5 Characters We Want To See Return In 'The L Word: Generation Q'
Ever since the start of the modern spinoff of The L Word, Generation Q has become the queer show we didn't know we needed. Just like its predecessor, the show is full of drama, love triangles, heavy issues, and inclusion. It also has featured quite a few characters from the original show, like Alice, Bette, Tina and Shane.

A League Of Our Own
I used to watch the film A League Of Their Own religiously, sometimes day after day after day. There was a summer where I insisted on wearing this one pink skirt I had all the time because it reminded me of the Rockford Peaches uniform. I wanted to be Dottie Hinson and developed a major crush on Geena Davis...I wanted to be WITH her too, but didn't quite understand those feelings as a kid...but that crush was very real and still remains to this very day.

Alice: Cruel Transwoman stereotype, or something more?
In this day and age, we're seeing more LGBT characters than ever across adult and even children's cartoons. These characters are usually portrayed quite sensitively and positively, but even as recent as a decade ago, the rare gay character would almost always be a walking caricature of what society as a whole saw these individuals as.

When Australian TV led the world in going Gay!
Back when I was a boy one of my father's favourite sayings was; "Back when I was a boy!" Then he would launch into some lengthy story, the gist of which would be how life/things/people were all so much better back then, or far less complicated, or just simpler. I'm sure most of you can relate to this.

Blue is the Warmest Colour
Blue is the Warmest Colour is a sapphic tale featuring tragedy, young love and sexual discovery in the 1990s in France. This book has been on my wishlist for some time. The reason for this was because I saw the film of the same title on Netflix and was impressed with the cinematography. I loved the film when I watched it, it blew me away. I loved the little details and the way it ended. There was some clever storytelling.

Comedy Has Slapped Me Around My Entire Life
I highly recommend Jerrod Carmichael’s new HBO Special, Rothaniel. It’s powerful. Much of what I have learned about racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, really all the “isms” — has come from first-person accounts that required a lot of vulnerability on the part of the storyteller. I found these accounts in person or literature, seldom, until much more recently, in film or on television. Carmichael gets raw and vulnerable and tells an important story so many can relate to.
