Admitting you have a ghosting problem is the first step, right? A self-described “serial ghoster,” whom we’ll nickname Casper, recently became aware of his bad habit and asked fellow members of Reddit’s r/askgaybros community for help changing his ways.Casper wrote:I only now just realized I am a serial ghoster. It was only after a guy called me out on my bullsh*t, and after ghosting so many guys on Grindr just for the validation that they would have potentially hooked up with me, that I realized that I am a coward and have a ghosting problem. For too long I have felt that ghosting was the easy way out, and that since I was being ghosted, it was okay to ghost others.

Covered head-to-toe in a black burka, a delicate figure stands at the door of Pot Kettle Black in Manchester’s Angel Gardens as the start of Lady Gaga’s Alice blares out from the speakers. But within seconds, the traditional garment is ripped apart to reveal an almost too-lifelike impersonation of Boris Johnson hiding beneath.

Home movie enthusiasts, take note: Those old videos could be worth some big money one day!Rare footage of a mock gay wedding on Fire Island recently sold for a whopping $980 on eBay. The footage, taken sometime in the 1960s, shows two men–one in a wedding dress–undergoing a marriage rite before a group of joyful onlookers.The same reel also shows two men in speedos wrestling, men in swimsuits hanging out by a pool, and another scene of men engaging in some kind of… bondage play?Before you get too excited, the eBay listing specifies that the film contains no footage of sexually explicit acts.

I’ve lived in New York, Philadelphia, LA, and San Francisco—two blocks from the corner of Castro and Market—so I’ve seen my share of well-funded, high-style Pride celebrations. I wondered what I’d find at the second annual Pocono Pride Fest in Stroudsburg, PA (population 27,000), close to where I’ve been holing up since the pandemic began.I was there with a message: My super-progressive Episcopal church not only “accepts” LGBTQ people, we celebrate them.

Despite being the star of blockbuster hits like The Matrix and John Wick, Keanu Reeves seems to be more notable for the sexuality-related rumors surrounding him. Many fans have questioned Reeves’ decision to stay unmarried at the age of 57, which leaves most of them wondering: is Keanu Reeves gay?Despite an all-female dating history involving stars like Sandra Bullock, Winona Ryder, and Claire Forlani, fans can’t seem to shake the idea that Reeves might be hiding something about his sexuality.

While the pandemic put an enormous strain on the film and television industry, things are finally getting back to where they used to be, but things are even gayer!With Sapphic vampires, queer Pride and Prejudice retellings, reboots of queer classics, and so much more, this Pride Month may just have a little something for everyone.While the original versions of Queer as Folk took the LGBTQ+ community by storm, the original incantations truly only showed a very white, cis-gender side of the queer community, which the new reboot aims to change. In the same fashion as the original, the reboot will be a very queer show that doesn’t stray away from serious topics, including what seems to be a Pulse-shooting inspired plot, but promises to center on queer joy.Fin Argus, Devin Way, Johnny Sibilly, Ryan O'Connell, Candace Grace, and Jesse James Keitel will lead the reboot, with Benito Skinner, Kim Catrall, and more set to guest star. While only time will tell the impact this reboot will have, let's hope it captures queer magic like its predecessors. A girl next-in-line to fill her monster hunting family’s shoes finds herself in love with a girl who happens to be a vampire. If you are a former Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan like myself, then your ears probably perked up, for good reason. The trailer for the show sets up a war between two families destined to be enemies with the sapphic yearning amped up to the max, making this one another to add to the watch list.While Halloween is not for some time, sapphic star-crossed lovers are timeless.One of the most anticipated queer films in recent years, Fire Island takes Pride and Prejudice and lets it take a huff of poppers while wearing only a jockstrap dancing to Lady Gaga, which frankly

What's in store for today? Your daily horoscope for Saturday, June 11, 2022Man, 44, arrested after boy, 15, killed and mum wounded in Manchester stabbingMan City star speaks out on speculation he will replace Frenkie de Jong at BarcelonaSomewhere among them may have been a shy young woman uncertain about her sexuality, hoping that no-one she knew saw her there, but I like to think that times have changed, and mostly for the better.That young woman today can see role models in almost all areas of life, including LGBTQ+ actors appearing in our best loved soaps, who are able to work and be celebrated for who they are.Of course, prejudice and injustice still remain, and our fight continues, but Pride shows us that there is strength in sharing the love and holding each other’s hands.So, Happy Pride everyone. I look forward to seeing you all there.

