The things that differentiated this gathering from a high school cafeteria were small: the thin kid wearing a parka inside who came up, bashful, for a full plate of food three times; the kids who wrapped up food in tin foil or took it away with them in to-go containers.”

“Where We Are On TV” has some promising and not-so-promising numbers for queer women on the teevee, and also raises some questions about how we quantify “representation” in the first place for all groups.

Behind-the-scenes pics from teevee shows with queer storylines, from “Ellen” to “Orange is the New Black” to “Buffy” to “Pretty Little Liars” to absolutely everything in between. You’re gonna love it, we promise.

Plus updates on Beacon 23, All American, the original gays of 9-1-1, and more!

Also a new Valkyrie deleted scene from The Marvels dropped today, Wynonna Earp writers are working on a new show starring Toni Topaz from Riverdale, and Lily Gladstone’s former high school classmates always knew that they’d win an Oscar.

The 2024 Golden Globe nominations are here and I have the deep urge to tell you who is even remotely gay. Luckily, I share that same obsession with many Autostraddle editors. There was a color coded google doc and everything.
