The “Heathers” reboot has a genderqueer teen and a black lesbian Heather, Sarah Paulson’s bringing someone VERY special to the Emmys, everybody is gay, Last Tango in Halifax has a few regrets about burying their lesbians and more important pop culture stories for your head and heart!

This is a story centered around poor Black and Latinx communities, their struggles with institutional abandonment, and their journeys to self-love and empowerment.

Now that everything’s been made public, the roll out on this is going to be quick. What rural town from which you’ll steal land is best for you? Should you diversify and steal from multiple areas? Should you stake claim on your new land by driving a dildo into the ground?

I may be extrapolating, but I am pulling my theories from very real, very present stuff. This is basically science, y’all.

There’s a new lesbian rom-com out there that gets my little gay heart fluttering, and no, you can’t watch it in a movie theater. But you can probably catch it upwards of 16 times in a row when trying to stream something on the CW’s website.

Plus Marjorie and Catehrine are the only people who come out on top of Veep, The Fosters subdues its active shooter, and let’s finally talk about the Orphan Black finale!

Is Game of Thrones going there with Yara and Daenerys? Seems like maybe! Waverly and Haught make out twice on Wynonna Earp. Catherine and Marjorie’s story takes center stage on Veep. And Audrey gets A-ed on Scream.

Hey, Sarah Manning is bi! And so is Waverly on Wynonna Earp (she finally kissed Haught right on the mouth!). Also, Scream is back and Rosewood ended stupidly.

The more I look at film trends over these past social media-soaked years, the more I see the same pattern emerging. The films that end up doing well and making an impact are those that treat their characters with enough care to make them complex, treat their audience with enough respect to make the story engaging and compelling. Ellen Page’s new film Tallulah is one of these films.

Jeanette Winterson and personal growth, weeding out books and library collections, whether or not copy editing is dead and more.

Rihanna encourages a gay superfan to come out, the fight for LGBT equality is raging on worldwide, Janet Mock won a Shorty Award for her activism, everyone still hates your dumb anti-LGBT legislation, and a hedgehog from the AS community is in here trying to pick up a stick! Seriously, come for the news but stay for this hedgehog.

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).

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.

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

In our first episode of a brand-new travel column, we go to a little town in Wisconsin and stay in a very big mansion on a very tall bed.

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!

Amazon releases Transparent early, Lucy Lawless is lesbian-ing again, Carmilla bids adieu to season zero, and Pippy and TMI almost break up on Rosewood.

This week had some confusing moments (Really Grammy Awards, Really?) but the Autostraddle Comment Awards are here to ease your mind. And guess what? TAYLOR SWIFT DIDN’T AUTO-WIN ONE! Instead of some golden statue, you get fame and notoriety… or at least, the respect of your peers.

Halloween costume time is the best time of year to tower over your girlfriend or best friend or partner (or vice versa).

Orange Is the New Black, The Fosters, Sense8, Pretty Little Liars, Glee, and more!
