For years, millions of NPR listeners knew Audie Cornish and Ari Shapiro as two of the calmest, smartest voices in American media.

Measured. Precise. Composed.

Now they’re discussing ketamine culture, queer thirst traps, AI brain rot, Mar-a-Lago face, and a surgically enhanced internet "looksmaxxing" personality named Clavicular, and they sound like the version of themselves listeners never…

A few weeks ago, I was talking with a younger friend after watching Cher absolutely nail her appearance on Saturday Night Live. She was brilliant, effortlessly Cher, the way she always is.

My friend, in his 30s, was dazzled. And I said, almost without thinking: “You know, I can remember watching her on The Sonny & Cher Show.” I got a blank stare as he asked, “Who is Sonny?” Talk about dating…

The word “faggot” is uttered upwards of thirty times in Elliot Tuttle’s Blue Film.

Never as a slur, unless we are choosing to categorize alpha male degradation as hate speech. And only said by queer characters.

That’s partially because there aren’t any straight characters to speak of, just stars Kieron Moore (Boots) and Reed Birney (Mass) in an unrelenting two-hander. The film…

• Former Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Barney Frank is confronting the end of his life with the same bluntness that defined his decades in Congress.

In May 1992, Melissa Etheridge graced the cover of _Music Express_ — a now-defunct, free Canadian magazine that had previously featured the likes of Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, Tom Petty and Boy George.

On Grindr, the language is blunt, and the scrolling carousel feels more like a diner menu than anything resembling a human connection, different versions of the same thing, arranged for easy consumption. Like a fast-food joint, it’s designed to keep people moving and coming back. It passes quickly, with little value beyond a brief dopamine hit.

For a platform built on proximity, it can feel…

Some jokes never seem to get old, and we’d argue that’s true for quips about the pomp and circumstance behind papal vestments. Despite hopes that having two relatively liberal popes in a row would have done something to shift the Catholic Church’s stance on LGBTQ+ issues, things have remained pretty status quo in the past decade-plus. So it seems only fair to make light of the fact that, when…

If there was one place that was free of MAGA politics, you’d think it would be a gay hookup app, but you’d be wrong.

Not only are there frequent reports that spikes in Grindr usage during large conservative events like the Republican National Convention cause the app to crash, but Grindr now has a Republican in a major leadership role and has been wading into politics more and more during…

I wish I could tell my teenage self that it would all be OK and that there is so much joy in being queer.

“Nella comunità gay chi muore, muore di nascosto. Se chiedi è un infarto. ‘È morto nel sonno’, ti rispondono. Lo fanno con fastidio. Nessuno vuole parlarne. È un’offesa alla decenza. ‘È morto. Che differenza fa sapere come?’ La morte di questi ragazzi è un continente misterioso, invisibile. Questi ragazzi nelle foto sono tutti giovanissimi. Bellissimi. […]
