When you’re a newly minted fashion icon, you can’t just show up to the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in any old rags. “There’s an expectation,” Pose star, red carpet goddess, and Queerty Pride50 honoree Billy Porter told Colbert, “so I have to dress appropriately.” Decked in gold, Porter talked Colbert through some of his iconic fashion moments of late.

Coined “theybies,” the couple do not reveal the biological sex of their children to anyone, including the children themselves.

For most couples, gender remains the most important factor when deciding who will cook dinner or take the bins out – even if that couple is gay. New research claims that gender stereotypes still play an integral part in same-sex relationships – with daily tasks being assigned based on who is more ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’. The person seen as more ‘feminine’ is more likely...

This is the story of how all that I valued in life, all that I lived for, was one day, mercilessly taken from me, never to be returned. I am a normal, average 22 year old who dared to love outside what society deemed normal. I dared to love another man. This was my crime, for which I must now mourn my love as I will never see him again. I had met him during a trip to Dubai. He was...

I will stick to my anonymity because I don’t want any sort of publicity, positive or negative alike. All I can say is that I am from Canada and I am 19 years old. I would like to say that I have been confused about my sexuality and everything is clearer now, but it seems like...

“Be You!” “Be your own hero!” Yes, they are indeed old clichés. And maybe not ‘oh!’, so original within cultures where being-yourself is simply the norm of living these days.

Ellen DeGeneres, famous lesbian comedian is once again making limelight rounds with a spanking new clothing line courtesy of the Gap, the popular designer brand. vogue.co.uk Launching GapKids x ED, a...
