How I learned to love my hairy back and shoulders

Troye Sivan is one talented dude (to put it mildly). So we caught up with him ahead of the release of his new movie Three Months — where he plays a rebel teen, Caleb, who is exposed to HIV and has to wait through the summer to find out his results."Unfortunately, look at my phone. I put it on the other side of the room so that I don't, but then I just get up and walk to it.""I went through two phases — both are absolute trash, by the way.

Rosie O’Donnell has issued an apology for her first attempt at apologizing to Priyanka Chopra following an awkward encounter with her and her husband Nick Jonas.O’Donnell initially posted a TikTok video over the weekend, recounting her run-in with Chopra and Jonas at Nobu restaurant in Malibu.In that first post, the comedian said embarrassed herself (and her son, his girlfriend, and Fran Drescher) when she approached the famous couple for a chat.O’Donnell explained: “I just embarrassed my son and his girlfriend Theresa and Fran Drescher because seated next to us in Malibu Nobu was Nick Jonas and his wife, someone Chopra.“Which I always assumed was Deepak Chopra’s daughter, so when I said ‘hi Nick Jonas you were great in Kingdom and hi I know your dad’, she goes ‘you do? Who’s my dad?’“I said Deepak, and she said ‘no and Chopra is a common name.’ I felt so embarrassed, didn’t you think Nick Jonas was married to Deepak Chopra’s daughter, am I the only one who thought that?“To Nick Jonas I apologize, and to the Chopra wife, I apologize too.”nick jonas at nobu #sunday ? original sound – Rosie ODonnell Comments started pouring in criticizing O’Donnell for referring to Priyanka as both “someone Chopra” and “the Chopra wife,” which prompted O’Donnell to post a followup video.In the second video, she said: “Good morning everybody, I was reading the comments about Nick Jonas and his wife Priyanka Chopra, who I mistakenly thought was Deepak’s daughter, and people thought she was rude, she wasn’t rude it was just awkward.“I’m sure she gets sick of that, I’m sure I’m not the only one.

A federal jury found last week that a Black transgender woman who was wrongly arrested in 2015 in Atlanta on bogus cocaine charges and jailed for more than five months is due $1.5 million. Judge William Ray II said on Thursday, two days after the jury’s verdict, that Ju’Zema Goldring, who was arrested by two Atlanta police officers, deserved “some semblance of justice” for what occurred. The officers, Vladimir Henry and Juan Restrepo, had sliced open her stress ball and claimed to have found cocaine inside, when, in fact, it was only “the interior contents of a stress ball,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S.

Since its initial release in 2000, The Sims has been a pioneer for queer inclusivity. In a time when it was rare to see even a passing reference to anything gay in video games, The Sims gave players same-sex romance options—something that wouldn’t become commonplace until over a decade later.But as progressive as this was for its time, there was always one romantic element the game left out: weddings.

Sometimes, moms with gay adult sons get hungry, and all they can think about is getting their hands on a sandwich.This week, Twitter user @SpiceBoyJoey wrote, “mom asked if Grindr is for ‘ordering subs’ and i just walked out of the room.”mom asked if Grindr is for “ordering subs” and i just walked out of the room— lisa barlow’s diet coke (@SpiceBoyJoey) February 14, 2022For those of you who might not know, “grinder” is another word for a submarine sandwich used in parts of New England, not to be confused with “Grindr”, the gay hookup app.Per Wikipedia:A common term in New England is grinder, but its origin has several possibilities. One theory has the name coming from Italian-American slang for a dock worker, among whom the sandwich was popular.Others say that it was called a grinder because the bread’s hard crust required much chewing.In Pennsylvania, New York, and parts of New England, the term grinder usually refers to a hot submarine sandwich (meatball, sausage, etc.), whereas a cold sandwich (e.g., cold cuts) is usually called a “sub”.

Last week we learned about the #RamRanchResistance, a counterprotest campaign in Canada using a very gay, very explicit, song about gay cowboys to troll anti-vaxers.The song is “Ram Ranch” by Grant MacDonald, and while it did make us laugh, it’s admittedly a bit hard to listen to.No disrespect to MacDonald, but we’d probably leave it off our gay country playlist. That got us thinking…what would go on that list?We’ll start with the latest from the mysterious cowpoke himself, Orville Peck.

More American adults than ever before identify as LGBTQ, according to a Gallup poll released on Thursday, with the number doubling–yes, doubling–over the past decade.Using data aggregated over the past year, from interviews with over 12,000 respondents, Gallup found that 7.1 percent of U.S. adults reported identifying as something other than heterosexual.The analytics company began measuring in 2012, at which time it found just 3.5 percent responding that they considered themselves to be members of the LGBTQ community.The increase is largely due to members of Generation Z who have reached adulthood replacing older generations, who are more likely to identify as cisgender and heterosexual.Nearly 21 percent of Gen Z Americans who were at least 18 years-old as of last year identify as LGBTQ.
