I hope Yellowjackets keeps teasing us, keeps planting “character Easter eggs” rather than plot ones, keeps revealing things that ultimately are easy to predict but difficult to swallow.

The show’s Halloween episode delivers horror, humor, queerness, and — most importantly — A CALIGULA SIGHTING.

What finally swung it for me was at the end of a recent episode when, out of nowhere, Dolly Parton appeared.

Wine, sex, violence, and music in the woods! The Yellowjackets go full Bacchanalia in the series’ trippy, psychosexual horror episode “Doomcoming.”

Also in our weekly LGBTQ+ TV round-up, updates on The Chi, All American, iCarly, Motherland: Fort Salem, and The Republic of Sarah!

“Through frank conversations with cross country mates and cheeky hints in coming-of-age films, I learned that masturbation is something people do to their vaginas with fingers, shower heads and (though I often doubted it) hairbrush handles. I intrinsically knew that what happened when I pressed my thighs together and held my breath was masturbation, too, but as my Encyclopedia of Wank expanded with no reflection of my own methods, it became clear that I was missing a fundamental element of jerking off.”

I think it’s very Cancer of me to watch Mary Lambert’s “She Keeps Me Warm” music video on Valentine’s Day just so I could feel my heart clench and cry a little.

How Well Do You Really Know Your Sex Bench? Take This Quiz to Find Out.

Last night, ten contenders for the Democratic nomination gathered in the First in the Nation caucus state for the LGBTQ Presidential Forum. Organized by One Iowa, The Gazette, The Advocate and GLAAD, the forum offered the most robust discussion of LGBT issues of the 2020 campaign thus far.

With Punkie Johnson, SNL just got 100% more lesbian, with a record breaking two (lol, yes TWO!) out lesbians in the cast at the same time.

“It’s a real mark of our collective queer delusion that everyone tries to forget how weird it is when serial roof marauder Piper Perabo climbs on top of her car to screech about wankers over the standstill of London traffic.”

Janelle Monáe and Tessa Thompson are baiting us for Democracy this Election Day… and I’m not mad at it? Also: Lots of good, thoughtful election reads that (mostly) won’t piss you off and concrete, actionable ways to distract yourself right now if you need it.

What do you do with your facial hair, how do you make friends in your 30’s, where is your motivation these days, how do you cope with your wife breaking things off, with an unhealthy friendship, with changes in your sexuality? The team answers these questions and so many more!

Yes. Niecy Nash got gay married. Love wins!!

We reflect on what the 2020 election says about America, what the ultraconservative majority in the Supreme Court has been up to, plus the pandemic and political situations unfolding around the globe.

Heather Hogan noticed that I had taken up permanent residence in the comments of “Boobs on Your Tube” every Friday, basically writing recaps of my own (I felt lost, Autostraddle was my port in the storm). Heather asked if I had ever considered writing about television as a career. She said, “We can pay you. Not as much as we’d like to, but we’ll find the money. Is that something you’d be into?”

I wrote back, “That is something that I would VERY MUCH be into! In fact, I hope it’s not too unprofessional to say that I would love it with all of my heart.”

Niecy Nash Says and Jessica Betts, Roxane Gay and Debbie Millman, and all your favorite grown-up gay love stories! Plus Canadian World Cup soccer star Quinn came out as transgender (congrats!!), and some ‘Pro-Sex, Anti-Fascist’ art to decorate your walls.

“People were always so impressed that you didn’t leave me, but your gift wasn’t staying — it was seeing. Most people don’t get to transition under the pansexual gaze of someone who loves them the way you loved me.”

Thomas: I remember hearing that there was a trans character named Max, and that he gave birth and that possibly he was inspired by my actions.
Riese: A hundred percent, he was inspired by you.
Carly: A thousand percent.

Being in your 30’s with no queer dating experience, packing a carry-on for a long-distance date, dealing with astrology if you don’t believe in it, and more!
