Team 10, the social influencer team of Jake Paul, a 22-year-old vlogger with 19 million YouTube subscribers, has been accused of transphobia after allegedly rejecting two trans women from entering their home. Lilah Gibney, a trans female blogger, claims that she and her best friend, Kendall Raindrop, had gone to Paul’s Team 10 house, a $7.3 million home with eight bedrooms and roughly 11 bathrooms where Paul and his cohorts plan new videos. The two women took an Uber to the...

Just ahead of the release of the new Spider-film Far From Home, actor Tom Holland said he’d be totally down with a gay Spider-Man. When asked directly about the possibility, 23-year-old Holland told The Sunday Times: “Yeah, of course! I can’t talk about the future of the character because honestly I don’t know and it’s out of my hands.” He continued: “But I do know a lot about the future of Marvel, and they are going to be representing lots of...

The iconic drag queen’s talk show is on the final leg of a three-week test run with Fox. But the world needs this show, produced by World of Wonder, even after pride month. This isn’t Charles’ first time at the talk show rodeo. He hosted The RuPaul Show on VH1 from 1996 to 1998. Donned in full drag, he and best Judy, Michelle Visage, were changing the face of television long before RuPaul’s Drag Race. “For me, the talk show has never...

Throughout their time performing in the boy band One Direction, former bandmates Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles were once “shipped” together in fan-fiction stories about them secretly being in a gay relationship. And now, HBO’s new teen drama Euphoria has illustrated one such story as an animated cartoon depicting the two men having sex backstage at a concert… and some One Direction fans are not happy. Before the animated sequence begins the scene, one character tells of another, a teen...

“I was looking for Jesus porn.” “Is that a thing?” I ask, somewhat dumbstruck. Malcolm Ingram, the acclaimed director of Continental, Small Town Gay Bar and Out to Win explains that he really wanted to upset someone. So he took to Google to find the most offensive thing he could think of: Jesus doing porn. “Isn’t everything a thing?” Ingram asks me. “You can Google anything, but you can’t Google that?” He has a point. His sense of humor also betrays his artistic...

June marks pride month, but it’s also the halfway point of the year. As such, it’s the perfect time to look back at the past six months to take a look at some of the people who have come out of the closet. As society accepts the evolving definitions of sexuality and gender, the process of coming out has become more complex. Stars like Sam Smith and Jonathan Van Ness – celebs we already knew as gay – are now publicly...

Fifty years ago the mother of all gay icons (at times in the literal sense…see also Liza & Lorna), Judy Garland died in a London hotel room. As the gay community of New York gathered to mourn in a local bar, police tried to raid the establishment for the umpteenth time. This time though, the grieving patrons fought back, launching what we now call the Stonewall Uprising. It’s one of several reasons the queer community uses the rainbow as a...

Talk about the “Erecto” charm! Harry Potter alums Tom Felton and Rupert Grint say that Harry Potter and Ron Weasley both felt certain stirrings for Draco Malfoy. The confirmation came while Felton and Grint — who respectively portrayed Draco and Ron in the blockbuster film series — played a game of “Fact or Fan Fiction” in an In the Know video. The first assertion? “Even while he was with Ginny, Harry was always in love with Draco.” Harry Potter costars Evanna Lynch,...

Director Jeannie FinlayJeannie Finlay likes the unusual. The UK-based documentarian has chronicled fake hip hop stars in The Great Hip Hop Hoax, Elvis impostors in Orion and even the appeal of goth culture in Goth Cruise, all without judgment, and all while balancing motherhood on the side. This year, Finlay adds another distinctive subject to her filmography with Seahorse. The film follows a British transgender man named Freddie McConnell who decides to conceive and give birth to his own child. Finlay’s camera catches every tumultuous...

Tyler Jensen and Roman Chiminenti. Photo by Joe KrammA Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge is sometimes ranked as the gayest horror movie of all time. For Roman Chiminenti and Tyler Jensen, that’s a good thing. The two horror fans have long treasured the movie for its queer elements, even while the mainstream horror world attacked it for its homoerotic subtext. The plot features a number of queer themes, sometimes overtly so: characters visit a gay leather bar, two male...

Brooke Lynn Hytes (screenshot from VH1’s RuPaul‘s Drag Race)RuPaul’s Drag Race already has regional versions for Thailand, South American and the U.K., but because Mama Ru won’t be happy until she achieves world domination, she’s apparently creating a Canadian version, and the guest judges better include Celine Dion, a hockey puck covered in maple syrup and moose made out of poutine. According to Entertainment Weekly, Drag Race Canada will feature 10 one-hour episodes and air on the Canadian networks Crave...

In a lengthy new interview for GQ actor Jake Gyllenhaal revisits his iconic role in Brokeback Mountain. More than 10 years have passed since the film caused a sensation, scoring Oscar nominations for stars Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, as well as awarding director Ang Lee his first Oscar statuette. For Gyllenhaal, the success of the film was a shock. “I think we had been cast for our ‘essences’ without really understanding what our ‘essences’ were – and that’s outside of our sexuality – we’re two...

Kinky Boots: The Musical Since we know you’re probably going to slurp it up anyway, we’d like to remind you all that Stranger Things, the popular Netflix sci-fi/horror series returns this July 4. Season 3 finds the kids enjoying the town of Hawkins’ new mall, and facing off against a sinister creature that has managed to escape into our world. Personally, we’re hoping for Barb to return this season, or, failing that, a romance between town hunks Steve (Joe Keery)...

Pop singer Morrissey has made a string of controversial comments in a new interview, including that all people ultimately prefer their own race when it comes to physical attraction. Morrissey conducted the interview with his nephew for his own website. In it, he addressed criticism for his support of Brexit, and an incident in which he wore a “Britain First” hat on The Tonight Show. When asked if the Britain First hat implied he was a racist, the singer called the...
