Watchmicroaggressions:
Homophobic Friends, a video montage of homophobic microaggressions on the television show Friends. Check out Bitch Magazine for more on this video.
As a child, I watched Friends religiously every Thursday with my mother. A year or two ago, I watched a rerun for nostalgia’s sake and was startled by how many offensive, homophobic jokes were made within one episode. Thanks...

Dr. Means, a strange and fascinating character herself, is a Wichita native who started her career as a physician looking...

“I am incredibly grateful to The Village Voice for their story, but they blew the whistle on something sex workers already knew, and it hurts that they didn’t acknowledge what we were saying for months: Kutcher and Moore aren’t interested in being allies, they’re interested in being heroes, and those two desires are mutually exclusive.

- The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III) is one of the most innovative albums in years.
- Her signature style – she only wears tuxedos when she works.
- Statements like these: “I want to celebrate our differences more and do away with these categories. When I have children I really want them to...
