Nestled within that outrageousness was swift promotion of her beautiful new short film, A Friend of Dorothy. In it, she plays Dorothy, an elderly widow with limited mobility who meets young, closeted queer man JJ (played with startling fragility by newcomer Alistair Nwachukwu) after he accidentally kicks his football into her garden. A friendship blossoms, as they provide a sense of belonging and stability to one another at a time when, despite their different life stages, both are feeling cast adrift.
Raine and Dumas, 24 and 26 respectively, share an Instagram account - @bigupsofficial - where they posted a reel of highlights from their time together already on Sunday (7 December). Captioned, "From day one.. to everything time can't erase," the reel is set to Charli XCX's "Everything is romantic feat. Caroline Polachek." The video sees the two sharing many a sweet moment including kisses, dinners, beach days, and the two attending a London screening of Johnson's latest film, The Smashing Machine, in September.

Lee was a pillar in Ole Miss' LGBTQ+ community, known for his creative fashion and makeup, and for performing as drag queen Jay Divaa in Oxford's drag night. At just 20 years old, he had already graduated from the university and was pursuing a masters degree. Police believed that Lee, who was 20 at the time of his death, was murdered, but the whereabouts of his body were unknown.
Through all of this, one of the most important things I've learned is that success on the court isn't just about physical skill - it's about discovering your personality and staying true to yourself,

The Alabama Public Library Service Board of Directors approved a rule Thursday that orders the removal of content related to "transgender procedures, gender ideology or the concept of more than two biological genders" from children's and young adult sections across the more than 200 libraries in its system. The directive bans all "sexually explicit or other material deemed inappropriate" from youth sections, though it does not define sexually explicit content.
But, curiously, the singer chose to perform an acoustic cover of Chappell Roan's gay bar-themed hit Pink Pony Club, widely considered to be an LGBTQ anthem because it describes a young woman who finds self-acceptance in a place where she feels free from her strict upbringing. Chappell Roan arrives at the 67th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025, in Los Angeles.
"I've gotten to a place where I don't need the show financially," she said. "I'm lucky to have other forms of employment, because it's no longer good for my mental health." According to Stause, show creator Adam DiVello has been calling and texting "100 times a day," but she's at a point now where even "Jesus Christ himself" couldn't get her to come back for a tenth season.
"Sometimes the calendar gets in the way of the celebration, which is why my NBC family and I decided this winter was time for us all to focus on the Olympics. "But don't worry, we'll party together bigger and better later in 2026. Ya dig,"
I am a queer man of color in my mid-20s. I grew up in a mostly white, conservative, rural town. It was hellish growing up there, dealing with constant microaggressions, racism, and homophobia. Even though I was not out of the closet at the time, I was constantly clocked as being gay and ridiculed as a result. Despite this, I had some incredibly close friends who were a godsend during that time.
A San Francisco drag queen has been released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), after being detained for three months, and granted asylum. Hilary Rivers was released on 20 September after being arrested by ICE agents outside an immigration court on 26 June, a day after competing at the annual Miss and Mr Safe Latino pageant. The drag queen spoke to El Tecolote and 48 Hills about the violence she endured while in detention, and about her fight for freedom.
"I certainly never set out to make anything that was propaganda and I reject the idea that it is. What I would invite people to do is to watch and see how they feel about the questions the show is trying to provoke. We were on an emotional mission. There's politics involved in all of these questions: what's happening to trans people now, and the policies that are being inflicted on trans service members."
My doctors have told me that it isn't safe to perform due to the need for vocal rest and physical recovery. I truly appreciate how much time, planning and preparation goes into coming to a show. I can't describe to you how sorry I am to have to move things around. I love you all and will see you soon.
"This is not something for the history of LGBTQ+ people that we're unfamiliar with," she said. "We know there are targets sometimes to our persons and to our community spaces and buildings."
Now the band has shared a new music video for their song "Gabriela" which sees each member of the band recreate an iconic Mariah look. The band are asked the same question as before, this time by Bowen Yang, before showing off their looks. After a lengthy intro, the video then switches to "Gabriela" for which the band are all dressed in rainbow tank tops, white shorts, and black boots harking back to Mariah's Rainbow album cover look.
Kiss of the Spider Woman still lives in my head, days after seeing it: the swirling colors, deep love, survival under torture, Technicolor dreams, amazing moments of Marilyn meeting J Lo, and its gutsy art combined with heartbreaking physical connection. This film blew my mind, but left me with a question: How did it ever get made? The movie will totally divide the audience and lose a ton of money, but those fortunate enough to get it will be rewarded by memories and emotion.
