Story #6 titled “Honeymoon” is very gay. Not with a Disney-style exclusively gay moment, but with some actual textual ‘Le mot L’ dyke drama.

In which we talk for a weirdly long time about who does laundry but also Yellowjackets, why a punk cover of “Mambo Italiano” is “our song,” and our sex drives.

Both light and heavy, dark and redeeming, this book is sure to be a comfort and resource for many, as we try to bridge the growing gap between “coastal elites” and “flyover states.”

According to the Victory Institute, there are 843 LGBTQ+ elected officials nationwide. But there’s so much more to us than just the numbers. Here’s your 2020 Voting Guide with every LGBTQ woman and non-binary person running for federal offices or seats in state legislatures, plus the statewide ballot measures we don’t want you to miss!

“I used to joke that it’s the song I want to get married to. And maybe I’m not joking.”

“At the start of every year, I feel an itch to plan and make vision boards and examine my life and my goals. I knew one thing on my 2018 to-do list was certain and it was getting married and having a wedding.”

Sara Ramirez and Indya Moore on bisexuality, Miss Major has a message, the Dallas Diocese of the Episcopal Church will finally start marrying same-sex couples, Kansas’ new governor reinstates protections for LGBTQ state employees, the best signs from the 2019 Women’s March, and more!

The couple originally announced their marriage just two months ago. Today is sad.

Looking for children’s books with queer moms, binding as a cis woman, communications issues in relationships, and more!

I can confirm that no matter what you’re looking for — YA, non-fiction, memoir, romance, literary fiction, comics, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, poetry — there are queer and feminist books on this list that you will love!

As I quickly learned from the jump, when two queer Latinas are trying to get married — something that sometimes feels like is unheard of — there’ll be some bumps in the road. 

I don’t want to be caught parading around in last generation’s false sense of security. I’m kicking off Autostraddle’s first Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) Heritage month by exploring the values my own South Asian and Japanese American parents and grandparents imparted to me, to learn to carry them forward.

“I watched it all in one night, vacillating from helpless laughter (Olivia Coleman’s line readings!!!) to shocked surprise (“Where did you just go?”) and when it was over I sent profanity littered texts about it to one of my best friends, then watched the entire season again.”

“For all of our joint bank accounts and shared wardrobes, for all our talk of travel and home loans, of potential babies – she was right, it was just a piece of paper, easily crumpled and lost with no consequence.”

The actual scope of SCOTUS’ ruling is small, but the symbolic loss for LGBTQ people is pretty big.
