“For all the harm popularly associated with online anonymity, anonymity can often be the only shield allowing LGBTQ folk to safely exist online.”

This year was marked with so much bad – it throws the beautiful and the light into starker relief.

River Song and Thirteen sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Also let’s talk about: That Wrinkle in Time trailer, Wonder Woman’s continued domination at the box office, and American Horror Story: Bees.

We’re also checking in on Queen Sugar, How to Get Away With Murder, and Grey’s Anatomy!

Vote for your favorites and then join us for our Emmys liveblog on Sunday night!

Also: Jen Richards and Angelica Ross join Laverne Cox on Doubt, Queen Sugar keeps getting it right, and Josh sleeps with Maggie’s straight girl on Younger.

“a new column called The Thrifty Tomboy and i talk about costco for 1,200 words
per day”

We’re having a great time in here!!!

We’ve got tennis sex, Antiope, and the quantum-physics of Kristen Stewart’s wardrobe – it’s the Comment Awards!

Camille gets a kind of girlfriend on Stitchers, Maggie’s got her eyes on a barista on Younger, and The Bold Type kicks off with a lesbian subplot and a welcome dive into Feminism 101.

Plus, American Horror Story is covered in S.C.U.M., The Shannara Chronicles has bedazzled eyebrows, and more queer lady TV updates!

Hannah Hart’s hot buttery croissants and big announcement, Madrid World Pride was beautiful, Mormon founder of Mama Dragons, trans and queer Asian visibility, Jameka Evans is petitioning SCOTUS, housing for LGBTQ seniors, and more delicious links!

Everyone on staff tells me WITHOUT LOOKING where they think the lesbian toaster thing came from.

Sometimes living with other people, even loved ones, can prevent you from doing the things your heart really wants — like being completely naked in your living room or kitchen, for example.

Little help?

Unlike Orange Is the New Black, Queen Sugar’s approach to Black Lives Matter storytelling works because it doesn’t resort to excessive violence or torture porn to make its point.

What are these times in which we live?!

Plus Chantal is back for a minute on Queen Sugar, lesbian orgasms abound on Grey’s Anatomy, and Annalise gets the upper hand on her therapist in exactly one session on HTGAWM.

Whether your first girl crush was on Kim Possible (or Shego), Vanessa Hudgens, Raven Symone, the girl from Motocrossed or Demi Lovato, we all remember these movies as having way more queer lady content than Disney probably ever intended to put in there.

“I am struck that in its second season Queen Sugar has broken open the myth, often accepted as truth, that black women must endure all of their community’s burdens.”
