It’s Monday Pop Culture Fix time, rainbow sno-cones!


+ In a new interview with the Sunday Times Style, British supermodel Lily Cole came out as queer, saying:

“I like that word [queer] because of its openness, because I think all those boundaries are quite rigid. I have lots of friends who identify as bisexual, lesbian or whatever, who also identify as queer… I’ve always been quite private about my private life, consciously, and I want to continue to be, so I don’t feel the need to be explicit. At the same time I feel the need to acknowledge that I am not straight.”

+ Breanna Stewart and her wife Marta Xargay Casademont have welcomed a baby girl into the world! Ruby is her name!

+ If you want to shop Paula and Olivia’s “seemingly nonchalant” White Lotus style, PopSugar’s got you covered. (Show writer/creator Mike White agrees their relationship is weird. In a post-mortem with Vulture he called it “a friendship… or whatever it is.”)

+ The first four episodes of Grace and Frankie’s final season are here.

+ FX has ordered American Love Story and American Sports Story spin-offs from Ryan Murphy, for some reason.

+ Netflix’s all-queer superhero team, Q-Force, got a full trailer last week. The voice cast includes Sean Hayes, Wanda Sykes, Laurie Metcalf, Gary Cole, David Harbour, Patti Harrison, and Matt Rogers.

+ Go Inside the inclusive casting process for RuPaul’s Drag Race, Queer Eye and Top Chef.

+ Y: The Last Man team on exploring gender and identity in the new Hulu/FX series.

+ St. Vincent threatens to devour Annie Clark in the trailer for The Nowhere Inn.
