[NEWS] Five LGBTQ links: Judy Garland, The Kids in The Hall, The Wire, Tumblr, TV

[rfmcdonald]

• JSTOR Daily considers the question of whether the movie A Star Is Born made Judy Garland a gay icon.


• Daily Xtra shares a first-person account telling the truth about how The Kids in The Hall gave young queer audiences an idea that escape is possible. (It was for me.)


• This Daily Xtra account shares one watcher's account of learning to accept being black and gay by watching The Wire.


• Tumblr, Daily Xtra notes, is still a powerful platform that allows queer people to meet.


• We really should, as this VICE interview notes, be watching more queer TV.
