In a 2020 essay for The Tulane Hullabaloo, Shahamat Uddin observed that college is “the beaming light at the end of the tunnel” for many closeted high-schoolers:Confined to small suburban hometowns and stifled by the ignorance of our young peers, we knew that there was a version of ourselves just waiting for a moment to be on its own. We could finally flourish and thrive in the fruitful and all-encompassing gay life pop culture promised us.(That one song-and-dance scene from Love, Simon—mentioned in one of the tweets below—comes to mind.)For some queer young adults, college does indeed offer that freedom to flourish and thrive.

living for it.The queer actor has long been the beating heart (literally) of FX’s hit vampire comedy, What We Do In The Shadows. His character, Guillermo, is the human “familiar” to a group of blood-suckers—but he not-so-secretly wants to be a vampire himself.And while that dream has yet to come true, Guillermo did take one major step toward living the life of his dreams in the show’s most recent season: He came out as gay! It was a surprising and welcome development for the series that Guillén has called both “therapeutic and nostalgic.”But it’s not just What We Do In The Shadows that we love Guillén in—this guy books! In this year alone, he’s shown up on Amazon’s Reacher, and done voice work for Human Resources, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, and on Harley Quinn as the hero Nightwing (which he jokes he was type-cast in because of his bubble butt).Related: Gay Christmas is coming: All the spooky queer entertainment to look forward to this Halloween seasonAnd, as of this weekend, he can be seen in Comedy Central’s hilarious new horror movie Cursed Friends, opposite Nicole Byer and other gay icons like Kathy Griffin and Nicole Richie.

Anyone can be a top and anyone can be a bottom—or vers or even a side, for that matter—but we all know the stereotypes about tops and bottoms. Such stereotypes would have you believe that tops are tall, domineering, and masculine, while bottoms are short, submissive, and feminine.And in a Reddit’s r/askgaybros forum, one 6-foot-2 Reddit user said he’s been made to feel “kinda undesirable by some tops, especially the dominating ones.”“Have any of you bottoms got rejected for your tallness?” the user added.Related: WATCH: The struggle is real for the 6’4” bottomUnfortunately, that tall bottom is on the receiving end—pun very much intended—of a scientifically verified bias.In a study published in PLOS One in 2014, researchers studied the height preferences among non-heterosexual men and found that “men that preferred a more dominant and more ‘active’ sexual role preferred shorter partners, whereas those that preferred a more submissive and more ‘passive’ sexual role preferred taller partners.”In other words, “men who preferred to be ‘top’ in the dyad preferred shorter partners, whereas men who preferred to be ‘bottom’ preferred taller partners,” as the researchers wrote.  A post shared by Schadey Lane (@schadeylane)Back in the Reddit thread, some commenters commiserated with the 6-foot-2 bottom’s plight.

Hi Jake,I’m kind of freaking out, and don’t know what to do. I was chatting on an app with a guy who didn’t have a face pic, which I almost never do, but he had the most beautiful torso pics, and I figured, “why not?” I asked if he could send me some more pics, and we started sharing what our sexual fantasies are. The conversation became really hot, and we exchanged some more body pics. After a couple days of dirty talk, I finally said I needed to see a face pic. I wasn’t about to waste any more time. He told me that he’s an “A-List celebrity”, and he’s scared, because he’s closeted. He promised me that he wasn’t lying, and even showed me an image of his SAG card with this name blurred out, so I knew he was an actor. Anyway, we’ve continued to chat for a couple weeks, and he’s bared his soul about the struggles he experiences as a closeted actor in Hollywood. Finally, two days ago he said he would email me his identity from a private server, and he sent a copy of his ID. Um… I’m still in shock about who it is. And not only that, I’m actually developing feelings for him. I’m now stumped about what to do. I want to respect his privacy, but I also kind of want to date him and be his first boyfriend. How do I navigate this?A Star GazerDear A Star Gazer,The first thing I would do in your position is make sure you’re not being catfished.

So when does it dawn on you that you’re in the middle of realizing a really bad idea? As you dutifully stitch together the cute little beret? As you attach the shoulder strap to the brown satchel bag? How about when you affix the “destination tag” to that navy blue dress?At exactly what point do you decide an Anne Frank Halloween costume isn’t such a hot concept after all?The answer: You don’t — not if you’re the creative team at HalloweenCostumes.com, anyway. The website has come under considerable fire for featuring the “Anne Frank costume for girls,” along with the piping white-hot sales copy that goes a little something like this:“We can always learn from the struggles of history! Now, your child can play the role of a World War II hero with this girls World War II costume.”Apparently, it didn’t occur to anyone that this isn’t tasteful attire for young girls who want to go door to door to get their hands on all the Abba-Zabbas.Yeah this seems super uncool.
