Bangkok Pride returns after over a decade

While the pandemic put an enormous strain on the film and television industry, things are finally getting back to where they used to be, but things are even gayer!With Sapphic vampires, queer Pride and Prejudice retellings, reboots of queer classics, and so much more, this Pride Month may just have a little something for everyone.While the original versions of Queer as Folk took the LGBTQ+ community by storm, the original incantations truly only showed a very white, cis-gender side of the queer community, which the new reboot aims to change. In the same fashion as the original, the reboot will be a very queer show that doesn’t stray away from serious topics, including what seems to be a Pulse-shooting inspired plot, but promises to center on queer joy.Fin Argus, Devin Way, Johnny Sibilly, Ryan O'Connell, Candace Grace, and Jesse James Keitel will lead the reboot, with Benito Skinner, Kim Catrall, and more set to guest star. While only time will tell the impact this reboot will have, let's hope it captures queer magic like its predecessors. A girl next-in-line to fill her monster hunting family’s shoes finds herself in love with a girl who happens to be a vampire. If you are a former Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan like myself, then your ears probably perked up, for good reason. The trailer for the show sets up a war between two families destined to be enemies with the sapphic yearning amped up to the max, making this one another to add to the watch list.While Halloween is not for some time, sapphic star-crossed lovers are timeless.One of the most anticipated queer films in recent years, Fire Island takes Pride and Prejudice and lets it take a huff of poppers while wearing only a jockstrap dancing to Lady Gaga, which frankly

What's in store for today? Your daily horoscope for Saturday, June 11, 2022Man, 44, arrested after boy, 15, killed and mum wounded in Manchester stabbingMan City star speaks out on speculation he will replace Frenkie de Jong at BarcelonaSomewhere among them may have been a shy young woman uncertain about her sexuality, hoping that no-one she knew saw her there, but I like to think that times have changed, and mostly for the better.That young woman today can see role models in almost all areas of life, including LGBTQ+ actors appearing in our best loved soaps, who are able to work and be celebrated for who they are.Of course, prejudice and injustice still remain, and our fight continues, but Pride shows us that there is strength in sharing the love and holding each other’s hands.So, Happy Pride everyone. I look forward to seeing you all there.

For the second time this spring, a New York City institution is facing a backlash over a conservative Jewish conference, long in the planning, because of one of its featured speakers: Gov.

Melanie’s at Griffith’s Tavern doesn’t claim to be any better than other bars in its Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. But, perhaps, that is because it expects patrons to walk in with the same attitude. This is thanks to its new owners, Hannah Spangler and Allison Crowley, who bought and partially renamed the place two months ago. Before their purchase, Griffith’s Tavern was a neighborhood dive bar for nearly 100 years, catering primarily to straight men. It was a space where guys could sip on cheap canned beers while the bar’s previous owner Rick Koehler ensured all of his customers had enough ice.

In the video — which touches on a number of topics and conspiracy theories popular among the right-wing, including the Religious Right and people with anti-government views — Jackson starts off with a rant about Pride Month, calling homosexuality “unnatural” and “disgusting.”In the video, first flagged in a June 7 rundown by Right Wing Watch, a project of People for the American Way that reports on right-wing falsehoods and extremism, Jackson urges Christians to speak out against homosexuality as sinful and even to ridicule it. He says Christians must do this in order to get their message across that fornication of any kind — including homosexual behavior — is immoral and counter to God’s plan.“Pride Month is in full swing,” Jackson says.

my Queer identity and the character was moulded around that once I had been cast. Sah wasn’t non-binary until I came along, which goes to show that Casualty weren’t just ticking a diversity box when they hired a non-binary actor, which is super affirming. In my head, Sah’s gender identity isn’t as solid or realised as mine is, probably because they just haven’t had the time or brainspace to consider or explore it more than they already have.

How important is it to you to have a broad representation of everyone on your programme?When I had a vision in my head of what I wanted the show to be, it was about a place where everyone is equal, like whether you’re a superstar celeb, or you’re somebody who’s sat in the studio watching the show – your opinion, your background, your voice is just as important as anyone else’s.I think we can all learn from each other.
