Exploring the vibrant world of LGBTQIA+ literature has always been a joy for me.

Engaging with authors who bring our community’s stories to life highlights the power of representation and the importance of celebrating diverse voices.

The author of Queer Power: Icons, Activists and Game Changers from Across the Rainbow has created a stunning tribute to our community, filled with bold visuals and inspiring narratives. Their passion for showcasing both well-known icons and hidden gems is truly admirable.

If you’re looking for an alternative to all the feel-good movie entertainment this holiday season, and you want something that will make you want to take a long Silkwood shower after watching it, I suggest “Babygirl” (A24). A depressing blend of sexual compulsion, infidelity, inappropriate workplace behavior, abuse of power, degradation, and heterosexual horror. The best thing that can be said about “Babygirl” is that the queer character far outshines her straight counterparts.

Mother knows best.
At least that’s what she’d like you to think because she said it a hundred times while you were
growing up, until you actually believed. One day, though, if you were lucky, you learned that
Mother didn’t always know best, but she did her best – like in the new book “Cher: The
Memoir Part One” by Cher, when Mom helped make a star.

The world of the music biopic is littered with as many failures (“Back To Black,” “Jersey Boys,” “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” “Respect,” and “Stardust”) as successes (“What’s Love Got To Do With It?”, “Get On Up,” “Ray,” “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “Rocketman,” and “Control”).

Just a few years ago, it was relatively easy to count the number of albums by LGBTQ musical acts that would make good gifts for those on your holiday gift list. Now, counting seems pointless as there’s so much cool stuff available. Here are some suggestions.

The writing of legendary Beat Generation author, gun enthusiast, and notorious opiate addict William S. Burroughs was long considered too bizarre and experimental to make the transition to film. But that didn’t stop body-horror-master David Cronenberg from adapting “Naked Lunch” in 1991.
