Know Other Festival Is the Queer Camping Experience You Didn’t Know You Needed

Four days in the California desert, surrounded entirely by queer women, trans, and nonbinary people. Healing workshops led by queer facilitators. Live music under Joshua Tree skies. A body-positive pool party where every body is celebrated. A vendor marketplace built entirely by and for LGBTQ+ community members. And all of it designed not as an […]

You’ve Been to Pride Before. Not Like This.

You’ve probably done Pride before. Maybe it looked like a packed street where you couldn’t quite see the parade, music coming from somewhere you couldn’t locate, and a plan that felt solid in the morning but slowly unraveled by mid-afternoon. You moved through it, but didn’t fully feel inside of it. New York City Pride […]

Isla Holbox Travel Guide: A Slower, Softer Kind of Beach Escape in Mexico

Isla Holbox, view of the beaches and palm trees

Isla Holbox isn’t the queer beach destination you go to for nightlife, lesbian bars, or a lineup of LGBTQ-owned cafés. There’s no obvious “scene,” no cluster of queer spaces, and no party pulling you from one place to the next. And yet, it’s one of the most comfortable places I’ve traveled to as a queer […]

There’s a shift happening in how queer women travel, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

You’ve probably thought about Machu Picchu more than once. It’s one of those places that lingers in the background, something you’ve seen in textbooks, on social media, in other people’s photos. It carries a kind of weight. Not just because it’s beautiful, but because it feels meaningful. Like the kind of trip that says something […]

If you’re looking for lesbian short stories you can actually finish in a weekend, you’re not alone. Not every story needs hundreds of pages to leave an impact.

The IOC Bans Transgender Women From Women’s Olympic Events Starting in 2028

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that transgender women will be banned from competing in women’s events at the Olympic Games beginning in 2028.

Dearest Gentle Reader, Bridgerton Is Finally Getting a Queer Love Story

Bridgerton, season 5 queer love story

Dear Queer Reader, It seems the ton is about to shift. For seasons, Bridgerton has built its world around sweeping heterosexual romances, whispered scandals, and slow-burning desire. It has given us longing glances, orchestral pop covers, and the kind of tension that lingers just long enough to keep us watching. But until now, queer love […]

Lesbian Video Games to Play Right Now (and Why This Moment Matters)

covers from five different lesbian video games

Lesbian video games are evolving, and quietly, they are becoming some of the most compelling spaces for queer storytelling right now.

There is now a growing catalog of […]
