Cara Delevingne was supposed to be campaigning for testicular health awareness but she couldn’t stop talking about other parts. She insists that every month you should cup your breasts and give them a good squeeze. I’d listen to the woman.

I love to dance. I have always loved to dance for as long as I can remember. When I was a youngin’, I had this very interesting food/dance ritual. During meals, I would take a bite of food, and if I liked it, I would break out in full dance around the table. Bite. Dance. Bite. Dance. Bite. Dance. Repeat. My love for dance continued into my adult life and still…

Kacey Musgraves’ Queer Country Anthem “Follow Your Arrow” Wins Song of the Year at the CMAs!
Remember last January when Kacey Musgraves moseyed into our lives with a super kitschy and super cute performance of her totally You Do You themed song “Follow Your Arrow” at the Grammys? Remember when we all found out that we had this cool, cute, feminist, anti slut-shaming, anti fat-shaming, pro-pot (if that’s what you’re into) and totally queer-friendly country singer right in our own back…

This time, white New Yorker Shoshana B. Roberts teamed up with video editor Rob Blissand anti-street harassment organization Hollaback! to make a video depicting a…

I think if you ask just about any trans person what they fear the most, they’ll probably tell you that it’s violence. While the everyday worries of harassment alnd discrimination are probably more constant worries, the cold hard fact that I’m at much higher risk for violence simple by virtue of my gender identity is something that has weighed on me since I first…

Lots Of Straight Girls Wanna Have Lesbian Sex, Yet Another Study Shows
As any lesbian who’s been repeatedly asked to serve as a human chemistry set for a straight woman seeking her first lesbian sexual experience can tell you, “not being gay” and “wanting gay sex” are hardly exclusive qualities. There’s even an entire book about it — Jen Sincero’s 2005 The Straight Girl’s Guide To Sleeping with Chicks, which tells straight women that ladysex “allows us to break free…

Apocalypse Now? Democrats Get Wrecked in the 2014 Midterm Elections
Last night’s midterm election results were weird. Not because the pendulum of Congressional control swung back to the Republican Party; the tick-tock cycle of midterm power shifts been the standard in the United States for decades. Not because Senator Mitch McConnell refused to answer the phone when President Obama called to congratulate him on his landslide reelection victory. Not even because K…

Fool’s Journey: I Can’t Find The Words

What should I do differently while conversing with people? You see, I can take people’s feelings into consideration and I’m a great listener. I yearn to let people in, yet I struggle with my trust issues. It’s difficult for me to keep a…
