The babysitters club gay

My two favorite parts are a link to a list I somehow missed of all BSC books ranked by gayness and also quotes from both myself what!? So a little full circle loop there. The baby-sitters, they are all gay. Every day I pray for this. Every day. And to wrap us up, how club our always brilliant Autostraddle Managing Editor Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya with some in-depth entertainment reporting for Refinery29?

That stuck babysitter me. Carmen Phillips is Autostraddle's former editor in chief. She began at Autostraddle in as a freelance team writer and worked her way up through the company, eventually becoming the EIC from A Black Puerto Rican feminist writer with a PhD in American Studies from New York University, Carmen specializes in writing about Blackness, race, queerness, politics, culture, and the many ways we find community and connection with each other.

During her time at Autostraddle, Carmen focused on pop culture, TV and film reviews, criticism, interviews, and news analysis. She claims many past homes, but left the largest parts of her heart in Detroit, Brooklyn, and Buffalo, NY. To reach out, you can find Carmen on TwitterInstagramor her website.

Did I miss something…? Is she queer? Sometimes a role fits a person, and Carden is excellent as Greta. She got the role because of her relationship with Abbi Jacobsen, which, fine. I have no issue with it. I think trans representation is a bit different, as the gay says. Totally agree. I will say though, I get excited when queer roles are played by queer actors!

Personally, I do not mind straight actors the queer roles. Queer actors would still be overlooked if they were not out. And it would feel pretty gross if someone felt pressured into coming out just to get a part.

No one is winning in that situation. I think this is less of an issue if there were more queer show runners, writers, casting directors, and producers. Queer or not no one Bette Porters better than Jennifer Beals. People have proven to be unreliable when it comes to policing themselves. Oh wow I had those edible pop-rocks the other week as there was special on them at the place I go to.
