“[I’m inspired to write by] the human condition. It is quite amazing how similar we all are having all come from completely different backgrounds. Everyone loves. Everyone hurts. Everyone wants to be accepted. Everyone wants. to. be. heard. I am inspired by the stories I watch unfold in my life and in the lives of the people around me.” (via autostraddle)
Celisse Henderson
via almost famous: “Celisse Henderson is a queer Californian-born, New York-based singer/songwriter and actress who makes those of us who play less than five instruments look bad. Her decade-long career spans from television to concert halls and all the way to the Broadway stage. And with that voice it’s not at all surprising that she’s in such high demand. Celisse’s brand-new album, Celisse LIVE @ Rockwood Music Hall is now available on iTunes for your listening pleasure.”

64. Michelle Chamuel, Singer & TV Personality, “The Voice” (Amherst, MA)
“The Voice is an incredible opportunity, especially for those who fit in and partner with a label; huge things are possible in that respect. But I’m different, I guess, in that way. I love being independent, and I’ve always been independent, so maybe I’m gonna say no to certain opportunities. And that’s OK. Because being indie means I’m the CEO, I’m the boss, I’m the manager.” (via rolling stone)
Jewish 27-year-old musician Michelle Chamuel was the lead singer of the Ann Arbor, Michigan-based band Ella Riot (formerly known as My Dead Disco) for four years, but became known to the public-at-large this year when she was the runner-up on The Voice. Chamuel is a bit of a child prodigy — she picked up piano and violin as a small child, started singing and composing in seventh grade, and produced her first full-length CD during her senior year of high school. She graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Performing Arts Technology, which is where she met her My Dear Disco bandmates. She once told AfterEllen that the television show Skins “is brilliant like a pop song.”
63. Nirvana Savoury, Musician (US)
“It’s kind of funny, looking back. I can see certain things that I just didn’t necessarily want to entertain as a thought. I’ve always appreciated women, ever since I was a little girl. I mean I think all women look at other women, whether gay, bi, straight or open — because women are just beautiful. It just is what it is! We come in all shapes, sizes, colors, it’s just part of nature. So I’ve always appreciated beautiful women; I’ve just always chalked it up to that. But then when I really took a look at myself and tried to understand myself and going from moment to moment, rather than focusing on where I wanted to be with my career in the future, it’s just something that I had to face. It was just like, “Woah! Wow, OK this is really real!” (via afterellen)
Nirvana started out in the Canadian girl group X-Quisite in the early ’00s and you might recognize her 2009 single, “Lipstick Lover.”
62. Denise Ho, Cantopop Singer & Actress (Hong Kong)
“As a celebrity, I think I have an obligation, a duty to stand forward for the sake of love and equality.” (via the hufffington post)
Denise Ho is the first mainstream female singer in Hong Kong to come out of the closet, and her announcement was followed shortly by a Best Actress Nomination from The 49th Annual Golden Horse Awards for her movie “Life Without Principle.” She’s well-known for her androgynous style.
61. Monique Wilson, Actress
Born Monica Anne Esteva Wilson in Manilla, this Filipina stage actress has a successful recording career and came out in part because of her diagnosis with chronic blood cancer. She recently spoke out about stopping violence against women.

STANDING OVATION.
Now excuse me, I have some hotness to peruse.
ahhh. this.
i’m stoked to see so many rad Australians on here!
“OH MY GOD WHAT IF SHE RETURNED TO GLEE AND DATED SANTANA OR SOMETHING” If Charice returned to Glee and dated Santana I would finally watch it, that’s what!
Excellent list! So many amazing women. <3
I am so excited to peruse through all these beautiful ladies’ websites when I find a few hours to spare! In the meantime, Vicci Martinez and De’Borah….yay!!!
All the way! Vicci Martinez is cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!
Mal Blum is such a friggin dreamboat. Pardon me while I sigh heavily and listen to Tempest in a Teacup for the kajillion and eighty-second time and have feelings. :3
OMG so Jenny Lee Lindberg is probably my NO.1 CELEBRITY CRUSH OF ALL TIME and as such I am stoked that she is on this list but my undying love for her also means that I have watched/read anything I find ever which refers to her or warpaint in any way, and I have never seen anything to suggest that she likes women. Apart from joking about being in love with Stella. God knows I wish it wasn’t the case but as far as I know she’s never come out or been in a relationship with a woman, so she probably shouldn’t be on here :(
idk have I missed something? PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME I’VE MISSED SOMETHING
also YAY I voted for Julie Mehretu and Crystal Gwyn and they are both supercool and supersexy and I think this list beats the other list hands down, I mean just look at them (and read about all the awesome things they do)
this. i have been ladybonering all over JLL for a year or two and though i have googled all the things, i cant find any definite info on non-straightness. GAY ZEUS BLESS US PLEASE!? otherwise i am not sure the validity of her being on there (at least at this point in time) -_-
Jenny Lee(along with her sister Shannyn) definitely try to keep a SUPER low profile when it comes to their personal life. She is definitely not out as gay but she is definitely not “straight”…she doesn’t discriminate when it comes to her intimate relationships:)
WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR INFORMATION FROM? if you have a link i will love you forever
YES.
