What’s hotter than one Women Crush? How about 50!
These days the timeline is inundated with gender wars, toxic masculinity, arguments across the diaspora, but what keeps us sane over here at Madamenoire is the fact that we have Wednesdays to look forward to. A time to search the timeline for the beautiful queer queens who continue to top the list that we have been curating for almost a year.
Not only will you find our usual suspects like Janelle Monáe, Willow Smith, and the bisexual baddie, Keke Palmer in the weekly round-ups, but this is also for the lawyers, WNBA players, teachers, creatives, you name it, who continue to take up space by simply existing.
Once upon a time, they were overlooked, or glossed over, but Women Crush Wednesday is all about giving credit where credit is absolutely due. So while the timeline continues to sort out and pick apart the things that they claim not to care about, we’re leaning all the way into the ones who don’t have to do a single thing, but be the beautiful queer queens that they are to make our weekly list.
Check out 50 of the hottest queer queens occupying time and space in our hearts this week and beyond!
