Listling Without Commentary: 29 Excerpts From 1-Star Reviews Of Lesbian Bars

Lesbian bars: the first place you found community, the first place you found hostility. They play that song you love and then they play that song you hate.

Boob(s on Your Tube): Lesbian Moms on Red Band Society, Tired Stereotypes on Marry Me

Hi, neighbor. Welcome back to Boob(s on Your) Tube, your weekly round-up of all the queer stuff on TV. Please forgive me for the lateness of this batch of recaps.

15 Things You Learn When You Move In With Your Girlfriend

There comes a point in every relationship when it makes sense for you to think about cohabitation. If you’re like most gaydies, within a few months of hooking up with a cutie, your toothbrush and spare underwear has slowly migrated to their apartment, and after all the nights of splitting Thai food and swearing their mattress is so much comfier than yours, you might as well throw in the towel and…

Mel B Says She Was A Lesbian “For A Few Years,” That’s Not How Any Of This Works

Perhaps you, like me, came of age in the mid-90’s, when The Spice Girlsruled the charts. They were bastions of feminism for very young girls, clomping around in huge platform shoes, posing cheekily for photos all around the world and declaring that the only thing the world truly needed was a healthy dose of girl power.
