At the beginning of the summer, I decided I wanted to gay it up! By this I mean, I wanted to revel in my queerness, watch tons of queer stuff, read books by queer authors/about queer people, go to as many Pride Parades as possible and do a bunch of other gay stuff with my friends. I decided to start with a few Youtube mini-series for/about queer people. So, here is my Gold Star (if you get this joke, I love you) list of 9 Youtube series and movies to watch by/ about queer women.
1. Entangled with You
'Entangled with You' is this super drama filled series following the lives of a group of friends of queer women. It's silly, awkward and filled with awesome actors of color!
2. The Chanticleer
'The Chanticleer' is a bit of a throw back Thursday series. It's short, sweet and follows the life of Edie Chaucer, a bad ass lady, as she takes over her father's business. There's also some really cool gender bending in here!
3. Til Lease do us Part
Ever heard of Uhauling? Well, this is what happens when your lease lasts longer than your relationship...awkward.
4. Lipstick
Ok, I'll be honest. I was originally drawn to the series because I heard Amber from 'Amber's Closet' would be in it. But besides her, it's an interesting series about making it in the world of music and fashion.
5. Carmilla
'Carmilla' is a super cool series about 'lions, tigers and bears'. I'm kidding, but there are vampires. Yes, lesbian vampires!! Just watch it already!
6. Til Lease do us Part, Season II
Season 2 is far different from season 1, but just as good! Follow the, again awkward lives, of exes stuck in a weird living situation.
7. Last Life
'Last Life' was a new series for me. Similar to Carmilla, it mixes science-fiction with gay women and creates this really cool and ominous show that leaves you wanting more!
8. Her Story
I haven't actually watched this one. But it comes highly recommended by friends. Check it, let me know how it is!!
9. Clean Hands- short film
'Clean Hands' is an amazing short film about the intersections of queerness, family and religion. Oh and it's also a murder mystery. Wait, was that a spoiler? Oops!
