By the first time I spent the night with a girl in bed, I knew who I was and I was comfortable being an intersex person. I’d also learned some things — a LOT of things — about feminism, sex and gender theory…I no longer felt like all my identities had to match up in one of two pre-approved ways. When I started identifying as gay, I was at a point in my life where, with my newfound politics, I saw no contradiction between being gay and being intersex. I still don’t. I could totally be an intersex lesbian if I said I was, right?

Yeah.

The thing to remember is that you’re allowed to seek and have the sex you want. You are allowed to choose your partners, choose to be celibate, choose to be slutty, choose to be monogamous, and choose to have sex solo or in groups. You get to have consensual sex when you want, as often as you want, with whomever you want. That is your right as a human in this world.
Allison Moon in Girl Sex 101, quoted in 9 Sex-Life-Changing Tips From “Girl Sex 101” at Autostraddle. (via carolynyates)

The show Courthouse ran for one season in 1995 on CBS. Jenifer Lewis played Juvenile Judge Rosetta Reide and Cree Summer played Danni Gates, Rosetta’s housekeeper and lover. They were the first recurring black lesbian characters on TV, but the roles were asked to be toned down for broadcast. The show was cancelled after 11 episodes. Gina Prince-Bythewood was one of the writers.

I tend to analyze all queer media by wondering what it would have meant to me to have access to it when I was beginning my own (very, very long) journey toward embracing my sexuality. Would it have helped me accept my desires? Would it have helped me come out? Would it have comforted me in my isolation in rural America? Would it have given me hope? A way to reconcile my faith with my queerness? Would it have equipped me with the language I needed? Bolstered my bravery?

Carol is the very first piece of queer art I’m glad I didn’t engage with before right now, with all my lived experience tucked in my pocket, and years and years of doing this job under my belt.
