One of our favorite bisexual women, Miley Cyrus, has dropped a new album just in time for summer and it is by far one of her greatest works. The amazing success Cyrus has had since “Flowers” dropped speaks for itself – but is Endless Summer Vacation truly her game changer? Cyrus has had one hell of a career; from Hannah Montana to Bangerz to ESV, Cyrus knows how to rebrand and experiment like no other, and that brings about more criticism than most deal with. Cryus also went through an extremely public divorce where the public assumed that she cheated and lied, when it was actually the oppos ..read more

‘Lesbian Jesus’ Hayley Kiyoko has debuted her first novel Girls Like Girls, a coming-of-age romance based on her hit song of the same name! “It’s summertime and 17-year-old Coley has found herself alone, again,” reads the synopsis. “Forced to move to rural Oregon after just losing her mother, she is in no position to risk her already fragile heart.

‘Lesbian Jesus’ Hayley Kiyoko has dropped a new single, “Greenlight,” co-written by Jesse St. John. Kiyoko performed the song for the first time on her recent Panorama tour which is currently wrapping up.

Kiyoko sings about her bad decisions playing a role in things falling apart, while also blaming a subconscious drive to follow red lights, waiting for them to change color, instead of travelling the roads with ..read more

Janelle Monáe is back with a new single! It’s called “Lipstick Lover.” And it’s insanely hot. Straight off the bat we know it’s sapphic, even without the reference to lipstick lesbians. The music video opens with Monáe being kissed by a woman. And it only gets more intense. Warning: this video is NSFW. However tempted you are – there’s a lot of temptation packed into 3 minutes and 30 seconds – don’t watch it in the office. It’s just as well the video for “Lipstick Lover” is set in a swimming pool, because we all need to cool down after watching it. Women kiss each other’s necks and lock lips ..read more

The first is of Julien Baker ..read more

Short Film for “October Passed Me By” by Girl in Red “Do you listen to Girl in Red?” Littered across TikTok comment sections, this seemingly innocuous question has quickly become the new “are you a friend of Dorothy?” It is a discreet way to ask if a woman is lesbian or bisexual… but who exactly is Girl in Red?  Marie Ulven Ringheim, also known as Girl in Red, is a lesbian singer-songwriter and record producer that has gained notoriety for her confessional songwriting about mental health struggles, relationships, and heartbreak. Born in Norway in 1999, Ringheim grew up wanting to be a te ..read more

The debut studio album by American indie rock supergroup boygenius (stylized in lowercase), the record, will be released on March 31, 2023. A single from the record, “not strong enough,” was released in early March… and we’re diagnosing it sapphic.   The trio that forms boygenius–Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus–youthfully galavant around town in the music video, which appears to be filmed on a smartphone. They’re not trying to be pretentious. They don’t need a light show. They’re women doing stuff. Hanging out. Unpainted, natural faces and all. “The way I am / Not ..read more

Still from Lavender Haze music video Taylor Swift, Fearless (see what we did there) and dedicated trans ally, has been supporting the LGBTQ community for her entire career. From removing “that lyric” from her 2006 hit “Picture To Burn” (It said “you won’t mind if I tell mine that you’re gay…” and was removed) to her entire “You Need To Calm Down” music video, she has supported us. But the favor is not being returned. Over the years, Swift has been accused of tokenizing, misrepresenting and letting down one specific community – The trans community. The rumors are terrible and cruel but honey, n ..read more
