Real talk: I'm getting married in August; teal is my main color. And this show is making me seriously doubt that decision.

It's both. It's prayer-as-foreplay. And it, or something like it, is not unknown among devout Christians now, even Christians who are very sex-positive (within marriage). If God created sex to bind men and women together to create new life, then invoking him into your sex life only enhances the experience. I know at…

That's interesting and I haven't honestly ever seen it used that way; every use I've seen of it has been actually, truly calling out someone whose concern for others is rooted only in their own need to be a hero, to center themselves in a conversation that's not necessarily about them. And as a cisgender gay white…

wait…what? I'm trying to see what's sexist about the term white knighting when it's a term that's used to describe sexist behavior. I'm honestly asking here, because I do work to avoid using terminology rooted in misogyny if at all possible, and while I can see calling the *practice* of white knighting odious and…

It was completely and totally gross. And the show made it clear that it was totally gross, just as it called out Luke White Knighting for June on the day she and Moira had their bank accounts frozen. Part of the amazing thing of this is that it's not just calling out the Big Misogyny of Gilead; it's calling out the…

…they are now *literally* calling gay men who wear their clothing clones. Which…yes, but really?

Mimi called her Anita, Anika tried to correct her, and Cookie used "Anita" to let her know to let Mimi call her whatever she damn well pleased.

I spent most of my Young Gay Life being blown away by the varied talents of the mother-daughter power team of Carol and Stockard Channing. Then I watched an Inside the Actor's Studio where my favorite First Lady revealed that her birth name was, in fact, Suzy Stockard. I put two and two together - or, rather, took…

Actually, I think that was pretty clearly him taking over for the sensate currently physically present. They followed the convention of showing the audience the sensate in control,and the subjective point of view of the cluster (other members standing outside watching the scene unfold), not what the objective reality…

See, this is the criticism of the show that I just don't get. To me, the show is about these eight people - completely unrelated - completely unknown to each other - who are yet somehow connected. And the arc of the season is about that *connection*. Whether they have a Big Bad to fight from the get-go is completely…

She wasn't making a Dean Martin joke. She was referencing Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis as a comedy team to balance Katya's Poehler/Fay Golden Globes reference. In the workroom. Where being old is part of her shtick.

I've always heard that as "gold star gay" - platinum are the gold stars who were delivered by C-Section.

There's an unwritten but assumed "previous" in that sentence - since the review is written as if it's in real-time, and the Snatch Game is unfolding as we go.

For my college entrance essays, one of the prompts was "Name a belief you once strongly held, but through a logical process, changed or discarded."

They mentioned the festival only happened every ~1000 years, so I'm assuming that allowed for enough "new" story to sate the hibernating God.

I was a youth group and summer camp songleader in high school and early college. I would inevitably get requests to play "American Pie." I made the requester sing along with me, and the moment s/he forgot the words, it was over.  I rarely had to play past the third verse.

…if drinking were damaging from the *moment of conception,* a goodly portion of us would be walking around with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

The emergency exit portion of BURNING BLUEBEARD was the moment I fell completely, head-over-heels in love with Chicago theater.