For the second time this spring, a New York City institution is facing a backlash over a conservative Jewish conference, long in the planning, because of one of its featured speakers: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida. In May, the Museum of Jewish Heritage backed out of a tentative rental agreement to host the event.

https://t.co/f8qA6YRI8I— Chasten Buttigieg (@Chasten) April 4, 2022On Monday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten shared details about their twins’ first day in daycare.While Pete Buttigieg mentioned all “the bottles… little jars of baby food… spoons” and everything else that parents rely on to raise kids, Chasten Buttigieg merely tweeted, “If anyone saw me walking around Target looking a little confused and sad earlier today now you know.”Of course, Pete and Chasten Buttigieg are just one of several famous gay couples raising kids.The actor couple’s twins — a son named Gideon and a daughter named Harper — were born via surrogate in October 2010.“We live up in Harlem so they see a ton of stuff, and they’re exposed to stuff at a young age,” Burka said in an Us magazine interview.

James Juanillo, surrounded by boxes of chalk and standing on the chalk outline of a large calendar drawn on the sidewalk beneath him June 9, is hanging around outside the large Victorian he shares with several friends. Juanillo is throwing a chalk art protest, a notably more chill event than had occurred there before, two years ago to the day.Neighbors in the Pacific Heights neighborhood where Juanillo lives had been stopping by throughout the afternoon, helping him fill in the days of the calendar with chalk-drawn pictures of hearts, flowers, messages of love, and a reminder to passersby to vote in November.

Please stand by for a special public service announcement: By the end of the weekend, Jennifer Hudson could achieve EGOT status.Whether you’re a theater gay, one of those queers who keeps better track of awards nominees than their exes, or both, we would like you to know that pundits are predicting the former American Idol contestant could earn a Tony Award during this weekend’s 75th annual ceremony, thus completing the legendary awards “quadfecta” made up of an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony.And while we don’t doubt Hudson could easily win a performance Tony one day, she’s actually highly favored to earn gold this year for producing. That’s because the Dreamgirl is one of many big names behind the critically adored A Strange Loop, the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical from Michael R.

Texas, a small town is rallying around a gay couple and their daughter following vandalism to their home during Pride Month.Someone set fire to several rainbow flags on the family’s property near Dallas on June 2. But, as the family refuses to give up, the rural community is showing them great kindness, and the police chief is devoting significant resources to finding the perpetrator.Keith Dowler, 51, and Terry Garner, 54, knew they had to make trade-offs to live in Corsicana and commute to Dallas.

Swallowed, a young gay man learns that lesson the hard way. From director Carter Smith—the filmmaker behind 2008’s squirm-inducing The Ruins—comes a shocking new indie thriller that will make you think twice before swallowing.Cooper Koch (the upcoming They/Them) stars as Benjamin, a guy who just wants to enjoy one more night of fun with his straight friend and unrequited crush, Dom (newcomer Jose Colon) before heading off to LA to pursue a career in the gay adult film industry.Things take a turn for the dangerous when they’re roped into a drug running scheme by the shady Alice (Jena Malone, reuniting with Smith and giving the film its biggest dose of star power).