Soooo excited to see Susan Allen, Michelle Chamuel, Shawnee SheKing, and Lauren Zuniga make these pages. The whole lot of them are ridiculously fantastic gods. And I *would* be excited about Angel Haze because I’ve been listening to her EP New York on repeat but I always sideeye the shit out of people who list the ambiguous “Native American” as part of their heritage, which lots of white and black people have a tendency to do as a weird sort of appropriation. She is apparently a self-taught speaker of Tsalagi, though, so that’s interesting to me, as an Eastern Band Cherokee person taking online classes from my tribe.
And oh. my. god. CHARICE!
Hot. Damn.
Opera singing queer ladies, I wanna die. I’m not even past the first page of this list yet.
I know, I think my heart stopped right there, too.
OMG Divine Maitland-Smith is HAWT you guys. She was so cute when she was in the Big Brother house and OUT-spoken, too. And Charice, wowza! Filipinas represent! (Monique Wilson, too, timeless beauty / talent!)
I love this list – very diverse and a lot of new and very cool people to know / ‘ship / tumblr about / follow / have a crush on! Especially the soccer players, raaar! LOL! ^___^
Do you know what I like about this list? For the other Hot 100, I mostly just scrolled through and nodded when I saw someone I recognized, occasionally stopping to read something of interest. This time, I actually get to sit down with my iced tea and dogs and learn about 105 almost all totally new to me “hotties”.
As usual, AS has listened to their readers and found a response that I think is totally respectful of many of the criticisms, but is still unique and total true to their style.
<3 you guys and stuff.
YAY. I LOVE this list. I saw a lot of really under the radar people I was hoping to have seen in the first one–like Nicole Albino (!!!) and Erica Linder (!!). There was still an additional three I was shoping to see though but I guess that’s what happens when you don’t vote…!: Devyn Arrey Galindo (assistant photographer at Nasty Gal), Taschka Turnquist who is a photographer specialising in super beautiful androgynous ladies, and Superkelow who’s a rapper and is just like ~the effin’ cutest. Gah.
Omg, I didn’t realize how amazing this list would be. Like, I knew it would be amazing but I didn’t know the degree to which it would amaze? Does that make sense? This list is everything.
I can’t even process on how amazing this list is. MY BRAIN BROKE BECAUSE THIS LIST IS INDEED EVERYTHING!
Yup. Whatever formula was used to create this list is THE formula.
Jessica Landstrom, oh my GOD.
That is to say: Great list!
I will forever have the biggest crush on Sasha Mallory omg. She is basically my dream woman.
I’m so happy to see Tracy Chapman on the list. She’s my favorite singer, she has the most powerful voice I’ve ever listened to and her songs are so powerful. I can’t even start to explain how hot I think she is.
I remember when I was like 14 and I heard Fast Car for the first time. I died a little.
Yes
Not gonna lie, got as far as Tracy Chapman and immediately put on Fast Car while reading the rest of the list. #loveher
Great job, team! These people are way more fascinating than the other list, seriously. Maybe do it this way forever? List the top 100 but do a feature on everyone else who needs more exposure.
Wow, people I know! And you took my suggestion! YAY :D
yes it was such a good suggestion!!
Holy shit, Hayley Mary, love of my life. I was just blown away by her inclusion on this list. Autostraddle is the best.
DIVINE <3 <3 <3
LAUREN ZUNIGA, YES. <3
So many new people for me to “research”. Thanks!
Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but is Ashlyn Harris publicly out? As far as I’m aware she’s pretty private about her personal life and hasn’t made any statements one way or the other about liking girls.
Yeah, I haven’t read or heard anything about her coming out publicly. I guess I could have missed it but I’m a huge WNT fan so I doubt it. The only thing I do know is that some players on the team choose to be more private about their personal lives and who they are dating. Ashlyn might be one of them.
High five from one WNT fan to another!
Hi 5 person with excellent taste.
