TV News & Trailers

Gillian Anderson and Lily Rabe are Queer Loves Eleanor and Hick in Showtime’s “The First Lady”

Their correspondence and their personal writings about each other are overtly gay, but, like so many queers before them, Eleanor’s relationship with Hick was written off by historians as some kind of gal pal school girl crush. It was not; it was a full-blown love affair that spanned FDR’s entire presidency.

Debbie Millman’s “Why Design Matters” Is a Career Long Tribute of Lesbian Brilliance to Get Lost in on a Sunday Afternoon

Design Matters isn’t explicitly queer, but the longest-running podcast in history — with more than 40 million downloads and counting — comes from the mind of a lesbian and I’m deeply invested in reclaiming it as our culture.