Melanie’s at Griffith’s Tavern doesn’t claim to be any better than other bars in its Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. But, perhaps, that is because it expects patrons to walk in with the same attitude. This is thanks to its new owners, Hannah Spangler and Allison Crowley, who bought and partially renamed the place two months ago. Before their purchase, Griffith’s Tavern was a neighborhood dive bar for nearly 100 years, catering primarily to straight men. It was a space where guys could sip on cheap canned beers while the bar’s previous owner Rick Koehler ensured all of his customers had enough ice.

Same-sex marriage has never been more popular in the United States than it is today, according to a recent poll. According to Gallup’s annual Value and Beliefs poll – taken every year during the month of May – 71 percent of Americans claim they support marriage, besting the previous high of 70 percent recorded in 2021.When Gallup first began the poll back in 1996, only 27 percent of Amercians supported gay marriage. Despite this dismal first poll, support for same-sex nuptials would steadily rise in the subsequent years.

No June gloom here! Pride month is in full force and it’s never been easier to (literally) wear your heart on your sleeve while supporting the LGBTQIA+ community!

WBFF.However, individual students will still be allowed to express their free speech rights by displaying so-called “political materials” or messages — including Pride flags — on their clothing.  The ban on flag displays was imposed in response to an April donation from a parent, Stephanie Brown, who distributed a small collection of rainbow flags to every public school in the county.

Broadway bounced back with a vengeance this year, defying the pandemic with electrifying production numbers and more swabs than a health clinic the week after Pride. Covid be damned: nothing can take down the theater.Of course, no Broadway season would be complete without some unanticipated scandals. Here’s a look at five memorable — or forgetful — happenings from this Broadway season.Never mind that Richard Greenberg’s Take Me Out received four well-deserved Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Revival of a Play.

“Rufus Does Judy at Capitol Studios,” that dropped on Friday — exactly 100 years after his iconic idol was born on June 10, 1922.It’s the second Garland tribute LP by the 48-year-old art-pop artist, after 2007’s “Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall.” And also on Friday, he’ll fête the Hollywood legend — who died on June 22, 1969 — with the last night of this week’s “Rufus Does Judy at City Winery” residency in Chelsea.Here, Wainwright shares how he discovered Garland, what she means to him as a gay man, and why Pride Month is the perfect time to honor her.Obviously Judy Garland has meant so much to you throughout your life. How did you first get exposed to Judy?Well, “The Wizard of Oz” was a kind of yearly TV event that would occur around Easter usually.

Christina Aguilera is opening about what being an LGBTQ+ ally means, revealing that she feels supported and connected to the queer community and gives them credit for her succesful career in the music industry.The iconic singer, who will be headlining L.A. Pride this weekend, says she has been “proud to put a spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community” throughout her career, including with her ‘Beautiful’ music video, “which features a gay couple, as well as a trans woman.”“I wasn’t thinking too much about it beyond wanting to show people owning who they are.

video to the right-wing platform Rumble. In the video — which touches on a number of topics and conspiracy theories popular among the right-wing, including the Religious Right and people with anti-government views — Jackson starts off with a rant about Pride Month, calling homosexuality “unnatural” and “disgusting.”In the video, first flagged in a June 7 rundown by Right Wing Watch, a project of People for the American Way that reports on right-wing falsehoods and extremism, Jackson urges Christians to speak out against homosexuality as sinful and even to ridicule it. He says Christians must do this in order to get their message across that fornication of any kind — including homosexual behavior — is immoral and counter to God’s plan.“Pride Month is in full swing,” Jackson says.

my Queer identity and the character was moulded around that once I had been cast. Sah wasn’t non-binary until I came along, which goes to show that Casualty weren’t just ticking a diversity box when they hired a non-binary actor, which is super affirming. In my head, Sah’s gender identity isn’t as solid or realised as mine is, probably because they just haven’t had the time or brainspace to consider or explore it more than they already have.

The Ministry of Health for the Mexican state of Jalisco has issued a warning over monkeypox aimed at anyone who visited a gay beach club in Puerto Vallarta last week.In a statement posted in stilted English on the department's Facebook page Wednesday, June 8, the department wrote, "In Jalisco, we have strengthened surveillance to detect monkeypox cases on time and help provide timely attention.

