Batwoman’s girlfriend is coming to National City, another sneak peek of Finding Dory, queer comedians tell the most important jokes, white dudes continue to rule TV, and Bobby Brown says Whitney Houston was bi after all.

Also, Ellen Page is making short films about her dog, Amandla Stenberg is smoldering and Jiz Lee is taking us on a journey to the butch ballet.

Hey, Sarah Manning is bi! And so is Waverly on Wynonna Earp (she finally kissed Haught right on the mouth!). Also, Scream is back and Rosewood ended stupidly.

The lawsuit in response to the Obama administration’s guidelines on trans bathroom usage in schools, Desmond Tutu’s daughter can’t officiate as a priest after marrying her wife, backlash against the Safe Schools Coalition in Australia and more.

After winning Best Feature at the Queer Hippo International Film Festival, Brittani Nichols’ and Carly Usdin’s feature film is making its way around the country on the festival circuit.

This issue includes an out of this world playlist, a coloring page featuring Sally herself, a constellation by number and so much more!

What if Brittani Nichols decided to hold a baby bunny? What if Laura Jane Grace just happened to be inside a video game? What if Soko were posting about the single life?

“Put a rainbow on it”

“I dreamt I misplaced my pocketbook. When I turned around to retrieve it, I noticed a gay girl had run off with it.”

Mexico’s President is pushing for marriage equality, what happened at the Dem convention in Nevada, the first openly gay secretary of the US Army, and more.

A selection of queer erotica just for you.

Autostraddle has been around for SEVEN years, and we’ve been making playlists that whole damn time!
