Raven-Symoné has disappeared on Empire, but she’s got a new gig: She’ll be playing Dre’s lesbian sister on Black-ish! EW reports her character is:
“…just as uncomfortable talking about her sexuality as Dre is. The two have a playful rivalry in which they jockey for position in their mother’s (recurring guest star Jenifer Lewis) rankings that are released every December. Yet, despite her closeness to Dre, she just won’t be the first one to bridge the sexuality gap between them. She’s happy to follow her older brother’s lead. “
On Instagram she said she “went to set like this,” so this could be her character’s look!

Elixher got up close and personal with Monifah, who said she wants to clarify that she identifies as bisexual, “or same-gender-loving woman in the LGBTQ community.” She’s such an out and proud R&B Diva. I love her!
Vogue‘s Karley Sciortino praised Cara Delevingne for:
“publicly dating a woman and never cav[ing] to any pressure to define what that meant-it was just like, yeah, I’m with a girl now, whatever. It perfectly trivialized our culture’s obsession with labels, and relayed the message that love is about people, not about gender, in the most casual yet powerful way. If you ask me, she’s the perfect role model for the post-label future, where people love by a new set of rules.”

The New Republic calls The Millionaire Matchmaker‘s Patti Stanger a feminist in the same article where she says this:
“I’m not anti-feminist. But I’m not, like, a lesbian granola-muncher from San Francisco.”

Out comic Judy Gold says she’s being pressured by friends and family to marry her long time partner.
“I think it’s ridiculous, but I haven’t done it yet. Oh my God! Remember when you were in your 20s and everyone’s like, ‘When are you getting married?’ Now we’re in our ’50s and everyone is like, ‘When are you getting married? When are you getting married? When are you getting married?’

“A girl came up to me and she was crying as if I were a Beatle, and I said, “Oh no, no, no! Don’t cry, it’s okay; my name is Alanna! So nice to meet you.” Like I’m a normal person, what’s up? I want them to know that I’m not any different than them, I just worked my ass off to book a job and get to where I am. No one handed me anything in my life, which, a lot of people, no one hands them anything.
