MarcAurele knew he had to strike while the iron was red-hot, so he got to writing, and in just three short weeks he was bringing the show to life, complete with a number that explored the inherent musicality of that bike scene and another that featured a chorus lauding 'gay hockey players with big butts' as if they were singing a church hymn.

Under the ABS challenge system, a team begins each game with two challenges. If a player gets an umpire's call overturned, their team retains the challenge. In effect, this means a team has unlimited challenges until they get two wrong.

His writing is incredible. The characters are real. There's so much for actors to dig into. To be able to write that way and to connect with people, you're operating on a higher plane.

I'm most at peace at our place in Kangaroo Valley, a couple of hours south of Sydney - we have 12 acres of native Australian semi-rainforest. If I'm five hours into a day of trying to get rid of the weeds from a copse of trees, I'm pretty fucking happy, especially if my kids and my wife are helping me.

Queerbaiting, which was added to dictionary.com in 2023, is a term that was originally used to describe works of entertainment, like books, films or TV shows, that hint at LGBTQ+ identities or relationships between characters without ever making the characters canonically queer. It is seen as a way to gain the support of LGBTQ+ audiences without estranging anti-LGBTQ+ bigots.

While Miranda was hailed as a genius for creating the show, the actual breakout star was Leslie Odom Jr, who played Hamilton's nemesis Aaron Burr. Hugely praised for his magnetic, devilish performance, he pipped Miranda to the best actor in a musical gong at the 2016 Tony Awards.

Veteran reality producer Joel Relampagos is working on a new show inspired by Heated Rivalry, claiming he's got five closeted hockey players from around the world "ready to come out" on a series that will see them living together & training to compete in the national championships.

Valerie's thirst for fame & acclaim hasn't changed, even if the fickle entertainment industry keeps on shifting right under her feet. Still riding high off her Emmy win for the meta dramedy Seeing Red and emboldened by the recent resurgence of the sitcom format, she lands a gig leading-and executive producing-the new multi-cam sitcom How's That?!.

As soon as you say paedophile, everybody has such a strong and undeniable reaction to it. I don't think I thought that it was gonna be as controversial as it was, which is kind of foolish in retrospect.

Michael has become a must-follow voice in queer comedy thanks to his sharp observations, deeply relatable videos, and his ability to capture the messiness, humor, and contradictions of gay culture. Whether he is skewering dating apps, touring internationally, or turning dumpsters, French onion dip, and therapy into comedy gold, his work resonates because it is honest and very funny.

It's his sort-of coming out story imbued with the trauma of losing his mother Amy to ovarian cancer, told via a 2000-slide PowerPoint presentation and finished off with a genuinely impressive magic trick (Sharp was a childhood magician). On the subject of finishing, it's an abundance of sordid sex tales that fill the gaps between Sharp's god-fearing childhood in America's south, and his mother's crushing death in 2010.

I love that movie. It's the most important film I've ever been a part of. So grateful that I got to play that role and be that mom. And I hear from people, especially on flights, flight attendants will pass me a note, you know: 'Love, Simon - I saw with my parents. It really helped us have a conversation.'

YAY BROADWAY! so happy my bway debut is playing a fellow polarizing woman in this perfect musical next month I hope you will all come watch me live my dream I am SO HAPPY I CANT STOP SMILING.

"Show some royal love to Queen Dylan Mulvaney, who will be joining the #SIXBroadway 5.0 cast as Anne Boleyn," producers announced last week.

The Sundance Film Festival concludes its 2026 edition this weekend, marking its final year in its iconic home of Park City, Utah, before moving on to its new host city in Boulder, Colorado next year. As we continue to look back at the hefty legacy of queer films that premiered there over the years, this week we'll revisit a landmark lesbian drama that put a beloved '80s icon back in the spotlight, and kickstarted the career of one of the most representative filmmakers of the New Queer Cinema wave.

Tattooed on Asia Kate Dillon's neck is "einfühlung," the German word for empathy. Not only is it a pretty bad*ss tattoo, it's also a guiding principal for an actor who strives to be a conduit for empathy in all their work, whether they're playing an inmate on Orange Is The New Black, a high-powered enforcer in John Wick: Chapter 3, or a financial analyst in the Showtime drama Billions, where they made history as the first non-binary main character an a mainstream American TV show.

For as much as gays love their horror, and as many examples there are of the genre finding its haunting power through queer metaphor (from the scary subtleties of Psycho to the screamingly obvious A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge), there are relatively few mainstream horror films that actually tackle LGBTQ+ themes head-on. However, after a rapturous reception at the Sundance Film Festival, Australian supernatural fright flick Leviticus was quickly picked up for theatrical release by Neon and might just be the " queer horror masterpiece " we've been waiting for.

In the case of his latest film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, there's a scene in which a character tries in vain to close a door on Gail (Zoey Deutch) and her ragtag group of friends over and over and over again. At the movie's Sundance Film Festival premiere at the Eccles, laughter rippled across the room. It was funny, but then it kept going, and then it got funnier and funnier, the enthusiasm contagious.
