  • Meet the 1940's secretary who used office time to produce the first lesbian magazine

    3 weeks ago | nbcnews.com | Margaret Hetherman

    In 1947, Edythe Eyde was a secretary working at RKO Radio Pictures in Los Angeles. A speedy typist who often completed work ahead of schedule, her boss told her: “Well, I don’t care what you do if you get through with your work, but … don’t sit and read a magazine or knit. I want you to look busy.” The literary-minded lesbian saw an opportunity. Gay culture was largely underground, and it was difficult for “the third sex” to meet like-minded others.

  • Review Of 'Bulletproof: A Lesbian’s Guide To Surviving The Plot'

    Jan 28, 2025 | gomag.com | Margaret Hetherman

    Why do so many queer storylines end in tragedy and death? Self-described “TV junkie” and Canadian filmmaker Regan Latimer tackles this question in her insightful and highly entertaining documentary, Bulletproof: A Lesbian’s Guide to Surviving the Plot. Through a mix of archival footage, original 1960s-style animation, and interviews with industry insiders, advocates, and fans, Latimer weaves a compelling narrative about queer representation in media across the decades.
