All the fun gay Halloween stuff you could want
Plus second-chance sapphic romances with Black leads, and Lady Gaga
Happy Halloween! Tara here, with the latest in queer entertainment news.
🎧 Latest episode: Nice!
Have you listened to our most recent episode? We celebrated the end of WGA’s strike, but SAG-AFTRA is holding strong, and so are we. We also get into our thoughts around how generative AI may affect publishing.
Kris has another great recommendation for music fans, with the 2017 Netflix documentary, Gaga: Five Foot Two. It covers a year in the life of Lady Gaga as she works on her fifth studio release album, Joanne.
I round it out with a beautiful graphic novel. Bingo Love by Tee Franklin (Author), Jenn St-Onge (Artist) is a second-chance romance between two Black women that starts in the 1960s and sees them reconnecting in their 60s. Many thanks to Lawrence Lindell, who recommended it when we interviewed him.
While we’re at it