I’m fairly certain if Ashlyn had ever publicly come out fandom would have had a nuclear meltdown which is why I don’t think she’s ever said. Not that I think she would object to being on this list but if she chooses not to be out I don’t think we should act like she is.
I’m a huge fan of hers too. I didn’t think she ever came out publicly… but a girl can dream right??
Yeah, I am sure Ashlyn has never come out so she probably shouldn’t be on here. And Abby was on the hot 100 which squicked me out a bit because I think she has been very purposeful about not talking about her personal life.
There are some awesome out players not on this list or the hot 100 though!
-PIA!! Sundhage is out and proud and the most amazing coach ever – formerly of the USWNT, now the SweWNT. Helped the USWNT recover from the disaster that was Greg Ryan. One of the greatest players to ever play for the SweWNT. A+ singer. Never wears a bra.
-Lianne Sanderson: Former member of the EngWNT, current member of the Boston Breakers, Joanna Lohman’s partner and cofounder of JoLi Academy. All-around hottie.
-Inka Grings: Former GerWNT, currently playing for Chicago Red Stars. Was involved in a high profile love triangle with one of her German teammates and a former GerMNT player.
-Sarah Walsh: Former AusWNT captain, Megan Rapinoe’s girlfriend, host of a new web series about Australian women’s football, and MAJAH HOTTIE
-Casey Stoney: EngWNT captain, very outspoken about being gay. Most beautiful smile award in my heart.
There are also quite a few out ladies on some of the nordic teams but I don’t know them all. You can watch them and other european teams in the Euros 2013 the next few weeks! This blog posts links to livestreams, videos about the teams, and interviews: http://womenseurofootball.tumblr.com/
And of course since women’s football is the gayest sport ever, there are dozens of players “assumed” queer (like Ashlyn and Abby) that have not spoken publicly about it.
General comment: This alternative list is so amazing, thank you to the AS staff for taking the time to put this together! It’s really really appreciated.
While she has never made any statements one way or another, she has been vocally (on twitter and instagram) in favor of gay rights, in the same way that Megan Rapinoe always was before she officially came out. For example, she posted a picture of her wearing one of the Nike Be True shirts. It may be a stretch to call her out, but she certainly isn’t afraid of gay-friendly media.
Plus that bowtie love.
Mae Martin and Kristen Russo <3. I'm the worst: I'm from Chile and had no idea Javiera Mena was a lesbian. Her music is so bad tho hahaha
YES THANK YOU! Amazing list!
Just one quick thing – #46, the rapper is Dizzy Wright, not Weight.
BUT SERIOUSLY amazing list and can’t wait to discover all the lovely ladies on this list I don’t know yet!
Edited. Good catch. Thank you!
And yes!! I totally agree. Awesome list!
i’m just… i’m feeling really “gotta catch ’em all” right now
pickandchoose
that comment was super effective
If I can add one of my own :
Phoenix Arn-Horn from a Canadian band called Courage My Love. She’s a drummer, she’s a singer and she’s adorable.
OMG I have 105 new crushes. Yikes!
Love seeing Fallon Fox and Joanna Lohman on the list. If you have Joanna Lohman you can’t leave out Lianne Sanderson, they’re partners and they both play for the Boston Breakers and they’re adorable.
So before I clicked on this I went to reread Lori Lindsey’s interview because she’s awesome, DUH! But I’ve been on a women’s soccer kick (haha) lately and it’s lame but I just found out about Ashlyn from following Lori Lindsey on instagram and I was like “who is that girl! wow!”
And while I was reading through this I had another window open with an Ashlyn Harris interview. Haha.
So this comment is mildly awkward. Whatever.
Great, great, excellent list!!! I’m cracking up now. I am way too easily amused.
And now I feel bad because if I actually knew about women’s soccer I would have known about her before this week. I’ll get on it.
Stephanie, this is a really just a general comment about Ashlyn Harris–I’m just replying to your comment to keep the soccer talk together. Also, I hope you’ll continue with your soccer kick! (haha)
Ok, so I’m being just a teensy bit nit-picky here, but technically Ashlyn Harris is only one of the possible goalkeepers for the USWNT. Hope Solo is almost always the starting keeper, followed by Nicole Barnhart, followed by Jill Loyden. Ashlyn has been in the player pool for years, but only recently received her first cap (meaning she played a game) for the USWNT. Being a goalie is tough-you’re always fighting for one possible spot that is rarely subbed out during games.
However, none of this is to diminish her goal-keeping abilities. All four of those keepers are excellent and three of those four are queer. Speaking of queer, I’m surprised to not see Ali Krieger on here! She and Ashlyn are a couple and both currently play for the Washington Spirit, along with Lori Lindsey. Here’s a great photo of them at pride this year (from Lori Lindsey’s twitter). http://instagram.com/p/aZem2wLsZc/#

Seriously, look at the photo.
