Jack Harlow represents a new breed of rapper unafraid to break through the “tough guy” persona that dominated in the past. He’s even gone on record about Canadian rapper Drake being one of his biggest influences for breaking the mold and leaning into the less “conventional” side of his music. One way he’s demonstrated this out-of-the-box thinking as a rapper is by playing second to openly gay pop sensation Lil Nas X in his music video “Industry Baby”.

Lightyear.The animated film, about Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear, features a brief same-sex kiss between two female characters. The segment was reportedly removed by Pixars’s parent company, Disney, but later reinstated after the company faced backlash for not speaking up soon enough against Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill.The movie will hit theaters worldwide this week, although it’s been barred in at least 14 countries, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudia Arabia, because of the same-sex kiss.Related: “As a gay man, I…”: Did extreme right-wing troll Ben Shapiro just come out on Twitter?On Monday, Shapiro tweeted, “Disney works to push a ‘not-at-all-secret gay agenda’ and seeks to add ‘queerness’ to its programming, according to executive producer Latoya Raveneau.

A post shared by JOHNNY SIBILLY (@johnnysibilly)Though Johnny Sibilly has been acting for a while now, the last year has seen him achieve new heights of success, finally giving the Cuban and Dominican actor the spotlight he has long deserved.His most recent role in Peacock’s Queer As Folk reboot has him playing Noah, a lawyer and former meth addict who struggles to find connection after losing a loved one in a mass shooting.The role could’ve easily devolved into trauma-drama and self-pity, but Sibilly renders Noah as a flawed but earnest man one who retains his sense of humor and sex appeal, even in the face of grief.  A post shared by JOHNNY SIBILLY (@johnnysibilly)Sibilly grants similar humanity to Wilson in the HBO Max dramedy series Hacks, which entered its second season in May and received 15 Emmy nominations last July.Wilson is a gay water inspector who falls in love with Marcus, the workaholic personal assistant of an aging comedienne staging a comeback. When he encourages Marcus to break out of his shell and try activities like rock climbing, it’s not because he wants a fun boyfriend, it’s because he knows that the man he cares for has never really put himself first.Of course, it’s hardly surprising to see Sibilly portraying characters with such humanity.

Harry Styles‘ upcoming gay romance movie, My Policeman!But, before you get yourself too excited, know that the just-released trailer only features scant hints of the “gay romance” in question, and nary a glimpse of skin—unless you count that brief shot of Styles’ muscular back as he freestyle-strokes through the pool.Still, there’s quite a bit to be excited about packed into this gorgeous 40-second teaser.Directed by Michael Grandage and adapted from Bethan Roberts’ novel of the same name, My Policeman is described as a “sweeping romantic drama,” telling the story of a complicated, forbidden love triangle in 1950s Britain.Styles stars as Tom, a closeted policeman married to school teacher Marion (The Crown‘s Emma Corrin), whose relationship is complicated by dashing museum curator Patrick (Peaky Blinders‘ David Dawson).The narrative also flashes forward to the ’90s, with our central trio well into their adulthood—featuring Linus Roach as an older Tom, Gina McKee as Marion, and Rupert Everett as Patrick.

Harry Styles‘ new LGBTQ+ drama My Policeman has been released – you can watch it below.Styles portrays the younger version of policeman Tom in the adaptation of Bethan Roberts’ 2012 novel, which centres on a love triangle between a man, a woman and a policeman.Set in the 1990s, the drama begins when an elderly man arrives at Tom and his wife Marion’s (Emma Corrin) home, kickstarting an exploration of “seismic events from 40 years previous”.This teaser trailer focuses solely on those past events, in which Tom and museum curator Patrick (David Dawson) first discovered their feelings for each other at a time when same-sex relationships between men were illegal.An official synopsis for the film reads: “My Policeman follows three young people – policeman Tom, teacher Marion, and museum curator Patrick – as they embark on an emotional journey in 1950s Britain.“Flashing forward to the 1990s, Tom (Linus Roache), Marion (Gina McKee), and Patrick (Rupert Everett) are still reeling with longing and regret, but now they have one last chance to repair the damage of the past.“Based on the book by Bethan Roberts, director Michael Grandage carves a visually transporting, heart-stopping portrait of three people caught up in the shifting tides of history, liberty, and forgiveness.”The film is further described as “an important and timely cultural story, shedding light on recent history while also being relevant to today’s current cultural landscape, where we are as a society and where we’re headed”.Amazon Studios have developed the film, which is directed by by Michael Grandage, with Oscar-nominated writer Ron Nyswaner adapting Roberts’ book for the big screen.Earlier this week, first-look images of the film were released online.

Tom’s voiceover plays over a sun-soaked montage of his courtship with Marion: the handsome pair frolics at the beach, sits by a pool and takes a drive through the countryside with Patrick. But Tom’s emotional dilemma soon becomes apparent between shots of him and Patrick in a close embrace, him and Marion on their wedding day, and other glimpses of the trio in various scenes.“You feel they could crush you, or take you under,” the voiceover continues as the music intensifies.

Raised in a village outside the Finger Lakes — a place, to this day, where cell service is spotty — he did not know what “transgender” was.
