Pretty Little Liars Episode 420 Recap: Free Fall, Expensive Pills
Hello and welcome to the newest installment of Teen Girl Squad! Let’s go get ready to look SO GOOD. Word!
We begin, very much like we did in the last episode, in Ezra’s classroom. Except this time Spencer is asleep, lying on the diary. Barefoot and in pajamas, even. She looks terrified as Ezra…
This is so dumb but I’m freaking out.
There is finally an Autostraddle meetup in Cincinnati tomorrow night. I’ve been planning on going since I found out. The anxiety of it is getting to me though. I don’t know anyone who will be there, and though we all share a love for Autostraddle… I’m...
You should go!!
Ellen Page said she’d been scared to reveal her truth, and way too many people responded with, ”In other news, the sky is blue.” The fact that so many felt comfortable being that rude to someone who’d just publicly shared a private struggle speaks volumes about how important they consider the issues of gay women to be. We should be wary of these people. People like them are why so many believe this country is post-racial or post-feminist when this country is racist as fuck and hates women.
“The Fosters” Episode 116 Recap: Brandon and His Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Judgement
The episode opens with sunny skies and I think this means something, like maybe all the darkness of the previous episodes is lifting or Spring is coming and my kids’ school will remain open for five days a week for a change. It’s Callie’s last group at Girls United and Rita wants all the girls to tell Callie what they learned from her and, during this entire scene that suggests deep connection…
10 Novels & Memoirs By and About Black Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer Women
It’s Black History Month, which means there’s no better time to read some lady-loving books by lady-loving black women — or, rather, to add a bunch of those books to a list of books you need to read and then go ahead read them over the span of whatever time period feels comfortable to you. Now, there are heaps of black LGBQ women renowned for their poetry (e.g., Pat Parker, Cheryl Clarke) or for…

NFL Teams Might Be Less Homophobic Than You Think
Michael Sam, the SEC defensive player of the year, All-American defensive end and NFL prospect made headlines around the country and around the world when he came out almost two weeks ago. For queer Americans this was a huge deal. While women’s professional sports leagues have often been welcoming to out athletes, men’s professional leagues have been famously less accepting. None of the four…

Piers Morgan Still, Like, Totally Obsessed with Janet Mock (and His Own False Victimhood)
Janet Mock once again brightened our TV screens when she appeared on The Colbert Report to promote her book, Redefining Realness, and discuss how the media should talk to trans people, as well as the importance of respecting people’s self identities. Stephen Colbert, who does have a somewhat rough past when it comes to making transmysogynistic jokes(in what he claims is satire), was making jokes…
Dear Queer Diary: Journaling While Left-Handed
It must have been around the time that I learned to write that I discovered this facet of my identity, but I can’t recall being particularly concerned about it. In fact, from what I remember, my left-handedness was a badge of honor. Lefties have higher IQs, right? We are more creative? (I think I managed to forget about the statistical likelihood that we will…
