It was a year chock-full of iconic lesbian moments — the rise of Chappell Roan, a record-breaking WNBA season, Love Lies Bleeding — and amongst these moments were a variety of characters and performances — fictional ones and “real” ones — that emerged into the public consciousness and upon which we now, today, will gaze upon and determine which one is in fact YOU.

It’s not possible to pick the last image in the Generation Q question.

You’re wickedly talented and great at flying, dancing, hats and animal husbandry. In 2025 we will all be looking to the western sky whenever we care to find you and you will be right there, defying gravity, fighting for what’s right!

I got Elphaba! But just FYI her name is spelled incorrectly (“Elpheba”) in the answer.
every time somebody misspells my name (which happens in like 50% of the emails and communications i receive in my life) i think to myself “this is my punishment for being wholly unable to consistently correctly spell anybody else’s name, ever”
Cam from Under the Bridge; didn’t watch it but the description pleases me
Chappell Roan! hell yes
