Kristen Stewart Blesses Us With the Super-Gay, Hyper-Sexualized Cover Story Of Her Own Wet Dreams

Kristen Stewart does chin-ups, wears merely a jock strap and talks to Rolling Stone about playing the dykey character you want to f*ck, spicing up her SNL monologue, getting pregnant with Dylan Meyer, her gender presentation, wanting to be ‘normal and hot’ as a pre-teen and so much more. Really, TRULY, so much more!

The Godzilla Valentine’s Day Comic Book Special Is a Sweet Sapphic Story of Love and Compromise

Written by trans lesbian comic book writer Zoe Tunnell, the Godzilla Valentine’s Day Special tells the story of Piper, a queer woman who decides to become a kaiju researcher after surviving an attack on Godzilla. It’s sapphic and gay as hell and I love it.
