Okay, so you know Hayley Kiyoko, right? Queen. Icon. Lesbian Jesus — yes, that is literally what her fans call her, and honestly? She EARNED that title. Back in 2015, she dropped a music video called Girls Like Girls — ‘girls like girls like boys do’ — and if you are a queer woman of a certain age, that song probably changed your LIFE.
It got 163 million views on YouTube. One hundred and sixty-three MILLION. The people were hungry. So Hayley did what any self-respecting lesbian icon does — she wrote a novel, she fought Hollywood for TEN YEARS, and she said you know what? I’m directing this movie myself. And this week — Girls Like Girls is in theaters NATIONWIDE
