Being in your 30’s with no queer dating experience, packing a carry-on for a long-distance date, dealing with astrology if you don’t believe in it, and more!

We knew, but the way Sophie and Ryan keep stealing smiles at each other, and confirming their relationship to their friends?! WE DESERVE THIS, OKAY!!!

RuPaul may have just RuPauled more than he’s ever RuPauled.

Carrie gets a new hip, Charlotte’s kid gets a new name, and Miranda gets some gay sex.

We do lose something when dedicated queer spaces like Into, Girlfriends and SheWired shutter or AfterEllen goes full TERF, but we also lose something when The Awl, The Hairpin and The Toast do. These were places where writers were free to experiment, to be weird, to make writer-first content that isn’t easily monetizable.

We have the transcript as well as links to any products that were shown during Merry Fistmas: A Virtual Vaginal Fisting Workshop, AND the link to the recording, all wrapped up for you right here!

I will never again cultivate a romantic relationship with a cis person on purpose, not in this life. I have been hurt too badly, too often, by too many people. T4T only. Inscrutable genders from outer space to the front, those that can be best described as “smell of campfire” && “a great pink shape.” && those best described as “a single chandelier earring dragging across your chest while we fuck.”

“Stephen Universe is a cartoon show about a little boy with a large mouth who wears flip-flops regardless of weather or situation. Rebecca Sugar made the show and she is bisexual. Stephen has imaginary friends who live in a big jewelry emporium in outer space famous for its ability to fuse different types of gemstones and rocks into each other.”

“I’m the first google result for ‘lesbian stripper’ and I’m so fucking proud of that!”

“Being a closeted teen who wasn’t even aware meant I just listened to melancholy songs and imbued an unrealistic amount of meaning to them.”

Join Carmen Phillips, Valerie Anne, Heather Hogan, and special guest Meg Jones Wall to talk about the triumph, heartbreak, gayness, and empowerment of one of our all-time favorite animated series.

“Lol yes just got off work and ready for dyke shit”

Tip #2 – “Don’t Trust the Internet.”

“Hello, is this a safe space where we can discuss the complete emotional dismantling perpetrated by Heather Hogan’s letter accompanying the fundraiser?”

Valerie and Riese chat about “Shameless,” the Showtime dramedy we weren’t watching for the gay lady parts and then suddenly there were a lot of gay lady parts. Did we like them? Find out!

If casual dating is a thing you want, you can do it! I believe in you / us / our ability to not get married on the third date.

“It took me 14 years to recognize with certainty that I was a dyke. I wish I could say it was about the intellectual complexities of sexuality and gender, or that I was afraid of being different. Those were factors, but not nearly as pressing as this: I thought dykes had bad style.”

Once I saw Heather Hogan stop a man who had been calling her “doll” in his tracks by asking him “What’s your name, buddy?” and that’s the same energy as Endora refusing to remember Darrin’s name correctly.

“I think I’m willing to do this because I’m constantly aware that death awaits us all and I’m more inclined to want to heighten an experience if I can.”

“for a second i was like…………….did i break this channel
with my confession”
