How well do the leads of First Kill know each other?

For All Mankind

Space Gays! No idea why we love For All Mankind? Why not watch it on Apple TV! Season one is free for all mankind … for a limited time.

The L Word: Generation Q

I love seeing these three together again to film season three of TLWGQ! Also, if you want to hear behind the scenes stories, listen to Kate and Leisha recap the OG L Word and ramble about home repair, listen to the PANTS Podcast.

The Last of Us

For anyone who isn’t a gamer geek, the video game is about zombies (called Clickers) and the … well, last of us humans. One of those humans is Ellie, who appears to be immune to the clickers’ bites! She’s also a lesbian, though that may not be relevant in the first season for a 14 year old scrambling to survive (her girlfriends are in part II when she’s older). Ashley Johnson (who played the part in the video game) will be in the series as well as someone yet to be revealed. The expected release is sometime in 2023.

A League of Their Own

Just in case anyone needs a good happy-cry!

The first photos are out for us all to enjoy.

9-1-1: Lone Star

Annoyingly there is no mention of Marjan (anyone know a good shipname for Marjan and Paul?) but Brian Michael Smith has a brief and honest chat with TV Insider about Paul’s rough season, his love life, and the question of when does a trans man out himself to a potential romantic partner?

Pride Month News

While Fox decided NOT to air it, the fact remains that Jeopardy super champ threw out the first pitch for a SF Giants game in pride month
