THE PERSON I THINK DOESN'T GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THEIR ACTIVISM"Something that gets lost sometimes is that activism can take many forms. I’m always blown away by stories like the one in our recent documentary A Secret Love, a story about two women living out their lives with dignity and honesty."

I'LL FEEL GOOD ABOUT HOLLYWOOD'S LGBTQ REPRESENTATION WHEN"Movies and shows stop queer-baiting and just start writing more queer characters and storylines." In touches on so many different issues, in such an eye opening way. It's contents will open up, and steal a piece of your heart. I FELT MOST PROUD TO BE PART OF THE COMMUNITY LAST YEAR WHEN"Watching the success of Lil Nas X, which has been thrilling. And watching how Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union have showed the world how to love and celebrate a gender-nonconforming child. That's really what it's all about." Joe Swanberg’s series about love, sex and relationships in Chicago includes couples and throuples of all kinds, including an episode dedicated entirely to two young women (Kiersey Clemons and Jacqueline Toboni) whose courtship is dampened only by the fact that one of them thinks she has to change who she is for things to work. In another episode, Malin Akerman and Orlando Bloom seek a third party on Tinder and end up spending the night with someone they already know (Kate Micucci). Funny, sexy and queer-inclusive, "Easy" is perfect for your next Netflix and chill. (Netflix, available now) 2. Gotham Erin Richards as Barbara Kean on "Gotham." Nicole Rivelli / FOX Tilly: They wanted to do it in one long continuous shot. They had guys pulling at the walls. It was like a ballet between the Wachowskis, the crew, [and us]. [They'd be] yelling through the megaphone, "Breast!" and then we knew the breast was in frame.I'LL FEEL GOOD ABOUT HOLLYWOOD'S LGBTQ REPRESENTATION WHEN"As much representation as there is, there are very few big gay love stories. I’d love one." I'LL FEEL GOOD ABOUT HOLLYWOOD'S LGBTQ REPRESENTATION WHEN "There are more LGBTQ people in the executive suites because that’s where it starts." At this point — seven Emmys (including two for outstanding structured reality program) and a fifth season that drops June 5 on Netflix — it no longer seems fair to refer to them strictly as "The Fab Five." Berk, Brown, France, Porowski and Van Ness have each developed his own side hustle while remaining committed to advancing causes of inclusivity, positivity and community in books and other TV projects. Tilly: Gina had weights on the set, so before a scene she would work out [with] weights to make her muscles [bigger].

THE TOP OF MY QUARANTINE BINGE LIST" Feel Good. My good friend Ally Pankiw directed it. And my fellow Canadian Mae Martin wrote and stars in it. Lesbian female director directing a lesbian hero in a story is the perfect remedy to a down day in quarantine." Now in its seventh season, the popular post-apocalyptic zombie takeover boasts a lesbian character in Tara Chambler (Alanna Masterson) but sadly killed off her girlfriend, Denise, with an arrow to the eye. Tara hasn’t been given her due yet on the show, but hopefully she’ll at least stay alive this year, even if she’s not given much screen time. (AMC, premieres Sunday Oct. 23, 9/8c) Gershon: I'm doing the pipes. I was a little paranoid. I'm definitely not good at any of that stuff, so I just needed to be convincing…I kind of got into it. It's so dirty and messy, and you're shoving this thing in the plug. It was fun. I just wanted to look cool, like I knew what I was doing. I liked all the physical activity. It just made me feel like I was doing all the things that I wish I knew in real life. I remember my mom said, "You're a really good actress." I asked, "Why?" She said, "Because I believed the plumbing stuff." I FIRST FELT REPRESENTED WHEN I SAW"The coming-out arc of Dr. Callie Torres — played by the brilliant Sara Ramirez — on Grey's Anatomy."

LGBTQ STORY I'D LOVE TO SEE ONSCREEN"Would feature gay women of color living and loving in a three-dimensional way, without the imposition of politics." THE PERSON I THINK DOESN'T GET ENOUGH CREDIT FOR THEIR ACTIVISM"[Activist] Sir Lady Java. Her self-advocacy in the 1960s, years before the Stonewall uprising, set a blueprint for us to fight for our right to show up in spaces unapologetic and proud."

While her banner has been marred by financial woes, Ellison remains one of the most prominent producers of director-driven features. Notoriously press-shy, she is not an outspoken member of the LGBTQ community, but she has boosted films led by queer characters, including such recent features as Olivia Wilde's Booksmartand Miranda July's Kajillionaire, and hired other queer women among a diverse staff. I FIRST FELT REPRESENTED WHEN I SAW"As someone who identifies as nonbinary, I’m realizing I don’t think I ever felt represented as a kid — especially because I thought of myself as cis and female at the time. TV mostly made me feel like I wasn’t enough and reinforced a more awful, awkward prism of how women are valued for beauty over most anything else."The SOE’s leaders were readier than the old boys of MI5 and MI6, the foreign-intelligence agency, to grant that women enjoyed certain advantages. Many French men had been sent to labor camps in Germany, so women operatives were better able to blend in with a mostly female population. As Sarah Rose writes in D-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II, a British captain who recruited three female SOE agents, Selwyn Jepson, believed that women were psychologically suited to behind-enemy-lines work—“secretive, accustomed to isolation, possessed of a ‘cool and lonely courage.’ ” Some officers thought women had greater empathy and caretaking instincts, which equipped them to recruit and support ordinary citizens as agents. Women were considered good couriers—a high-risk role—because they could rely on ingratiation and seeming naïveté as tools in tight spots. The war also provided openings for women to show that they could execute operations, making strategic life-and-death decisions. In some cases, women had their own blinkered views of female leadership to overcome. Barely 30 when she was recruited in 1940, Fourcade had lived abroad, and relished the liberated environment of 1930s Paris. Still, she was astonished when “Navarre,” the code name for Georges Loustaunau-Lacau, asked her to be his deputy. Being a woman surely ruled her out, she protested to the World War I hero, who was secretly mobilizing citizens worried by Nazi aggression in Europe. That was precisely why she would be above suspicion, he told her. “Good God—it’s a woman!” cried another recruit, who became one of her most trusted aides. After Navarre was arrested in Algiers in 1941, Fourcade became the undisputed leader of Alliance.
