I looked less and less like my mother— the image of womanhood I grew up with — and I was scared. Was she disappointed that I wasn’t like her? Did my femininity disappoint her? At the same time, I worried about being too masculine: people would know I wasn’t straight. I was angry: my mother taught me to be proud of who I was, but what if who I was becoming wasn’t good enough?

“I identified as a heterosexually-inclined bisexual when I started giving hand jobs for money, and I left more or less a lesbian. It wasn’t the only factor in that transformation, but boy was it a major one.”

“My brother would wander toward the TV to watch some movie, and I’d go straight for the computer and open two tabs. In one, YouTube. In the other, fanfiction.net, where I tweaked the character filters so I could read about Santana and Brittany falling in love for the thousandth time.”

What if the world doesn’t deserve to be saved? What if the most righteous thing a hero can do is watch the earth burn?

Whether you think Ready Player One is a cynical cash-grab or nostalgic ecstasy, the film answered the story’s main question in real life: Who deserves a seat at the table that shapes the story that shapes the world?

Whether we saw them on screen or in real life, we took notice of these dynamic couples and their undeniable chemistry and love.

And she has a Carol wall.

There were songs and bike races and hot air balloon rides and promises of forever and allusions to some of the most romantic tropes and movies of all times.

We’re also checking in on Queen Sugar, How to Get Away With Murder, and Grey’s Anatomy!

You shed your uterine lining every few weeks! Or maybe you suppress that shedding and call it day! Either way, we want to talk about how that’s going.

“Billie Jean King — a gay icon, a feminist idol, one of the greatest athletes in history, an unshakable pillar of indomitable humanity here in 2017 — becomes even more powerful in Battle of the Sexes, but the film also offers audiences the gift of undoing her invincibility in our imaginations by allowing her to fall in love.”

DO NOT use genitalia as a champagne flute.

Being bi is Gen’s favorite thing about herself. It’s as freeing for her as it’s become for me.
