“What We Do in the Shadows” and Pansexuality Rep: The Good, The Bad, and the Potential For More

Ras (she/her)

I’m going to preface this with a few qualifiers: I do not like “The Office.” I think “Parks and Rec” is eh, and I’ve still yet to finish it. I like sexy vampires, but mostly as an allegory for queerness, not the “Twilight”-induced sparkly confections of the 2010s except in an extremely ironic way. And yet, somehow, in this year of 2020 I fell in love with the irreverent vampire mockumentary that is “What We Do in the Shadows.”

Queer Horror Fiction Podcasts for Spooky Season

Oliver Stevens (he/him) // Staff Writer

I love podcasts, I love horror stories, and I love queer media. Luckily for me, there are a good number of queer horror podcasts out there. If you’re in the same boat as me and you’re constantly looking for more podcasts to listen to, or if you’ve never listened to horror podcasts before, here are some recommendations!

orange: the verb

Smitty (they/them) // Creatives Editor

​chaos is the only word i can use to describe this year. and, no lie, it has been -- and is still -- very hard to navigate this semester. not very often do i find the ability to come up for air, but i’m glad for this sip.

“Milfs Are The Backbone of the Economy Right Now, Much Like In World War Two”: A Conversation with Left At London

J. Gillis // Staff Writer

Folks, have we got an interview for you! Last week, we got the opportunity to sit down with Nat Puff, better known as Left At London, the indie pop icon behind “Purple Heart”, “Transgender Street Legend Volume One”, and a whole bunch of Vines and Tik Toks. We chatted about her upcoming work with WOW OK and the recent release of “Transgender Street Legend Volume 2”. What ensued covered everything from the current state of car show inflatables to the perils of predicting the future. We hope you enjoy- we certainly did.

"Portrait of a Lady on Fire" Does What "Call Me By Your Name" Couldn’t

Stephanie Sorter
​Staff Writer
she/her/hers​

(Slight spoilers for both movies ahead. Read at your own risk!)
As a movie, Call Me By Your Name (CMBYN) is filled with elements I love: vintage gays, picturesque views of the Italian countryside, a soundtrack filled with songs by Sufjan Stevens. However, none of these things were enough to make me even begin to enjoy watching it.

“Rocketman” is a Stellar Performance: A Review of the 2019 Elton John Biopic

Rose Younglove
​Staff Writer
​she/her/hers

When I was a little girl, one of my favorite songs was “Your Song.” At the time I didn’t know the singer’s name and I certainly didn’t know he was gay. I just knew how his music made me feel, the feel of the large, black knobs on my father’s cassette player and the sun burning an orange line along my arm from resting on the inside of his truck window in July. I also didn’t know Elton John dressed up as the Queen of England, or that he snorted cocaine. But I knew crocodiles danced to rock and roll in my father’s garage radio. It is not uncommon for a biography to humanize its subject or to characterize them as a victim. But “Rocketman” was able to humanize its subject without victimizing him.

Queer Year in Review: An Investi-gay-tion into Some Favorite Media from 2019

Stephanie Sorter
​Staff Writer
she/her/hers

Goodbye twenty bi-teen, hello twenty twen-T! I’m sure everyone is tired of year in review articles by now, but before we move on to celebrating transness in every form in 2020, I want to take the time to talk about some of the queer media 2019 had to offer. And let me say, it offered a lot. Unfortunately, I am only one person, and while I wish I could experience any and every piece of media with LGBT+ themes, I am sure I missed a lot. So, while I can’t offer an all-inclusive review of everything gay from this past year, here are some things I enjoyed.

A Review of "Bare the Musical"

Edha Shirodkar
​Current Events Editor
she/her/hers​

On Saturday, November 23rd, I made my way to the Power Center for "Bare," a musical production being put on by the on-campus theater group MUSKET. I had volunteered to be an usher for the night, and conversations with the other ushers let me know what to expect in the show. Despite knowing what was going to happen, no amount of background knowledge could have prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster I was about to get on.
