The Comment Awards Are Floating on a Cloud of Gay Subtext

A small, brown and white dog peeking over their laptop screen, with a caption that says "Hey did you see that comment?!"

Good morning, muffins! How are your Decembers going? We are SO CLOSE to turning points in so many ways, right now — soon, the days will start to get longer again, as the vaccine rolls out! It’s narratively almost TOO perfect, but I feel like the writers of 2020 are trying to redeem themselves by giving us a little bit of hope to float through to the New Year on, and I’m here for it! Let’s all float on!

This week, Casey brought us all the best books of the year. My wishlist is so rich and full now!

Well, this is perfect! Taylor Swift’s “evermore” Songs, Ranked by Gay Subtext.

Kayla wrote up a holigay gift guide for the kitchen, and I NEED that dutch oven!

The TV team brought us all of their favorite episodes from this strange, long year.

If you’re an A+ member, the bonus content this month has been AMAZING — check out this fisting workshop that Malic lead!

Speaking of fisting, Shelli reviewed Best Lesbian Erotica Vol. 5.

And for something completely different, Dickens brought us my very favorite installment of Foolish Child to date! Oh, to be a baby dino, sliding down your mama dino’s tail.

And then there were your comments!


On Netflix’s “The Prom” Review: Broadway’s Favorite Teen Lesbians Warmed Our Unruly Hearts:

The Prom: Under the Sea Award to BettyOnIt:

My review is the same as my review of Ocean’s 8, I love it, I’m mad James Corden is in it and I’m horny for the Australian woman

On Disney Characters, Ranked by Bisexuality:

The Trans Rat Thing Award to Caitlin and Maria:

I want you to know this list has torn my house apart but also lead to roommate 1 and I realizing we had had conversations about the inherent queerness of ratatouille with other people, not each other, leading to me shouting “the trans rat thing!

On Which Happiest Season Character Are You? Quiz:

The It’s Not Me, It’s You Award to Sally:

Phew, I am Abby which is good in that it is not Harper. Ultimately I feel I learned way more about Riese’s personality in this process than my own.

On Holigay Gift Guide: For The Loved Ones You Want To Survive The Apocalypse:

The Fees Please Award to Elena:

What I love most about this list is if we follow the framing, you will still have to pay for entry/parking at National Parks even in the apocalypse.

On No Filter: Hayley Kiyoko in Nature, Listening to Sarah Mclachlan, Casually Leveling Up the Gay:

The Holy Ghost? Award to Kristana:

Hayley Kiyoko in Nature, Listening to Sarah Mclachlan, Casually Leveling Up the Gay

And on Foolish Child #86: Dinosaurs:

The Baby…DINO Award to thatottergirl:

Oof that punchline was so killer I feel like I’M the one who went extinct. Always here for queer dinosaur parent content!

And the Thank The Academy Award to Iarran Mé and Dickens:

Dickens, how does it feel to win all of parenting AND the internet on the same day?

  1. Foolish Child is always great, but this really was the queer dino content we all needed at the end of 2020. Dickensaurus.

  2. Yaay thank you to QG and Mathilde for the award, and to Dickens for a truly hilarious comic, and to the Jonathan Richman song “I’m a Little Dinosaur” because it seems appropriate and also why not?!
