Laws restricting reproductive health care services like abortion are undeniably about misogyny, control, and the systemic subjugation of women, but in addition to the objective fact that men—and all people—seek reproductive health care, everyone in society is worse off when we’re governed by a state that undermines the most basic, fundamental right to privacy.

I could not have been more excited when it was announced last month that one of my favorite actors, Lakeith Stanfield, was to play the lead role in a developing a film adaptation of one of my favorite graphic novels, Ronald Wimberly’s Prince of Cats. Riffing off Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Prince of Cats is set in 1980s Brooklyn and centers on Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt.

In the opening of Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, Saoirse Ronan’s teenage character, Christine, and her careworn mother. Marion, listen tearfully to a radio play in the car. For that moment, they’re more open with each other than they are with anyone else, owning a casual intimacy that can only arrive through a lifetime of love and close proximity.

Summer may be on its way out, but that doesn’t mean we have to dread the impending fall. Oh no, let’s keep this party going strong by continuing to get loud and proud, dancing in the streets, making our voices heard, and reading some of the excellent queer reads released this past June and July. That’s right, friends! June and July have certainly come and gone, but we can definitely keep reading!

As Roe v.

Wynonna Earp showed up in a big way at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

It’s not easy for a television show to make it to air in the first place, or get to a second season. It’s certainly hard to get to 100 episodes, but 300? That’s a number that’s almost unthinkable, but for Supernatural, it almost seems inevitable.

In the aftermath of President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, lawmakers on every level of government have been on the move, laying the groundwork to either protect or dismantle reproductive rights across the country.

Ruby and Sapphire reconsider their relationship and think about what they want. There are so many feelings.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is undeniably one of the most groundbreaking teen genre series of all time. From its very first episode in 1997, Buffy turned the traditional "dumb blonde" damsel in distress trope on its head, portraying Buffy as a formidable warrior who had the unique ability to save Sunnydale from the forces of darkness. The show, which ran on the WB and then UPN from 1997 to 2003, changed our understanding of what it means to be a hero.

First of all, as a Scorpio-Slytherin, let me just say that I am here for a revenge story—the more exacting and drawn-out, the better. As a former art historian, I also can’t resist beautiful visuals for a book inspired by real-life historical mysteries, all of which is to say that Shanghai Red, a new Image book by Christopher Sebela, Joshua Hixon, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, is a lot of my favorite things straight out of the gate.

There are times the new Superfly is so awful that it seems like a parody of a bad movie. Sadly, there is nothing in this movie that is supposed to be a joke, leading to a film that feels much longer than its 103-minute runtime.

There are a lot of really fun things you have to deal with as the parent of a toddler, one of them being enduring children’s entertainment, often on a constant loop. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, the kid’s media choices will be great, sometimes they’re terrible, and sometimes, you wish there were a movie out there, that you could show your child, about you. Unfortunately, when you’re queer parent, that’s almost impossible.
