Laganja Estranja Gets Real In This Exclusive Chat With GO Mag

“My experience as a contestant on the sixth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” was quite tumultuous. I had never been on television before, so I had no idea what I was walking into. At the time, I was 23-years-old.”

Ezra Furman’s Songs Follow Tired People With Haunted Heads

Furman’s songs have always followed queer characters, outcasts, and tired and desperate people with haunted heads. When I felt aimless, her songs were a compass. When I felt so disconnected from the earth that I would float away, her songs were an anchor.

Courtney Summers On Coming Out, Lesbian Love Stories & Her Highly Anticipated 8th Book

“I’ve seen some responses by people who would consider themselves allies lean on victim-blaming rhetoric to justify the visceral reactions they’re having to the book’s contents. “I’m the Girl” is meant to be both a challenging—and revealing—reading experience.”

Elisia Guerena

tonight I’m my bride, this is my bouquet toss, and all I’m leaving behind are flowers.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: The game begins. I chase the ball instead of my thoughts. I sweat the way I’ve started to at night, my body washing all of its parts that used to hold her. The plate of my chest, the crook of my arm, and the crevice of my thighs all weep as I sleep.

Yes, A Queer Ranch Festival Exists. Here’s What It’s Like.

Naturally, a ranch festival can’t be all about nightlife – the blue cloudless skies, sandy beaches, and cool Mediterranean breeze, call your hungover ass to action no matter what you imbibed the night before.

Neema Avashia Is Telling Her Story Of Growing Up Queer & Indian in Appalachia

“I think that, when you layer gender and sexuality, and race on storytelling, it gets harder and harder and harder to tell your story sometimes, and the amount of space or permission you have to do that can really become smaller, and smaller and smaller.”

A'Kala Chaires

Giving Myself & Others The Gift Of Mourning

That is what I would like to gift to myself and to others as the world continues to burst from the inside out: permission to take as long as you need to mourn whatever you lost. Permission to sit in your stillness and grieve what you thought these two years would be like. Permission to be sad and hurt and angry that people and dreams will no longer be realized.
