N.K. Jemisin loves to shatter the stereotypes of fantasy literature and the theme that runs through 'The Inheritance Trilogy' is the abuse of power. Those with power are regularly corrupted by it, and the real heroes in these tales are the few who can restrain themselves or even relinquish their power.

This is a tightly wound tale of a cataclysmically imploding infidelity with a distinctly gothic noire flavor. Waters is very good at her craft, but the main caution about this book is that it is not one for the optimist.

All Cheerleaders Die is a solid addition to the horror/comedy genre and is worth a viewing if you’re a fan of high school-based movies, revenge plots and black comedies.

Sailor Moon is back in two new forms for everyone to enjoy, and it remains as important and relevant as ever.

Although recently the amount of gay and lesbian characters on movies and TV have increased, comics and the comic book industry are making strides to catch up.  In the past few years alone a number of monumental events took place: Northstar married his long term non-superhero boyfriend Kyle, Hulkling and …

Jo Walton’s My Real Children is difficult to classify. Although it can be read as an alternate history (actually two alternative histories—more on that in a moment), the novel really belongs on the shelf beside the work of “literary” writers like Jonathan Franzen or Alice Munro. The book both warms and wrenches the heart as it explores feminism and gay rights, as well as war and peace. The lives of Pat and Tricia tell us much about the world in which we live and what it means to be part of a family.

The pace of 'Looking' is slow and predictable, the comedy falls flat, and there is no encouragement to keep watching. Honestly the only thing going for this show is that there are gay characters. But that's a novelty and will wear out quickly.

“I’m here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility.”

Dallas Buyers Club is a well-acted, well-made film, the exact type that one can expect during the push toward Oscar season. It just doesn’t live up to the transcendence it so desperately proclaims.

This is where we have come as a society, to the point where even a TV series which is too silly and over-edited to be called a documentary can dominate our national dialog and have us foaming at the mouth, rabid and raring for a fight.

I have no sympathy for Phil Robertson regarding the public backlash following his homophobic remarks. My sympathy goes to those who will potentially be hurt by all this and let me tell you, it ain't Robertson who, if anything, may very well profit from the publicity of this controversy more than he is hurt by it.

Fans of 'Welcome to Night Vale' were recently given a big surprise: Carlos the scientist will now be voiced by actor Dylan Marron. We chatted with Dylan recently about his response to being chosen as the new voice of Carlos and about the show itself.

One of the best depictions of a gay relationship in the media is in a surreal horror-comedy podcast that came out of nowhere and has taken iTunes by storm, "Welcome to Night Vale."

Of all the downtown New York legends, rising artists, and nightlife personas that I have interviewed, few have been as earnest, open, and welcoming as Brendan Jay Sullivan, aka DJ Vh1, the author of a forthcoming book about his friendship and early collaborations with Lady Gaga while she was still …

'The Little House That Could's narrative structure is rather thin but it provides various interesting perspectives on the various ways in which the House of Field has served as a haven for multiple generations of drag queens, transsexuals, club kids, artists and performers.
