A post shared by Club MUSICA®️ (@musicanyc)I promised you some NYC gay nightlife fireworks a while ago, so I’d now like you to all stand back with goggles on as it comes true — and then add disco boots to your ensemble and head into the heart of the mayhem.Due to the social longing that’s afflicted the post-lockdown crowd, plus the reality that empty spaces all over town are dying to be reinvented, there are enticing new options for partying queens who might even look up from their Grindr for a second.For starters, XL was a gay dance club attached to the OUT Hotel on West 42nd Street, but the gays ultimately ran for the hills. The hotel is now, simply, Cachet Boutique Hotel NYC, and in 2019, the XL space also turned straight, re-emerging as a Playboy Club, though the timing of such a place at the height of #MeToo was bizarre, even if they were supposedly going for a more feminist approach.

During Saturday Night Live‘s 47th season finale last weekend, the sketch comedy stalwart offered up a fitting farewell to Kate McKinnon, one of its senior-most repertory players and—for the better part of the last decade—the heart of the show.A welcome reprisal of McKinnon’s Colleen Rafferty character, the cold open once again saw the brusque alien encounter-survivor share stories from her extraterrestrial experiences, which were somehow way more traumatic and strange than anyone else’s.At the sketch’s conclusion, she agrees to go live with the aliens permanently, saying her goodbyes: “Well, Earth, I love ya! Thanks for letting me stay a while.” Through tears, McKinnon turned to camera to issue one final “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night.”Weird, warm, and intrinsically queer, the sketch was the perfect send-off for the performer who had a knack for goofball characterizations and off-kilter impressions, which made her a near-immediate star when she first stepped onto the stage at 30 Rock in April 2012. Ten years later, she leaves the show with a lasting legacy, including two Emmy wins for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy (the first cast member to do so).But perhaps most importantly, McKinnon was the first openly gay woman to join the cast of the long-running series, and she made the show a better place simply by loudly and proudly being herself, which is why we are including her in this year’s Pride 50.

great white shark chasing after its prey – directly to where he is swimming.London-born photographer Euan Rannachan is on a mission to help break down the terrifying stereotypes of great white sharks.The 36-year-old adventurer, who also owns company Be A Shark, has been organising cage-diving trips in Guadalupe Island, Mexico, where he takes tourists cage-diving in shark-infested waters.In one video he posted in April, Euan gives nerve-wrecking sense to viewers of what it is like to be eaten by an apex predator."Could not love my toothy friends more," Euan teased in his post.The massive 13ft shark is seen going after a bait, which is attached by a hemp rope with no hook, as it emerges from deep water among other small fish.When Euan's team pulls the bait closer to the camera, the sea beast makes a rapid turn and opens her jaw, ready for a bite.Unfortunately the shark misses the target and ends up nearly hitting Euan.When she turns around and heads back to the bait, the photographer realises how lucky he is to get so up close to a great white shark.Speaking about how he felt in the water as the shark approached, he told Daily Star: "Every time I am in the water at the island it's always exciting. You never know what you might see, and each time its a little different.
