There’s a lot of confusing information out there but this here is the real true history of LGBTQ+ nominees for Lead and Supporting Actress Oscars — a field in which queer roles are often rewarded, but out queer people very rarely are.

Let's play a game of This Or That for Yellowjackets S3E3 "Them's the Brakes" (if you need a refresher, check out our recap here: autostraddle.com/yello…)

"If even the youngest amongst us aren’t sinking into hopelessness, then we shouldn’t either."

"Sam deserved to keep living this life every day, and he deserved to grow up even further, to grow old, to achieve his goals, and get every single thing he desired."

"The Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website has removed the word transgender and any mention of trans people. But was the Stonewall National Monument ever worthy of its radical roots?"

How lovely to be scrolling through @autostraddle.bsky.social's Most Anticipated Queer Books for February list, avidly noting titles to place holds on and buy, and see my book cover in excellent company! www.autostraddle.com/the-most-ant...

"What I know for certain is that no one feels comfortable with genuine optimism."

Always an honor to get published on @autostraddle.bsky.social and this newest piece was no exception! My latest for this publication explores why, on its tenth anniversary, we need more movies like Jupiter Ascending in the cinematic landscape! www.autostraddle.com/jupiter-asce...

"This Executive Order is just going to give these sports-specific governing bodies who already have policies aimed at trans participation in their sports more fuel to enforce them."

More than 8,000 web pages with vital information across a dozen government websites have been removed from the internet. These deletions are far-reaching, targeting diversity initiatives and pretty much anything pertaining to gender equality.

Oh hey I spy WHY ON EARTH on this @autostraddle.bsky.social list of most anticipated queer books! 🌈📚 www.autostraddle.com/the-most-ant...

My latest for @autostraddle.bsky.social is live now!

"RAINS OVER BABEL is queer Cinema that’s wholesome and transgressive” says @autostraddle.bsky.social on the Colombian film by Gala del Sol #Sundance #IFFR2025

Today in actually good news: A HISTORY OF TRANSGENDER MEDICINE IN THE US is one of @autostraddle.bsky.social's most anticipated queer books for February. 🤩📚 @sunypress.bsky.social www.autostraddle.com/the-most-ant...

"The ‘Trinkets’ and ‘Prime Target’ actor discusses their directorial debut where they play a Muay Thai fighter facing off against their childhood best friend."

"Trump’s Executive Orders aimed at America’s schools make it clear his administration wants to destroy public education."

"Trump’s executive order attempting to ban gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 relies on lies and misinformation to push through sweeping reform that will ruin a lot of lives."

"Trump’s latest anti-trans Executive Order targets trans people seeking gender-affirming care under the age of 19, using pseudoscience, outright falsehoods, fear-mongering, and the threat of prosecution against medical practices enthusiastically endorsed by medical professionals to make its case."

Plus, you simply HAVE to see this pic of Cynthia Erivo and Olivia Colman together. And more queer celeb IG updates.

#Sundance2025: "The most important relationship in the film isn’t between Agnes and her abuser but Agnes and her lesbian best friend."

Genuinely useful explainer from @autostraddle.bsky.social on Trump's executive orders, focusing particularly on anti-trans material. Outlines where the dangers lie, the significant limits to Trump's power, plus spaces for mainstream political resistance and contestation.

This is a good read. Trump’s executive orders do not and cannot change the existing laws protecting LGBTQ+ rights. Normally executive orders direct policy; these ones are ‘also glorified press releases designed to create confusion and chaos’. tinyurl.com/3tt9s98b @autostraddle.bsky.social
