I’m curing an allergy attack with hot toddies, let’s recap this sucker!

A blast from the past.

I never had to think to myself, “where are the people that look like me?” because they were there, in abundance, everywhere I looked.

There were 128 queer lady characters on TV this year, if you can believe that. It’s a brand new world.

When the actual show is practically crackfic, you know the fan fiction is going to be out of this world.

A gender studies class, a shabbos dinner, and a whole lot of uncomfortable family dynamics!

We’ve got a genderqueer lead, an intersex teenager, multiple shows headlined by women of color, the first ever recurring lesbian woman of color character in a primetime network superhero series and SO MUCH MORE!

Turns out those irritating trailers were just Trojan Horses delivering a cute show with a queer female lead to all of us here on The Isle of Lesbos.

Is Willow’s insistence on identifying as gay, not bi, a biphobic or bi-erasing gesture? Or is she actually something separate, something more progressive and interesting than bi erasure – a strong, dynamic character whose sexual orientation is genuinely fluid?

“Let’s take a moment of silence for all of us women in the U.S. who did not know until this season that in Canada y’all throw axes for fun, and who are now contemplating crossing the border. I can’t be the only one whose world was rocked this hard by axe throwing.”

In which we get a dozen different emotions for the price of one.

Oh my god it’s the Glee season finale!! Did anything happen? I mean… kinda.

In which Santana doesn’t kiss any girls but she does wear a series of sexy outfits and boss everyone around while holding adorable puppies.

This week on Glee, Blaine ate a lot of cronuts and everybody got tested for STDs!

“From the preview, we just know that Haddie’s coming home for a visit, she brought Lauren with her, there’s something that she’s not ready to tell her family, and she and Lauren like to kiss.”

With how it played into the “But Not Too Bi” trope – bi characters who have a bias toward one gender or the other – The L Word flipped a common heterosexist script in media. But in doing so, it still excluded actual bi people from its world.

The good news is that Mercedes is back, the bad news is that Kurt got gay-bashed.

This week on Glee, “Funny Girl” opened and Santana came back!

Autostraddle’s television writers on their favorite lezalicious, bisexual, queer and trans* ladies on the 2013 teevee!

This week on Glee, Blaine and Kurt got a lot of face time with each other’s faces/feelings, and Rachel went a little Shosh on us.
