by
Ruth Bader Ginsburg

While the new Justice League movie is bombing with critics and at the box office, there is one woman who could save the day. Her name? Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In a movie we’d frankly much rather see, Jimmy Kimmel introduced Ginsburg into the crime fighting league to remind us that not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear robes and frilly lace. Ginsburg, who at least half the country hopes has the power of immortality, is brave and mighty with her gavel. By Jeff Taylor – Full Story at LGBTQ Nation

Justice League

“Justice League” is great fun. Directed by Zack Snyder (with an uncredited assist from Joss Whedon) from a screenplay by Chris Torres (with a credited assist from Joss Whedon), the film pleasantly and effectively blends fast-paced action sequences, frequent doses of comedy, and enough engaging drama to cover the exposition needed to launch the next several movies in the DC Universe. The plot kicks off when Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck), still feeling guilty about the death of Superman (Henry Cavill), battles a mysterious winged creature that seems to feed on fear. At the same time, after handily thwarting a terrorist … Read more

TV: 90’s Cartoon Characters You Never Knew Were Queer

by
Spongebob

When you look back on your childhood, you might be surprised how many queer TV characters there were. Especially if your formative years were during the 90s, as LGBTI people were slowly gaining acceptance. Many writers of TV shows back then used codes and stereotypes to convey queerness in the most mainstream of settings: kids TV. Some dropped small hints through dress or character, and some went full rainbow, and some even did or eventually made those characters’ sexuality explicit.
