Word to the wise: don't ever come for the LGBTQ+ community in front of Adele, because it probably won't end well for you. Pride Month may have LITERALLY just started yesterday, but already we have some BS to deal with... like a homophobic heckler who decided to interrupt an Adele concert with their hate. The Oscar- and Grammy-winning icon is in the midst of the final handful of shows for her Weekends With Adele concert residency in Las Vegas, and during Saturday night's edition of said residency, one concertgoer thought it would be a good idea to yell out "Pride sucks!" during a segment wh ..read more

A very happy Pride Month, indeed! On Tuesday, May 28, Bretman Rock shared a video alongside a mysterious man with a very well-defined back. That TikTok post went viral, and fans started sleuthing to figure out who that man was. The man on Rock's video was eventually identified as Justice Fester. And while we didn't have any clear confirmation that they were dating at first, things changed with a new post from Rock on Saturday, June 1 to kick off Pride Month on the right foot. "Happy Pride Yall!! [rainbow flag emoji] I'm spending it being gay asf. Hbu," Rock wrote in the post, which includes ..read more

These brands are putting their money where their mouths are this Pride Month. Are you ready for a month of rainbow capitalism? It's June (better known to global LGBTQ+ community as Pride Month!) and that means that we're all being inundated with a wave of rainbow flags, empowering messages, and (probably most prominent) images and ads from brands offering so much Pride-themed merch. But not all of it is created equal! During Pride, some companies seek to only profit off the idea that they are "allies," but more and more companies are collaborating with queer artists and designers and using ..read more

In order to know where we're going, we need to always remember where we come from! If the past few years have taught us anything, it's that while the global LGBTQ+ community has come a long way when it comes tolerance and representation in all facets of life, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to fighting for our rights to live and love as our most authentic selves. While it's easy to put blinders on and focus on the road ahead, an important part of the journey is to look back on how far you've come. There's a lot at stake for many of us, but with the official ..read more

It's time for the world to acknowledge that Hacks is the best comedy series on TV right now. As Jean Smart plays the legendary standup comedian Deborah Vance in what feels like the performance of a lifetime, she's surrounded by a cast of top-tier queer actors bringing to life very specific, oddly relatable, and totally hilarious characters who happen to be queer. Carl Clemons-Hopkins, who is undoubtedly one of the most impressive actors on the show, brings to life a low-key, level-headed, and litigious Marcus — a character who, in an ensemble of so many off-the-wall performers, ran the risk ..read more

On Thursday, May 30, Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts related to paying adult film actress Stormy Daniels with "hush money" and falsifying business records. As reported by Out's sister publication The Advocate, this has been the first criminal trial of any former U.S. president and the first-ever conviction. While Trump is still facing several other criminal charges in the next few months, many people are relieved that he's finally been officially charged with one of his various allegedly crimes. In the meantime, however, a lot of follow-up questions are coming to mind — and ..read more
