Bam! Season 2 has begun. This episode is called “The Quickening”, maybe for how quickly time has flown by since the end of last season. Kidding! It felt like forever and I wanted to die.

I like weird books, and these people write them.

On this very special Sunday Funday, DC gets aware, Charlottesville gets proud, Brandi Carlile gets married, and the Midwest gets gay. Also, we made you a video — you’re welcome.

On unchecked discrimination, privilege and ignorance. How do you begin to change a world that thinks it’s already changed?

“Every time a loudspeaker crackled in class, kids braced themselves for the feared preamble, ‘We’ve had a tragic loss.'”

“Pariah” is the first mainstream American film about an African-American lesbian, and it’s really fucking good. You can watch our interview videos and read some words about it inside this post.

“Work It” doesn’t work for me, down with trans misogyny!

This is how we do it, it’s Sunday night and I’m feeling right, the party is here on the Lez Side.

This is what a repeal of DADT looks like at a gay community center in Oklahoma.

Let’s cuddle and enjoy lesbian books, community building on behalf of gays everywhere, Jane Lynch in a suit, Rose McGowan’s lesbian posse, and a two-piece swimsuit.

NBC’s “The Playboy Club” starring Amber Heard is allegedly totally degrading to women but also has a lot of homosexy stuff going on, like The Lesbian Activist Bunny!

This post is NSFW and a giant SPOILER ALERT, and also it’s about Season Two of “The Real L Word,” which is about two girls, one gay and a pizza place. Something like that.

This week we all learned about what can happen if you drink too much. For example this recap.

In today’s edition of “I am gay and want to do things anyway,” gays are still trying to legally be in love, around the world, and state rights are still proving to be ineffective ways to govern the love lives of American gay people (ahem).

If you forget the whole child-rape-flashback thing, the Papa Porter dying thing, the Helena-wasting-time-Tina-could-be-with-Bette thing, the paper-dolls/Baruch Atah LaLa Hoolehay Heeyhoooo thing, the Marc pantsing himself thing (when he really should just write “fuck me” on his chest) and the Jenny/Random Elder thing, Loud and Proud is one of the series’ best episodes. Let me rephrase this: if “The L Word” was “The Dana & Alice Show,” Loud and Proud would be one of THAT show’s best episodes.

Ramin Setoodeh returns to his exalted position as Worst Person of the (Gay) (News)Week.

Basically this one time I said that John Travolta was gay and SOMEBODY was like “No he isn’t,” and I was like YES HE IS and now Carrie Fisher has said that he is so it’s true now which means I win. Is this tacky. Should we not talk about John Travolta being gay.

Plus, Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson (!!!) will star in Jane Schoenbrun’s new film and more LGBTQ+ pop culture news!

From Our Flag Means Death to A League of Their Own to It’s a Sin, here are 15 LGBTQ+ shows set in the past with vibrant, interesting queer characters.

On Our Backs, which originally ran from 1984 to 1990 and was revitalized from 1998 to 2002, existed for one central purpose: to portray lesbian sex and sexuality, with real lesbians.
