A growing number of LGBTQ+ stories on screen are helping to combat the “straightwashing” of American history and push back against a wave of hate, said comedian and actress Margaret Cho.

King Richard actress Aunjanue Ellis has revealed she is bisexual publicly for the first time. The 53-year-old rose to even greater prominence earlier this year after starring alongside Will Smith in the biopic about Venus and Serena Williams’ tennis coach father, and earning an Oscar nomination for her performance. While attending the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards in April, Aunjanue appeared on the red carpet wearing a red coat with the word ‘queer’ stitched in sequins down the left arm. However, no one seemed to take notice of it at the time and Aunjanue was surprised to find that reporters didn’t ask her about the significance of it to her. Now to kickstart Pride Month, and its 50th anniversary, the actress has opened up about her sexuality after realising she was bisexual at the age of eight, but not coming out until her 30s. ‘It wasn’t that I was expecting any sort of major reaction or anything like that. One of my family members noticed, but nobody else did,’ Aunjanue told Variety about having the word ‘queer’ on her outfit. Explaining how her family feel about her sexuality, she said: ‘If they come to New York and they are around all my gay friends, they’re like, “Oh we’re cool”.

Ukraine and even pollution in the sea, transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming people like me are to blame. After the recent shooting in America – where 19 children and two teachers were brutally murdered – US congressman Paul Gosar was quick to blame trans people and immigrants, as he tweeted that the shooter was a ‘transsexual leftist illegal alien’.My first reaction to this was to roll my eyes, as I sadly wasn’t even surprised. It really illustrates how certain people see trans people as enemies, and underlines yet again how much work there is to be done to eradicate prejudice and bigotry. To anyone in their right mind, it’s quite obvious that none of this is true, and it illustrates quite clearly how we are constantly used as scapegoats for various things.

Pride Month begins on June 1 – with London’s annual Pride parade happening in early July. June hosts Pride Month in many parts of the world, as it commemorates the date of the Stonewall riots in 1969.Pride 2022 will be extra special in the UK, as it marks 50 years since the country’s first ever Pride event, then called the UK Gay Pride Rally, was held in 1972.There’s even a rainbow-splashed coin being made by The Royal Mint to mark the occasion.And throughout the month, there will surely be plenty of events and exhibits across the country for the LGBTQ+ community to celebrate love, equality, sexuality and identity.Here are a few London highlights to look forward to (or book in advance).This one-off event hosted by inclusive LGBTQ+ gaming group Gaymers Inc will take place at the Science Museum in South Kensington at the very start of Pride Month.It offers video game fans a chance to relax, play vintage consoles and enjoy a few nibbles.

The real estate agent expressed her gratitude to voters for naming her the winner, even after her split from Jason Oppenheim. Since then, Chrishell has moved on with non-binary singer, G Flip. Chrishell hinted that she was concerned her new relationship with the 27-year-old Australian may have lost her vital support. She said on stage: “The fact that this was voted on after [the relationship came out] means so much to me because I wasn't sure how that was going to go”. It came at the end of her monologue, after the star credited her show co-stars and its creator, Adam DiVello. She added: “And just really quick, I know I got this nomination before I had said anything about my sexuality.“I'm not trying to get really deep with you guys."But the fact that this was voted on after means so much to me because I wasn't sure, you know, how that was going to go.“Thank you so much, I appreciate it!” Before taking to the stage, Chrishell was seen sharing a kiss with G Flip, then turned to hug her ex-boyfriend Jason. The reality TV star also brought up her sexual orientation at a later point in the show.While introducing a preview clip of the next Selling Sunset spinoff show alongside Netflix costar Emma Hernan, she quipped playfully at her new relationship.“Any top real estate agent knows that you always need to be expanding your sexuality.“I’m sorry, your territory.Sorry,” she said to a round of laughter from the audience. It follows the revelations she made in an Instagram post about her dating life in May. She shared a four-minute clip explaining she was attracted to “masculine energy” regardless of the form it took. Despite being open about their newfound love, Chrishell and G Flip decided not to make their red carpet debut

It’s funny, as much as gays love a dance floor anthem, an epic song of summer, a certified bop, queer movies aren’t exactly known for their soundtracks. This may have something to do with the fact that big budget Hollywood films centering queer people tend to be kinda tragic (we have to die so that straights can empathize with us, obv) and queer indies are less likely to spend their limited budget on pricy music rights.
