A staggering 56% of people in the UK say they’ve never heard of a ‘drag queen’ before, which is hard to believe considering the rise of RuPaul’s Drag Race and famous British queens like Lily Savage and La Voix.

The research also found that over half (58%) of Brits are unaware of the correct definition of LGBTQIA, despite government statistics estimating that more...

The government of Canada is soon to start paying compensation to victims of the country’s “LGBT purge”, which is used to refer to a time period between the 1950s and 1990s when Canadian federal employees faced employment sanctions because of their identity.

After leaving us – on a trip that included an appearance on national television and a date by Royal appointment, in the company of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – he’s casually off to Las Vegas. Confessing he’s feeling just a tad sleepy (and possibly hungover after partying with Killing Eve star Jodie Comer), Bobby is all ours as we meet to discuss...

Novak Djokovic again proved the toughest of nuts for Roger Federer to crack as he repelled everything the Swiss could throw at him to claim his fifth Wimbledon title in the first All England Club final to be decided by a tiebreaker on Sunday. The defending champion was outshone at times on Centre Court and saved two match points deep into a gripping decider, but he dredged his tank of mental and physical resilience to claim a thrilling 7-6(5) 1-6...

Less than 24 hours after his visit to a dangerously overcrowded and foul-smelling Texas Border Patrol facility holding hundreds of migrants in cages, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he doesn’t care if “these people” are held in detention for “400 days.” “I don’t care if they have to stay in these facilities for 400 days, we’re not going to let those men go that I saw,” Graham told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on this week’s edition of Sunday Morning Futures. “I...