I edited this because, as people noted above, it’s completely true that Megan Rapinoe and Lori Lindsey are the only USWNT team players who are officially out. So me saying “three of four” reflects popular speculation, to just be completely clear. That said, until recently, Jill Loyden was living in the same city as me with her (now ex) girlfriend. I know this because Jill and I have mutual friends, one of whom was charged with selling all of Jill’s old furniture when she moved back to NJ to play for Sky Blue. Some of the furniture had come from the apartment that Jill used to share with Abby Wambach-swoon!
Also, Megan Rapinoe’s comment on the photo made me laugh at loud. I don’t use twitter but periodically I check out the two of them because they’re hilarious.
Thank you for all the information!!! I love it. And yes, her comment is golden! “One is just missing!” That’s how I feel when my friends go out without me.
Yeah Michelle! My Dear Disco 4 evaaa
Seriously though y’all if you haven’t heard MDD/Ella Riot/thereverbjunkie, get on it.
Which is also to say, #edit: it’s Dear, not Dead. Ahem.
And +elebenty to everything. Thank you mum for getting me hooked on The Voice, because Michelle. NNNNNNF. So good.
Did you guys know that Tracy Chapman dated Alice Walker?! Because I’m listening to Julie Klausner’s podcast and just learned that and then I thought, “Who can I tell this new tidbit to?” And obviously I thought of y’all.
OMG WOW. Did not know that.
Holy mother of — thank you.
Oh my stars.
I’ll be in my bunk.
SO MUCH HOTNESS. I’m melting!
WHY IS TODAY SO WONDERFUL
I love this list so much, it’s such a breath of fresh air from always hearing about the same white cis queer women (who are mostly great, but y’know there are other awesome queer people in this world than Rachel Maddow.)
I’m also really happy to see Angel Haze on the list, she is underrated and and extremely talented as a lyricist and rapper. I would suggest a few changes/additions to the bio though, such as the fact that she is pansexual and was studying neuroscience at Penn State before she decided to go into music instead. She’s definitely done much more than get into twitter wars with Azealia Banks!
Other than that, I’m excited to have about 100 new crushes, thanks so much for this list!
I love Angel Haze and I’m thinking she’s about to blow up big time. One of her songs is featured in “The Heat.” I freaked out when I heard it. I hope this means good things for her (not that I freaked out, but that it was in that movie).
Rockstardomness!! I love this list. Missing some norwegian ladies tho. Check out Gro Hammerseng and Anja Edin. oomnomnom.
AWESOME
ugh Erika Linder is so hot it kind of makes me want to die.
also EVERYONE ON THIS LIST jesus christ.
Is she the lovechild of KStew and Leonardo Dicaprio? I think so!
Judith Butler! Help me with my thesis!
That brain so sexy.
DAT MIND.
IS JENNY LEE LINDBERG GAY?! IS THIS REAL LIFE?! DON’T YOU TOY WITH MY FEELINGS, AUTOSTRADDLE!!!
AUTOSTRADDLE, KEEP GIVING ME MORE REASONS TO BE OBSESSED WITH YOU. This list is flawless.
awesome list, but one suggestion: Bonnie Thunders, a roller derby goddess based in NYC. She’s worthy of this list!
May i suggest 2 more names for your list
Maartje Paumen and Carlien Dirkse van den Heuvel.
Players from the gold winning olympic field hockey team from the Netherlands. At the time of the games they were still a couple,and both scored the goals that decided the final.
Maartje Paumen won her second gold medal in London,and was also voted best player in the world for the last two years. Both are out and a role model for alot of gay girls in the Netherlands.
Here are both of them doing an interview on being out in sports
I forgot to say,they are on there with another out player Marylinn Agliotti. They are the two on the left
SO NO ONE VOTED FOR KREAYSHAWN
YET TWO PEOPLE VOTED FOR KE$HA
so so SO much hotness but how is Staceyann Chin not on this list.
because she’s on the original hot 100!
This list is so fucking perfection itself. I just want to make love with all of them.
#26. Be Steadwell (B. steady) is sooooo amazing and adorable. Stop what you’re doing and listen to this like right now!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdR5n-H4450 .Also, I love Mae Martin. Who wants to go with me to the UK to see one of her shows?
I would if i were over there! im watching her stuff on yt and she is very very funny. also very very hot
So happy now to know that the lead singer of The Jezabels is queer *swoon*
But WHEEEREEE is Bonnie Thunders and/or her girlfriend, OMG WTF (for the record–I’m not expressing discontent, her girlfriend’s name is OMG WTF)?!?! They play roller derby for the Gotham Girls and are both serious, serious BADASSES.
