My Top 10 Television Characters: Carmen, Who Never Forgets the Women Who Deserved Better

Is it a coincidence that this list of “women I loved who deserved better” is comprised of women of color — and almost exclusively queer women of color? Given the intertwined histories of sexism, racism, and homophobia in this country, I think not.

My Top 10 Television Characters: Natalie, Who’s a Sucker For a Good Character Arc

I’m not sure what it says about me — or, more precisely perhaps, what it says about television — that this list isn’t full of characters that feel like representations of me or the people that I’m drawn to in real life.

My Top 10 Television Characters: Drew Gregory, Who Is a Capricorn

If you’ve read this far I think it’s pretty clear that I love a highly competent femme with a lot of personal problems.
