When regimes crack, history reminds us that the fault lines are never only political — they are profoundly human. For LGBTQ people living under authoritarian rule, a regime change is not an abstract geopolitical event. It can mean the difference between fear and freedom, between invisibility and dignity, between life and death.
There are moments in history when silence becomes complicated. We believe we are living in one of those moments now.
I had swum my laps and was lying in 90-degree water, with my neck rolling slowly back and forth on the hot cement rim of the pool, my eyes closed, the sun in my face. I was in heaven, or so I imagined, and asked for the sound of Ray’s voice and Sebastian’s bark.
The Super Bowl, the National Football League’s annual championship, is much more than a game. It is, as Kadir Ustun put it, “an expression of ‘American exceptionalism.

My boss keeps making little gay jokes here and there. Nothing super offensive or anything, but I really don’t like it, but I also feel like we’re living in really weird times and I don’t want to make it awkward or worse end up on his bad side and get fired. What should I do?
My husband and I recently had a three-way that started off incredibly hot.
As a member of both the LGBTQ+ community and the Florida House of Representatives, I am alarmed at proposed changes to Florida’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), and I am working to prevent these changes from taking place.
By now everyone reading this knows that Stephen Colbert was facing legal repercussions if he aired his interview with James Talarico on Monday’s Late Show. It’s also clear that Trump’s FCC is suddenly, just in time for the midterms, targeting left-leaning talk shows under the “equal time” rule, a rule that hasn’t applied to talk shows since 1959.
