How did thus 1987 fan-rom-com hold up? Well, Ally Sheedy is certainly trying really hard. Think of this as a preview of our upcoming Beverly Hills Teens episode of The Cartoons That Made Us Gay, and big thanks to Erin Fletcher for giving us the one comment we had to discuss.

2022-04-12 02:50:41 +0000 UTC View PostHi all. Due to a last minute scheduling thing, we're going to record the Maid to Order episode of GEE Movie Club on Monday, posting later that day.
But a question: Is this something you'd all even want? I ask because the film isn't streaming anywhere and because we ripped the DVD and posted...

“World’s Greatest Dick” (November 10, 1996)
Sally Solomon is a straight, cis character, but for the first two seasons of the 3rd Rock from the Sun, there was this queer or trans aura around her. This episode dispels it, for the most part, and allows the writers to craft storylines and...

“Luann Virgin 2.0” (March 11, 2001)
We’re very happy to return to Arlen, Texas, to discuss a King of the Hill episode that has a small gay subplot — Peggy technically lost her virginity before she met Hank to a friend who needed to figure out if he was gay. However, in having that t...

Edit/Non-Content Warning: In the original intro clip, Max references a trans slur that, if we’re being responsible, would have gotten a warning. It’s a garbage joke. I cut it from our episode, and it removed so cleanly that you have to acknowledge that it could have been removed just as easil...
