Could 2016 BE any more brutal for lesbian and bisexual TV characters?

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

“I’ve been thinking recently that queer time for me is a self-declared snow day. A chance to stay in bed and explore ourselves unhindered by the outside world. A chance to exist, to play — free from the hetero pillars of career, marriage, and lineage.”

Glaad says Valentine’s Day is secretly gay, The Real World DC mini-recap, Out Media’s $10K contest for college queers (you could win!), Modern Family’s gay dad interviewed, Rihanna heats bisexual rumors, Porita behind-the-scenes, Gaga & Cyndi Lauper continue their talk show tour and talk about their gay followings, Ellen will be dancing on TV for 3 more years, best Single Ladies parody ever, LiLo misses her flight, Melissa Etheridge’s new album, and Janeane Garofalo dream job on 30 Rock.

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; suggested changes to the DSM V are OUT!, wanna be sexy Elmo for Halloween, shopping for love, sexism by the numbers, nuns go all Salt’n’Pepa on Oprah, and feminism at school.

Five Clexa stories to keep you warm on cold nights, some answers to some TV questions, and a fandom news roundup.

Ten years ago everybody wanted to know which “L Word” actresses were gay but nobody dared to spill — now that everyone is gay or bisexual, these pressing questions can finally be answered.

A trans storyline on a murder show that isn’t horrible, a narrow escape on Arrow, more conflicting feelings about American Horror story, and a prayer that Carmilla and Laura will just kiss for six straight minutes some time soon.

Want to be filled with awe and rage? I have just the video game for you.

Openly gay writers/directors Lisa Cholodenko and Jane Anderson took home trophies. Jane Lynch snagged another win. And Transparent pulled down three Emmys, too!

By the time straight women of the second wave had caught up to the times, queer women had already f*cked up their movement — and built one all their own.

“Didn’t you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything.”

Charlie returns to Supernatural, ladies are smooching on The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, Younger is still delightful, and Bold and the Beautiful continues to mangle its trans storyline.

“Yep, that’s right. Out of 314 major Hollywood film releases, one single film — Melissa McCarthy’s Tammy — passed the Vito Russo test with queer female characters.”

Lena and Stef chat about some sexy handcuff situations, while Jude and Connor kiss right on the mouth.
