Hey you! Yes, you! Did you know you’re perfect and amazing?

This week, the team wrote about their first online communities. (By the way, I am here to say that trying to come out in 2005 by putting a Ditty Bops song on your MySpace page but never referencing any other gay thing in any way does not, in fact, work.)

Alaina showed us how to flag. Or maybe just wear a bandana. Or a little bit of both?

This was SO GOOD: You Need Help: You Want to Have Sex But Also Sex Is a Lot Wow So Complicated.

We’ve got some Petramos believers in the house!

Kayla reviewed Disobedience, and wow, did you all have some thoughts about the sex scene.

Janelle! Monáe! Officially! Came out! 

And then there were your comments!

On Monday Roundtable: Our First Online Communities:

The Punky Power Award to Elena Tyler:

Honorable mention: Tied around one knee, a la Punky Brewster- the original 80s TV rough-and-tumble tomboy and coincidentally, my root and fashion icon (as a toddler).

On TV Team Roundtable: Just Some “Jane the Virgin” Petramos True Believers Over Here:

The GIPHY Award to Rous Rose (you MUST click through to see the entire gif! It is truly majestic):

On 58 Ways You Beautiful Lunatics Described Yourselves When Signing Up for A-Camp X:

On The “Riverdale” Musical Episode Just Got a Whole Lot Gayer With This Deleted Choni Scene:

The There Will Be Blood Award to Yvonne:

can confirm that mixing fake blood for your girlfriend’s carrie costume is queer culture, i’ve done it!

On Janelle Monáe Is Queer: Star Comes Out in Rolling Stone as Bisexual/Pansexual “Free-Ass Motherf*cker”:

The Janelle, Moaning Award to Abbie Yakyak:

1) My computer auto-corrects Janelle Monae to “Jangle Moan”. 2) I immediately starting crying when I read this, I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS RN.

And on Lesbian Visibility Day Roundtable: Carrying History, Worshipping Women, F*cking Up the Patriarchy:

The One Day At a Time Award to Bronwyn:

So though I frequently post lgbt content regularly, I’ve never full on come out on facebook, and am out to many but not all of the people in my life. I noticed it was lesbian visibility day yesterday, and did a post on facebook and instagram. Though I’ve had a very neutral response (noone has said anything since) it still did and continues to feel like a big deal. It’s a hard word to say.
