I would race home after school to get home in time to watch it in those prehistoric days before everyone had a VCR. I had action figures. I had the Crystal Castle. Most importantly, I had a female hero who, despite her being white and blonde, I didn't have to break my brain in order to see myself as. Now, she's back for a whole new generation of kids.

Now, Discovery star Sonequa Martin-Green gives us some insight into where the show is headed in Season Two.

"He's the biggest Spider-Man fan," the receptionist explained. "He wants to dress in his Spider-Man costume to watch it." My friend's eyes went round with horror. "No," she said. "Oh, no, no, no. Take your kid and run in the opposite direction."

Lesbian artist, Hayley Kiyoko, and queer artist, Kehlani, called out the song for lyrics that seem to imply that women need to drink wine in order to kiss girls.

Jennifer Aniston has signed on to play the first queer female president in the new feature comedy First Ladies. Netflix will be producing the film, which also stars comedian Tig Notaro as the First Lady. The political comedy centers on Beverly and Kasey Nicholson, America’s first female President and her wife, the First Lady, in a story that promises to show that behind every great woman is another great woman.
