What queer media, be it books, music or film/TV, is a mainstay in your life? Why?
Fried Green Tomatoes, the original L Word series and one of my favorite books, The Color Purple. They all taught me about the complexities, nuance and beauty of relationships between women. I also love that the human examples in these pieces learn to claim themselves and take up space unapologetically.
You finally get to meet your queer hero. Who are they? And after “Thank you” and “I love you,” what the next thing you tell them?
Robin Roberts! I would tell her how much I appreciate that her sexuality is not a headline, that I admire the grace and power with which she approaches her job. She is an OUT Black female anchor on one of the most watched morning news shows in the country. I feel she uses her visibility to advocate and shine light on communities in need. Seeing her succeed has inspired me in so much over the years and I’m grateful she exists.
