Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara
This one’s for the queers who spent the early 2000s refreshing Tumblr dashboards and memorizing every lyric to So Jealous. Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara is a wild ride through internet obsession, identity, and the strange parasocial relationships that can spiral into something much darker. This new documentary unpacks the unbelievable true story of a woman who spent years impersonating Tegan Quin online—deceiving fans and even her own romantic partner in the process.
Directed with both empathy and edge, Fanatical doesn’t just rely on shock value. Instead, it unpacks how online spaces have always served as both sanctuaries and danger zones for LGBTQ+ folks looking to connect. It’s eerie, gripping, and deeply human, filled with archival footage, thoughtful interviews, and some hard truths about how fandom and fixation can twist into something sinister. Whether you’re a longtime Tegan and Sara fan or just fascinated by queer internet history, this is a must-watch that’ll stay with you.
Where to watch?Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara is available to stream on Hulu, Disney+, and Paramount+.
I Kissed a Girl
Move over, basic dating shows, I Kissed a Girl is here to bring sapphic joy to your screen, one flirtatious challenge at a time. This Hulu series is the follow-up to the UK’s I Kissed a Boy, and it turns the classic reality dating formula on its head by centering queer women, nonbinary folks, and masc-presenting contestants in a villa made for love, drama, and unapologetic lesbian visibility.
Hosted by the ever-iconic Dannii Minogue (yes, really), I Kissed a Girl is serving us confessionals, sizzling chemistry, late-night tears, and pure queer joy in a space that finally feels like it was made for us. It’s reality TV with heart—refreshingly honest and emotionally resonant while still being, well, wildly entertaining. And as queer viewers, there’s something deeply moving about seeing LGBTQ+ people get to flirt, mess up, make up, and maybe even fall in love, all on their own terms.
Where to watch? I Kissed a Girl is streaming on Hulu.
Lie With Me by Philippe Besson
There’s a reason Lie With Me continues to haunt readers long after the final page. Translated beautifully from the original French by Molly Ringwald (yes, that Molly Ringwald from Sixteen Candles), Philippe Besson’s novel is a lyrical, devastating meditation on first love between two teenage boys in 1980s rural France—one open, the other closeted, both forever changed.
Told with aching clarity and an almost dreamlike softness, Lie With Me captures the kind of youthful queer romance that so many of us never got to have, or still can’t speak about out loud. It’s about fleeting moments that mark us for life, the love that shapes us even when it’s buried deep, and the heartbreak of looking back and wondering what could’ve been. If you’re in the mood to cry quietly in a sunbeam or get emotionally wrecked on a park bench, this one’s got your name all over it.
Where to buy? Lie With Me is available to purchase at all reputable booksellers.
