Don’t know what to get your girlfriend for Valentine’s Day? If she loves Autostraddle as much as you do, we know exactly what she’s looking for.
Since the show, my dad has done a complete 180. He’s been so supportive. He has watched every episode and shared his feelings along the way. I really do thank him for being the motivation to go on the show. That was what really pushed me to say yes. I wanted to do it for myself. It wasn’t about winning or competing; it was about pushing myself and trying to show my family that I could do it.
Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson were on Say Yes to the Dress and it was amazing. Here’s the recap!
This is not just a political issue. It is a biblical issue. And as a biblical issue — unless I get a new version of the scriptures, it’s really not my place to say, OK, I’m just going to evolve. It’s like asking someone who’s Jewish to start serving bacon-wrapped shrimp in their deli. We don’t want to do that — I mean, we’re not going to do that. Or like asking a Muslim to serve up something that is offensive to him, or to have dogs in his backyard.
There’s enough internet for everyone. We can move in and take up a queer space and make it our own, and (here’s the crazy part), we don’t have to do it at the expense of any other group’s space. Fucking nuts, right?
It was really important to me that the show didn’t objectify me. I said to Ione, ‘I am not your court jester.’ And I mean it.
I’m a little late to the party, but I just found out that my fic Truth Or Dare I Say It was featured on Autostraddle’s Fan Fiction Friday back in December (and back before I changed my username on AO3 to Puntrest). Excuse me while I freak out over the fact that Heather Hogan has read my smut.
Kitty just doesn’t want to have her heart broken again by glee club. (Join that club, Kitty; we’re ten million members strong!)
