We hope these varied perspectives encourage dialogue and change to end the needless violence plaguing our country.The Pulse Interim Memorial, with its vinyl-printed portraits, words of contemplation, and flower tributes that wilt and wither in the scorching Orlando sun, is a reflection of our grief and rage.At once beautiful and unforgiving, to stand on the site of such needless devastation is to be at the center of our country’s struggle with gun culture. The events of recent weeks — no, wait — years, seem to have little impact on our collective conscience to reconsider what responsible gun ownership means. For the past week, INTO has been exploring themes around gun violence, asking journalists and thought leaders to share their perspectives.

Queer gamers are a discerning bunch, and now they have the opportunity to show their Pride even before they inevitably choose the badass, female character.Last year, Xbox produced a limited batch of Pride controllers and shared it with LGBTQIA+ players and creators around the world.

First Kill (★★★☆☆) is very good when it’s good, and downright terrible when it’s bad.Sometimes it’s so bad, it’s good, but this “teenage lesbian vampire falls for fearless vampire hunter” romance is far from boring.Based on a short story by queer YA and fantasy author V.E. Schwab, First Kill blends a little Buffy, Supernatural, and Charmed with Romeo & Juliet, and a side of Heathers.

Imagine a world in which all the men disappear from the planet in a single moment: Planes they were piloting are left unmanned (literally), their female passengers abandoned in midair; men in bed with their girlfriends mysteriously vanish; boys in the playground dematerialize before their mothers’ eyes. The girls and women left behind are given no apparent reason for the sudden absence of half the world’s population. Now imagine another world — one in which an author proudly announces her forthcoming novel only to be attacked online for its fantastical premise.

Vanity Fair and The New York Times have taken notice!Far be it from Queerty, a totally comparable media institution, to ignore this extremely relevant and thoroughly thought-provoking trend.

here I’d already been bullied at school for being camp; though, I always fought back.
