Rob Epstein and Jeffery Friedman We don’t just get to interview two Oscar winners every day. Still, on a sunny day during the Provincetown Film Festival, we got to do just that. Even better: the Oscar alums are Rob Epstein & Jeffery Friedman, the directors of queer documentary classics like The Celluloid Closet, The Times of Harvey Milk, Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt and Paragraph 175, as well as the narrative features Howl about Allen Ginsberg and Lovelace about porn star...

The internet chatter continues over the casting of Halle Bailey (not to be confused with Halle Berry, which keeps happening because, of course it does), an African-American actress in the iconic role of Ariel in the new live-action remake of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. Now biographers of author Hans Christian Andersen have stepped forward to assert that Anderson wrote the story as a metaphor for love as a gay man. Danish writer Andersen (1805-1875) wrote some of the most beloved...

(image via YouTube screenshot)After cryptic tweets suggesting his queer identity, 20-year-old rapper Lil Nas X was finally asked point-blank by the media whether he’s gay or what. He is gay, and he says the homophobic backlash isn’t getting to him because he used to be similarly negative online. Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty, co-hosts of BBC’s Breakfast program, chatted with Lil Nas X this morning. In their talk, the rapper said he was gay and added “I don’t have anything...

“You’re about the furthest you can come. Maybe the top of Maine might be further.” John Waters chides us for our long-distance journey from Los Angeles to Provincetown, Massachusets, located on the tip of Cape Cod. We meet one another on a sunny afternoon in the garden of a local mansion, celebrity-studded party in full swing, courtesy of the Provincetown Film Festival. Waters, of course, transcended his rebellious beginnings as the guerilla filmmaker of scandalous movies like Pink Flamingoes, Female Trouble and Polyester...

Just ahead of its UK release, GSN has shared a steamy clip from the LGBTQ horror film Kinfe+Heart. The film is also already available to rent via Amazon Prime. According to the movie’s description, here’s what you’re in for: In one scene early on in the film, a trio of male actors dance and kiss for the cameras. We’ll have to assume the masked madman hasn’t yet shown his concealed face: Knife+Heart is directed by auteur Yann Gonzalez. Félix Maritaud is part of the cast,...

Conrad Roy in ‘I Love You, Now Die’ The soapy mystery series returned to HBO June 9. So why are we mentioning it now? Simple: if Season 1 was any indication, you’ll want to binge through this one right away. We went to the liberty of holding back to amass half the season. The new episodes find Meryl Streep joining the main cast, as the ladies of Monterey find themselves in the midst of a possible murder investigation. Gossip swirls...

Andrew Lipovsky/NBCWe adore Melissa McCarthy as much as the next gay, but the news that she’s circling the part of Ursula in Disney’s upcoming live-action Little Mermaid makes us feel like “Poor Unfortunate Souls” since we live in a world where Lizzo exists. After McCarthy’s potential involvement made headlines, the “Juice” singer-slash-rapper-slash-flautist retweeted a video from when she started campaigning for the role — fully dressed in character — way back in November. “I’M URSULA. PERIOD,” she wrote at the...

John Cameron Mitchell as Hedwig in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch”If you’ve ever seen John Cameron Mitchell’s most famous film Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001), then you already know that its male-born titular hero undergoes a botched gender reassignment surgery in order to leave communist East Germany as a married woman during the late ’80s. But while many fans see Hedwig as an empowered transgender icon, Mitchell recently said that he doesn’t consider Hedwig as trans at all. In...

After the successes of  Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, it’s no surprise Hollywood is all about the musical biopics. MGM announced just last week that it was developing a Boy George biopic. This is in addition to the biopic the studio is already developing about Aretha Franklin, with Jennifer Hudson rumored to star. Other musical biopics coming down the Hollywood pipeline include one about Judy Garland starring Renee Zellweger, another about David Bowie, and possibly one about Madonna, though that may only...

Well, this is awkward. And possibly cryptic. But also maybe nothing. Who knows? But it’s certainly gotten our attention. Netflix has quietly and inexplicably removed 66 of 120 episodes of Chelsea Handler’s now-cancelled original series “Chelsea” from its platform. This might not seem like such a big deal except that it’s the only time the streaming giant has ever scrubbed content that it owned and created. And the fact that they’re not saying why they did it is also, well, kinda...

TV viewers were in for a surprise during the recent third episode of HBO’s Euphoria which focused on a girl named Kat. Kat likes to write explicit fan fiction about One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, and as we previously mentioned, the episode features an animated sequence in which the two former boy banders have sex. So… Did either performer know this scene was coming? “I can categorically say that I was not contacted nor did I approve it,” Tomlinson responded via...

The ongoing debacle codenamed “Bond 25”–the latest installment of the James Bond film series–has just hit yet another snag: actress and gay icon Grace Jones abruptly quit the movie. 70-year-old Jones, who appeared in the previous Bond film A View To A Kill, which nabbed her raves from critics and audiences alike, was expected to play a role in the new movie opposite Daniel Craig. But the actress reportedly walked off the set last week after realizing how few lines she...

The first trailer for the new documentary American Heretics has just landed. The film from directors Jeanine and Catherine Butler follows a group of ministers in rural Oklahoma who work to dispell the notion of the Republican Party as the “Christian” party. In Oklahoma, supporting liberalism or the Democratic Party is synonymous with heresy. These ministers want to separate the intolerance of the GOP from Christians by working toward racial equality, performing same-sex marriages and hosting immigrants in church services. American Heretics...
