017; the FDA launched a multi-million dollar campaign aimed at LGBT young adults to quit using tobacco; women feel sexiest in their mid-thirties a new study says and more news.

The alleged behavior of witnesses to the 1963 murder of Kitty Genovese, a lesbian barmaid who lived in Queens with her girlfriend, inspired the concept of “the bystander effect.” The only problem is that the story of the 38 apathetic bystanders isn’t even remotely true.

Ruby Rose gets a GLAAD honor, Sarah Paulson talks about my favorite show to one of my favorite people, Julie Goldman snags a role on a new ABC lesbian-themed sitcom (!!), The Family’s lesbian lifetsyle blogger, behind the scenes of Carol and more!

Queer TV is shaky this year, but there’s another Carmilla-adjacent webseries to bring you joy!

Sarah Paulson is crazy in love with Holland Taylor, y’all. Also: Ellen Page is headlining SXSW, Robin Roberts and Ellen get drunk together sometimes, Finding Dory gets a trailer, Cruel Intentions gets a TV remake, and Lita Ford confesses she quit The Runaways for a minute because everyone was a lesbian.

Some Black History Month goodness, Rachel Maddow all of the place, sustainability, a reflective Ellen Page, horror ASMR, bullshit transphobic laws, on calling yourself bisexual, Sally Ride chatting it up with Gloria Steinem, Robin Roemer being cool, more lesbian haikus, and other links to cram into your life!

Welcome back to “Faking It,” a show in which Amy definitely doesn’t have feelings for Karma anymore at all, definitely not.

“it’s amazing how much more grownup writing a column on the internet makes you seem.”

Working for four and a half years in the quality department at a kitchen gadget company has left me with some strong opinions about proper cooking prep.

Topics include Lily-Rose Depp, Barbie being full of lies, hipster homophobia, Beyoncé, Zoolander 2, relationships and Netflix, BriaAndChrissy, Professor Sprout and more!

This week on Faking It, Zita throws a “Surprise Bar Mitzvah” but nobody gets me a gift basket and Karma and Amy debate the pros and cons of squashing this thing and reuniting as “best friends” forever.

Topics include Debi Thomas, the Mall of America, murder, kids on the sex offender registry, Trader Joe’s, what people smell like, Texts From Jane Eyre and more!

Another day, another stray arrow in the eyeball. Plus: Hannah has her first queer hook-up on Girls.

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

Ali Liebert arrives in style on Legends of Tomorrow, Honey and Jessica go back to the Denim Turtle on Fresh off the Boat, and Eve invites Annalise to run away with her (again).

Clea Duvall debuts her film “The Intervention” at Sundance, also “The First Girl I Loved” is a Sundance debut relevant to your interests, also Ellen Page on being a gay actress and Gaycationing, also the Academy makes moves towards being less white and awful and also other stories too!

Also: ABC has hired the first black female broadcast president, iO Tillett Wright scores a new MTV show, everyone is finally starting to see that lesbians make the best love stories, Julianne Moore can’t stop praising Ellen Page, and Elmo joins Hamilton.
