Good morning!

We’re having an AfterEllen karaoke meet-up in NYC next Wednesday. Come hang out!

Fortune sent a reporter to cover Lesbians in Tech.

Brazil Ecojourneys is putting together Lesbian Surf Camp. How cool is that? (p.s. remember Curl Girls?)

Sundance winner The Summer of Sangaile has found a U.S. distributor! Strand Releasing will release the film in the summer, of course.

Outsports talked with Shannon Miller about the homophobia she has faced as an out gay hockey coach.

A mom admits she once yelled at her OB-GYN that she “shouldn’t be a lesbian” because she was being rough during delivery. (For the record, she wasn’t a lesbian.)

TheTVJunkies writes about The 100‘s cool views on sexuality. And showrunner Jason Rothenberg talked with Collider about Clexa.

Ruby Rose is heading out to sea with OlaGirls.

HyperAllergic goes inside the super cool Alison Bechdel exhibit at University of Michigan.

Raven-Symoné talked to the Hollywood Reporter about her return to Empire last night, and talked about Jamal’s coming out storyline.

I think that’s what Lee Daniels does best: shining a light on stories and situations that society sweeps under the rug. People can live a long time in heterosexual relationships on the outside when they’re actually homosexual on the inside. They may come out later in their years because they were afraid or they had no one to look up to to help them, and I think having this show helps. It helps show the fluidity of sex. Nowadays I don’t really want to be labeled either way, but I want people to understand what I’m talking about. Sex is fluid, and Jamal and Olivia did have sex once!