Here’s a picture, y’all. For reference.
This list is AMAZING. I love Tylan from Girlyman!!
Oh my gosh, Zanele Muholi does amazing photography work!
This list is incredible. Also, I’m adding Aussie singer Mojo Juju as number 106. :)
I’m so excited that Kristen Stone made this list! She is a fabulous, smart, sexy human being and she should work for Autostraddle ;) personal opinion – her writing rocks my socks off!
No, for real, Domestication Handbook. So beautiful and sometimes achy. And that’s a compliment.
thank you thank you thank you. this was a wonderful idea.
all the biceps.
Yasss! Charice on #1 spot, young but yet so courageos plus the voice beautiful. Fantastic list, thanks :)
This is all I never knew I needed
Guh.
IMO this list is even hotter than the hot 100, plus it addresses some of the problems wrt race that people pointed out in the comments section of the hot 100 which is aaaawwwwwesome.
Also: “The paradigm of gay liberation and emancipation has produced all sorts of troubling narratives: about the greater homophobia of immigrant communities and communities of color, about the stricter family values and mores in these communities, about a certain prerequisite migration from home, about coming-out teleologies… Queerness here is the modality through which ‘freedom from norms’ becomes a regulatory queer ideal that demarcates the ideal queer.” YESSSS
Also GLORIA BIGELOW IS A FUCKING RAY OF SUNSHINE i like her.
#85 is my favesies
imogen! having met her in person, she is indeed super hot, y’all. and so friggin’ rad. i would say it’s a nice surprise to see her on here, but it’s not surprising that she’s on here, i just didn’t know she’d be on the list before it happened.
so i guess what i’m saying is i can’t predict the future and imogen is hot.
gah, everytime i read about charice’s coming out it makes me wanna tear up. i’m so proud of her!! :’)
this is a headliner in my country! the local radio stations, tv talk shows and basically everybody now knows your site because you made charice #1 in your list. it’ll be cool, if you can ask charice for an intervew since she will be going in l.a this month.
i woke up and jumped off of my bed when i heard the word AUTOSTRADDLE being mentioned on tv.
i was like “what the f!!!!”
when the video gets uploaded from that particular show where your site got mentioned. i will post the link here so you will know i ain’t lying when i say AUTOSTRADDLE is now FAMOUS in the philippines.
It’s taking me forever to read this but I’m so happy about it! I see a lot of people I’ve been fawning over since forever (like Gloria Bigelow) and that is giving me all kinds of warm and tingly feelings. I’m also happy to see more women of color on this list than the last one!
Now I have about 100 more women to obsess over. Thanks autostraddle. :)
Joanna Lohman, Lianne Sanderson and Lauren Zeniga. Oh my my my so many feelings. Damn good looking ladies.
here was the link i’m telling you about but i promise there
are at least 4 other local tv talk shows that mentioned your site.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A0KV9QZrK0
autostraddle is also in our newspapers.

http://www.tempo.com.ph/2013/07/charice-thrilled-at-being-named-hottest-lesbian/
also if you have the time. watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7KpN9IrqAU
charice guested on gandang gabi vice (the host is also gay)
she was asked to say something to her girlfriend and she said i’ll just say it through a song. her eyes was closed while singing and the host asked her why. she just said she likes to imagine FOREVER when she sings.
i just want to add that saying “struggling with her family” is an understatement. her mom and brother is not feeling her at all. charice needs all the love she can get. if you can actually interview her, please give her some advice. she needs it too. i just fell in love with you autostraddle. thanks! more power to your amazing website.
Amazing list! Can I send a photo of my partner?(she looks like Mae Martin) LOL
I totally missed this when it was first published. It’s so exciting to read about so many new people. I can’t wait to cast my votes for next year’s hot 100 and finally vote for the people I never thought there was any point in voting for :D!!!!
Thank you AS
jessica landstrom *_* so damn good looking
I don’t get it… Models, feminists, actors, soccer players, musicians… Where are the economists? Climate modelers? Mathematicians? People who had to pass math class? Most of these profiles read like a queer studies adaptation of “the emperors new clothes”. Maybe they were all in the hot 100 – I missed that one.
Congrats Autostraddle. After years of social media resistance, I just created a twitter account so that I can keep up with half of the ladies on this list. They just sound (OK, and the looks don’t hurt) too good to loose to the internet short term memory black hole. *I shake my fist at you* And, also, thank you.
