| Time Magazine gave an interview to Maia Kobabe over eir graphic novel, Gender Queer: A Memoir, which has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons, and occasionally the right ones. Kobabe identifies as non-binary, prefers the use of non-binary pronouns e/em and eir, and eir journey towards that is much of what the graphic novel is about.

That was…

You can’t be too surprised, considering the fact that Shudder previously made the excellent Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror, but the streamer’s latest documentary series looks like it’ll be a must-watch. Executive produced by Bryan Fuller (Hannibal), Queer for Fear examines the horror genre through an LGBTQ+ lens. After the series’ San Diego Comic-Con panel, Shudder released a lengthy clip from the first episode, which you can watch here!“The documentary, when it was initiated, was a movie,” Fuller told the SDCC…

Ask any music or fashion aficionado: Between low-rise jeans, thundering nü-metal bass lines and the renaissance of Britney Spears, Y2K nostalgia is taking off.Yet not all Y2K throwbacks need reviving, say the members of Los Angeles indie-pop trio Muna. Between the ubiquity of rape jokes in popular movies and TV, not to mention the unceremonious outings of then-closeted celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Lance Bass of ‘N Sync, “we were being sold back this idea of ourselves,” says Katie Gavin, 29, lead vocalist of Muna.…

The fact that I was suddenly going to start dating girls…

On Oct. 11, 2021, the Man of Steel came out of the closet. “Superman comes out as bisexual; ‘not a gimmick,’ writer says,” blared the Reuters headline. “Why ‘Bisexual Superman’ Has Conservatives’ Tights In a Twist,” declared Forbes. And sure enough, the outrage was swift, sharp, and depressingly predictable. Less than a month after DC announced the character’s forthcoming revelation, police were dispatched to the homes of writer Tom Taylor and artist John Timms after threats were made to the comics company. Meanwhile,…
