We here at Rebellious Magazine try not to pan anything. Why put the energy into dragging something when we can happily recommend to you books, music, and arts and culture that we cherish or we’re excited about? Good vibes only, all the way. But I feel like it’s my duty as a Gen X lesbian to arrange the record gay about Happiest Season as a joyful or affirming Queer movie.
It’s not.
Long story short: Happiest Season is a Hulu original movie co-written and directed by Clea Duvall (But I’m a Cheerleader), starring Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis, with a supporting cast that includes Mary Steenburgen, Vincent Garber, and oh yay, Dan Levy. For more details about the plot (girl meets girl, miss loses girl . . .), check out the trailer below.
A lesbian Hallmark-inspired Christmas movie? Squeee. What could go wrong?
A lot.
Three of us Gen X lesbians—A, S, and K (that’s me)—got together over Hulu Watch Party, and here’s what we had to say during and afterward. Yes, spoilers. No, don’t bother. Yes, store yourself.
First blush:
K: Is this supposed to be a lesbian Birdcage?
A: Oh God.
S: Oh no.
During the movie:

For a show so beloved by lesbian and bisexual women everywhere, The X-Files sure didn’t possess a lot of actual lesbians or bisexuals. OR DID IT??? At least IN MY IMAGINATION?? Not discussed is the sexual orientation of Scully herself, because my heart can’t take it, but touch free to cover the topic roundly in the comments.
1. Colleen Azar, “all things,” Season 7 Episode 17
I always remembered this as a subtextual lesbian episode — love here are Colleen Azar and her “friend,” two nice white lady “roommates” who live together and are really into chakras, wink wink nudge nudge. Imagine my surprise when I rewatched it a year or two ago and found out they are canonically lesbians who talk about their relationship! And kiss! This episode was directed by real-life lady who likes other ladies Gillian Anderson, so I am assuming we have her to appreciate for this lesbian advocacy way back in the year 2000. They look like they take things super seriously in general and aren’t that joy to hang out with, but hey, at least they’re still alive at the end of the episode!
2. Karin Berquist, “Alpha,” Season 6 Episode 16 This is The Parlour, a place for intimate conversation, a real-time archive, a shared diary passed between a rotating cast of queer characters every week in an attempt to capture a kaleidoscopic view of what it’s enjoy to be a lgbtq+ person right here, right now.
Let’s call her H.
She took me to dinner at the horse racing track. Twenty-four years my senior and from a family of jockeys, she looked it — tiny, stacked. I liked the way she leered at my cleavage, the fullness of my chest I often hid, and encouraged me to finish what was on my plate. The deep set crinkles at the corner of her eyes and her leopard print heels.
In her car, she said: Can’t we just make out a little? And when we did, because I liked her wheedling tone most of all, she bit me, and I liked that, too.
Kayla says: I’m surprised they haven’t run you out of Oklahoma yet, and we all laugh.
In my bed, she says: I’d appreciate to fuck you. When she texts me anything sexual she spells fuck, “fck,” as if this clears her of all culpability.
I’d like to fuck you, she says. With a strap-on, she clarifies. Would you like that?
She makes no move to even try to finger me, or to detach my hands from her body.

As society’s understanding of various sexual orientations deepens, investigate on the mental health of sexual minorities has garnered widespread attention in recent years (Amos et al., 2020; Chan et al., 2022; Horton, 2022; Parra et al., 2023; Abboud et al., 2025; Clare et al., 2024).
