Happy Friday!
I’m psyched to say I’ll be in Philadelphia this weekend for the 2015 LGBT Media Convening. If you care about what LGBT journalists will be talking about at all, follow along on Twitter using #LGBTMedia15. Some really great topics are being discussed this year and I will live tweet it all.

Shailene Woodley covers Elle this month and, inside, the actress repeats her mantra (she’s mentioned before) that she’s sexually fluid.
“I’m all-loving. I fall in love with people based on who they are. I never want to love like this”-Woodley holds her arms outstretched, as if to envelop you-“I always want to love like this.” She thrusts her arms behind her back, pressing her chest forward. “Heart centered, like, ‘This is who I am! And I love you if you love me for who this person is. And if not, I’ll still love you, but I ain’t fallin’ in love with you!'”
Slate writes about the femme renaissance that is happening. (Is it in L.A.? There are a lot of us here.)
WFMJ talked with Liz Feldman and BFF Jason Allen about their real life story that inspired One Big Happy. The Wall Street Journal gave the show a favorable review. And Liz Feldman also appeared on Ross Matthew‘s podcast, Straight Talk.
Rachel Potter‘s song “Jesus and Jezebel” is about acceptance and Rachel herself is LGBT ally.
Patheos has a great piece about a young girl coming out to her youth group.
Michelle Rodriguez talked Fast and the Furious 7 with Vibe.
Mic writes about Rad Women: A to Z, aka a book you need. Also at Mic, feminist tattoos, including mine. (Thanks Marcie!)
Mariah Carey is performing at the HRC Los Angeles gala this weekend.
Lesbian couples are still being told they can’t kiss in public places. Like we need a permit for it or something.
Austin just got a little gayer! The University of Texas opened its first LGBT sorority.
Just in case you happen to read this headline saying Selena Gomez might be kissing another woman in her new video, know it is very misleading. (Spoiler Alert: She kisses her own reflection in the mirror.)
Devonte Hynes and Neneh Cherry have a new music video dedicated to agender.
“When did you decide to be gay?” is really a hilarious question.
This photo from V magazine is NSFW but possibly worth it? Friday!
