QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice job on this article, and just in time for Pride Month! This nom mostly looks good although there are a couple issues. The sourcing could be tightened up a bit, we probably shouldn't cite the author's website unless absolutely necessary (which I don't think it is). Adding some more secondary sources would also help. I found AfterEllen and Curve but there may be other. The first hook is interesting but the other two are a bit wordy and not very unique. I think you could make them punchier by condensing them and adding a twist. BuySomeApples (talk) 03:34, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BuySomeApples: I replaced one of them with independent sourcing, but the author's website refs are fine per WP:ABOUTSELF. I've added the AfterEllen ref but I'm not doing the same for Curve because it is a reprint of the Lesbians on the Loose source. I'll look at the other hooks only if there is an issue with ALT0, which there isn't. I'll be out for a while, but I'll work more on this. ミラP@Miraclepine 22:23, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for working on this @Miraclepine: I struck the ALT hooks since you're OK with ALT0. I appreciate you replacing one of the refs to the author's site. It's definitely OK to reference primary sources a little. I think this nom looks solid enough now though, because the primary sources are only used a handful of times and for non-controversial info.