Girls5eva return for a second season in #AlbumMode, and Pride has the exclusive release of their “Big Pussy Energy” remixes!  Influenced by Kylie Minogue's worldwide dance/pop classic “Can’t Get You Outta My Head” the radio and extended club remixes of “Big Pussy Energy” are produced by Eric Kupper and executive produced by Brad Mason LeBeau.  Peacock’s Girls5eva tells the story of a ‘90s one-hit-wonder girl group reunited for one last shot at living their dreams, but this time on their own terms.

As previously mentioned, Harry Styles filmed his first (of many?) gay sex scenes for the hotly anticipated film My Policeman, directed by Michael Grandage. Styles’ fans are so hyped up over the project, a couple of mostly forgettable production stills sent Twitter into a tailspin.Still, count us among those excited to see the movie when it arrives October 21, and not just for that sex scene. But since we’re on the topic…In a Vanity Fair interview published Thursday, Grandage opened up about how he approached those intimate moments with Styles, who plays a closeted police officer in the 1950s.Grandage described the film’s lovemaking “in the broadest sense of the word, something that was choreographically interesting and not just some kind of thrusting sense of sex going on.”Is it getting hot in here or is it just choreographically interesting?!Grandage added that the scenes looked to the “very sculptural” 1959 Alain Resnais film Hiroshima Mon Amour for visual inspiration.So we’re imagining something like the first 90 seconds of the film, but make it gay, and ideally less evocative of nuclear tragedy:“These two men, when they’re together, seem to be free,” Grandage said of the film’s protagonists, Tom (Styles) and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson).

ORLANDO, Fla. — Last Friday evening, about 6,000 people — almost all of them gay men — poured into a Walt Disney World water park near Orlando, Fla. Each had spent $100 or more on tickets for a private, adults-only Pride bacchanal called Riptide.

This is fun, though the continued success of Paris Hilton should serve as a reminder that cancel culture does not exist.

Pride month is here and it’s time to celebrate! And what better way to do it than listening to some of our favorite queer artists.

In a revealing piece written for The Metro, ex-Love Island contestant Sharon Gaffka opened up on her time in the villa and coming out as bisexual on the show last year.

Texas labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center delivered a sermon calling for the government execution of LGBTQ+ folks, and it’s not the first time he’s made such disturbing calls for violence.In his sermon entitled, Why We Won’t Shut Up, Dillon Awes of the Stedfast Baptist Church in Hurst said gay men were predatory pedophiles who have either committed sex crimes against a child or just haven’t had the opportunity to do so yet, leading him to the conclusion that “We need to put these people to death through the proper channels of the government.”Awes claimed the Bible’s solution to what he called the “sodomite deception” is queer people “should be lined up against the wall and shot in the back of the head.”“What does God say is the answer, is the solution for the homosexual in 2022, here in the New Testament, here in the book of Romans? That they are worthy of death,” Awes said. “Every single homosexual in our country should be charged with a crime, the abomination of homosexuality that they have, they should be convicted in a lawful trial, they should be sentenced to death, they should be lined up against a wall and shot in the back of the head.” Awes and the Stedfast Baptist Church are in the midst of an anti-Pride month where he visits various local churches and organizations celebrating Pride, and filming himself calling these churches blasphemous and tools of satan. Last month, another preacher at the church, Jonathan Shelley, made the news for his call to commit violence against LGBTQ+ people.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticWatching the trailer for “First Kill,” it was tempting to assume that Netflix’s new teen show got lost on its way to The CW. After watching the actual episodes, however, it’s necessary to apologize to The CW for the insult to a genre it’s done well for years, and which “First Kill” spends an inordinate amount of energy trying to duplicate without much success.Based on the short story by V.E. Schwab, who also wrote the first episode and produces the series, “First Kill” dutifully sets up its YA supernatural show bingo board.
