Each year, GO publishes 100 Women We Love, a roundup of outstanding queer women who are making an impact on the world through their work, advocacy, and visibility. We are currently accepting nominations for Women We Love, Class of 2023.

Lesbian and queer women slayed in 2022 in the realms of social justice, music, film, sports, and more.

Happy Pride!

Here are 100 lesbian, bi, queer, and just plain human moments that had extra special meaning for our entire community.

We adamantly recommend that all who consider venturing out to any public event continue to intelligently and carefully assess any risks involved in attending such events. We love you!

Merry Litmas!

A little party never hurt nobody.

As the world opens up, it’s time to turn all of your t-shirts into crop tops. 

100 lesbian, bi, queer, and just plain human moments that had extra special meaning for our entire community.

What a truly epic lesbian year it has been.

Five of our very favorite humans share their personal views on the significance of WorldPride 2019 | Stonewall 50.

Bask in the fabulousness of these fierce queer Black women who are shaping our culture, making a difference, slaying the ‘gram, and making waves.

Sinema is no stranger to breaking glass ceilings.

We at GO applaud Scotland for this life-saving, powerful, and inclusive decision.
