Feature Friday: 6 LGBTQ+ Twitter Users That Work In The Television Industry That You Should Probably

They’re here, they’re queer, and they have Twitter accounts that are worth a follow.

1. Richard Lawson (@rilaws)

A film critic for Vanity Fair, Lawson’s snarky pop culture commentary makes him a must-follow for pretty much anyone who consumes media. While his focus with Vanity Fair is on film, he tweets out pleeeenty of opinions on television.

2. Rachel Maddow (@maddow)

Lauded for being the first openly gay anchor to host a prime-time news program in the United States, Maddow’s intelligence and wit will bring both humor and political savviness to your timeline.

3) Sarah Paulson (@MsSarahPaulson)

When she’s not busy winning awards, Paulson is on Twitter talking about the junk food she’s eating, commenting on politics, sending cute af tweets to girlfriend Holland Taylor (@HollandTaylor), and politely asking fans to stop calling her ‘mom.’

4) Laverne Cox (@lavernecox)

Known best for her role as Sofia Burset in Orange Is The New Black, Cox uses her platform and passion to advocate for trans people and other marginalized groups.

5) Paula Pell (@perlapell)

A delightful combination of self-deprecation and women’s empowerment, this long-time SNL writer’s tweets are as relatable as they are inspiring.

6) Chris Kelly (@imchriskelly)

I'd give someone $10 if they can scroll through this SNL writer’s tweets without laughing out loud ($20 if they don’t even crack a smile).

I’d give out loud ($20 if they don’t even crack a smile).
