Priscilla, and the rest is queer history!While this movie probably inspired the previous film, another camp classic about three queer performers traveling across the country should always be added to the list. This film has long been regarded as a queer classic, making this a wonderful addition to your watch list.The film is free to stream on Pluto TV.When this film was released, the girls, gays, and theys were never the same!Based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 novel The Price of Salt, notable for being one of the few queer novels to feature a happy ending (something that was taboo in publishing at the time), this 2015 adaptation by director Todd Haynes is an unequivocal queer masterpiece.When shop-girl Therese meets a soon-to-be-divorced Carol, her life is flung out of order, and what follows is one of the best queer romance films of all time.

And just like that… the drama between former Sex And The City co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall gets a little thornier. But is it all just a bunch of hocus pocus?The actors’ long-standing beef—the reason Samantha Jones is MIA from SATC sequel series And Just Like That…—was in the headlines again this week after Parker guested on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast to speak her piece about all the gossip around her fizzled friendship with Cattrall.Downplaying what’s been depicted by the media as a “catfight,” Parker was quick to point out she’s not made any public comments disparaging Cattrall, saying, “I’ve never uttered fighting words in my life about anybody that I’ve worked with ever.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration took steps this week to prohibit doctors from providing medical care to transgender youth.

Ron DeSantis' administration is taking aim at transition-related care for children and adolescents in the state, the latest development in a recent wave of bills and other actions targeting treatment for transgender youth across the country.In a letter sent to the Florida Board of Medicine, which was obtained by NBC News, state Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo wrote that he has recommended against "certain pharmaceutical, non-pharmaceutical, and surgical treatments for gender dysphoria," citing guidance released by the Florida Department of Health in April. He wrote that Florida "must do more to protect children from politics-based medicine.""Otherwise, children and adolescents in our state will continue to face a substantial risk of long-term harm," Ladapo added.The request, which was dated June 2, came days after the start of Pride Month, an annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community that coincides with the anniversary of the June 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City.

Arek Sarkissian 06/03/2022 08:58 AM EDT Link CopiedTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Medicaid regulator has determined that taxpayer-subsidized health coverage should not include transition-related medical care for the treatment of gender dysphoria, or the feeling of discomfort or distress some transgender people experience when their bodies don’t align with their gender.What happened: Tom Wallace, the deputy secretary for Medicaid at the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, submitted a report on Thursday that claims there was no evidence showing that gender-affirming care is a safe and effective way to treat gender dysphoria.“Rather, the available evidence demonstrates that these treatments cause irreversible physical changes and side effects that can affect long-term health,” the AHCA report states.Medical associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association, support gender-affirming care for adults and adolescents.But medical experts said gender-affirming care for children rarely, if ever, includes surgery.

Fort Collins Pride, July 15-16About an hour’s drive north of Denver near the Wyoming border, the city of Fort Collins is rife with college energy, breweries, culture, live music, and open-minded appeal no matter when you visit, but the place especially knows how to get down for Pride. “Pride is not an event but rather a season around northern Colorado,” says NoCo Safespace founder Kimberly Chambers, who also oversees SPLASH Youth, Northern Colorado Equality, and helps coordinate NoCoPride.Festivities are afoot in FoCo and NoCo (as locals abbreviate the region) throughout the summer in the form of Pride bike rides, concerts, drag brunches, and glitter shows.

Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” is back on the charts after its inclusion in the newest season of Stranger Things, and long-time fans are all too happy to see this queerly-beloved power ballad thriving. However, they aren’t quite as thrilled with the idea of anyone thinking “Running Up That Hill” is a new discovery–or, god forbid, a “Stranger Things song.” To offer a little perspective, here are five past TV scenes the song soundtracked that show we never stopped running up said hill…“Running Up That Hill” soundtracks the opening montage to the fourth season of The O.C., capturing the events of the five months after Marissa (Mischa Barton) died in that fiery crash at the end of season 3.

You would think that discussing a group of people who have literally hacked the code of their own bodies to present in their correct gender would be pretty fantastic, but transgender people are remarkably mundane. For the most part, we simply want to be left alone to live our lives as we ought to.For some, however, the idea of people choosing to transition is somehow a great fear, one that they need to blow up to titanic proportions.

Liberal lightning rod Susan Sarandon has been trending all day on Twitter after people started resharing an interview Mary Trump gave last month to the MeidasTouch Podcast, during which she called the actress a “complete idiot” and a “moron” for suggesting it was pointless to vote for Democrats.“She’s a complete idiot,” Trump said. “She doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and if anybody can say with a straight face that the Democrats are the problem, I don’t know what to tell them.”“She was pretty decent in a couple of movies a couple of decades ago, but politically she’s a moron.”Mary Trump is the finest Hammer EVER made!'Why?", you may ask.Well, because she "NAILS IT".
