I’ve frequented gay bars in Melbourne, and still do, but none of them have the beating heart of lesbian community that Third Rodeo does for me.

Welcome to the last instalment of The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 2. I feel dead inside.

Welcome back to Jess Ison’s recap of The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 2, where there are sex playlists, açai bowls, and heart eyes aplenty.

I am going to review The Ultimatum: Queer Love season 2. I must confess: I tried season one, and I lasted about half an episode before the extremely problematic behaviour was too much to bear.

I thought I would be safe from the horrors of sexual violence in my queer feminist utopia. But it was within that sapphic bubble where I was assaulted.

“These poems are really just owning my different identities – Filipino, lesbian, queer – without shame.” Kaya Ortiz chats with Alex Creece.

Welcome to Phone-a-Dyke, Archer’s new queer advice column. Today’s question: Are socks lesbian culture?

Who gets to decide what is masculine and what is feminine? What if I said that frogs were feminine? That umbrellas were feminine?

“The bond between girl and horse is more like the passionate friendship described in Victorian lesbian narratives.” Monica Nolan chats to Alex Creece.

“There’s nothing more pathetic than being at a party, somebody asking what you do, and saying, ‘I’m a poet.'” Eileen Myles chats with Alex Creece.

Everywhere I turned felt like a trap that led to more confusion, doubt and shame. I wasn’t afraid of being gay – I was afraid that I was lying about it.

I got my hands on Macho Sluts as a young dyke. Reading my way through my lover’s collection of erotic literature was an initiation of sorts.

In rural places, safe spaces for queer people look different to those located in metropolitan areas.

I originally attended the Melbourne premiere of Happiest Season in 2020 at the Coburg Drive-In, alongside every Naarm lesbian with their Subarus. And I tried to blot it from my memory. I can confidently say that it is worse on a re-watch.

From Jessica Rabbit to trans music to trash television, here are Archer Magazine’s most read online pieces of 2023.

The Matildas were unofficially named the gayest team of the 32 teams who participated in the WWC: 13 of the 23-player squad are openly queer.

I took refuge in the archives of lesbian literature, which felt like the only way I could connect to my community and their history.

What a wild ride. Thanks for coming along for the journey with me. They better renew The Ultimatum: Queer Love or I’m rioting. I love gay people.

Welcome to the recap of The Ultimatum: Queer Love episodes 5-8, where we learn that love is a lie, Lexi has a hot mum, the stereotype of lesbians saying “I love you” after 2.5 weeks exists for a reason, and some people don’t shoo their dog off the bed before having sex.
