Transcendence
It had been years since Alex had changed their password. They had been too scared, too scared of what might happen if someone found out their secret. But as they sat in front of their computer, staring at the login screen, they knew that it was time to reset their password.

How Insurance Companies are Killing Trans lives
Most people can view surgery as being cosmetic especially when pertaining to the face or body. For most of us trans people, surgery is necessary to feel happy and safe within ones body. When a soul craves to be seen a way but is seen as the complete opposite, this can be extremely damaging mentally and emotionally, unfortunately sometimes physically.

Spoilers Ahead for Season 3 of 'The L Word: Generation Q' 'The L Word: Generation Q' [Showtime] If you've been watching The L Word: Generation Q, you have no doubt been enjoying the throwbacks to the past the show has given us (so far).

Kit Connor Deserved Better
For the last few years, there’s been the debate of whether only LGBTQ characters should be played by actors who identify as such — this is a debate I have steered clear from as a writer, because I believe that an actor’s sexual preference or gender identity does not determine their acting ability or talent. Many LGBTQ actors have played heterosexual roles, the same can be said for straight actors playing a homosexual character, sometimes an actor happens to identify with their character’s sexual preference and sometimes actors are cast without their sexuality being a plot point at all.

PRIDE OF CHUCKY
Charles Lee Ray, homicidal maniac, wisecracking killer doll, and LGBTQIA+ ally. Shocking? Not so much. Child's Play as a franchise is refreshingly and outrageously queer. In horror, a medium that has always been home to our kind, one franchise icon stands out among the rest. Chucky.

Cultural characteristics of Australians
The first inhabitants of this vast continent are the aborigines, coming to the land some 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, and the scholars thought they may have crossed the land bridges from Southeast Asia. These people were mostly hunter-gatherers with a complex oral tradition and spiritual beliefs. The Aborigines were able to use and sustain the continent’s resources, concurring to stop hunting and gathering at certain times to give ample time to the resources and populations to flourish. It is believed that before the European settlement, as many as half a million to a million Aborigines lived peacefully. Today, an estimated 350,000 Aborigines are living on the continent.

Why Netflix Should Have Never Labeled 'Dahmer' An LGBTQ+ Series
Since its debut on September 21, 2022, Ryan Murphy's latest offering on Netflix has stirred up a lot of controversy. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story sought out to tell the story of the notorious serial killer from the perspective of the victims and, with that, tell the story from behind a lens that we haven't really seen before. Lead actor Evan Peters even said in promotional content for the series that the show wasn't even about Jeffrey Dahmer, despite his name being in the title twice.
