Prom night

If you know anything about sapphics (that is, women who love women), you’ll know that the Norwegian singer Girl in Red has become something of a lesbian icon. Last year, the question “Do you listen to “Girl in Red?” became a popular meme, appearing as a kind of shorthand for when you want to ask a girl if they’re attracted to other girls. So, when actress and talk show host Drew Barrymore revealed that she was listening to Girl in Red in a TikTok in late 2021, it only reignited long-standing questions about her sexuality. Let’s take a closer look at the speculations and finally answer the question, “Is Drew Barrymore gay?”RELATED: Elliot Page is about to spill some major Hollywood teaDrew Barrymore has been the subject of persistent rumors about her sexual orientation for years.

Donald Trump has said that teachers should not be allowed "to teach transgender to our children" without permission from their parents, in his latest comments about transgender people.Trump made the remarks during his keynote speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Policy Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday and also criticized what he described as "gender ideology."The former president is weighing in on an issue that has rapidly become a major point of contention for Republicans: discussions of gender and sexual identity in the classroom."Pushing woke gender ideology, think of it, on young people, is nothing less than child abuse," Trump said."No teacher should ever be allowed to teach transgender to our children without the parents' consent, and I don't think too many people are gonna be giving that consent. Not too many," the former president said.During his speech in Nashville, Trump also said that politics had become a "religion" for "the radical left" and that it "has warped their sense of right and wrong.

Here’s a little new millennium nostalgia for your day. Remember the 2002 movie Scooby-Doo? You know the one that put those meddling kids into a live action camp fest that perfectly cast the characters Velma (Linda Cardellini), Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard), and the voice of Scooby-Doo (Neil Fanning)? Yea, that one.While the film itself received negative reviews, it was a box office success that has garnered a cult following throughout the years.

Views expressed in The Advocate’s opinion articles are those of the writers and do not necessarily represent the views of The Advocate or our parent company, Pride Media.If you asked us to think of a timeless sentence, an evergreen sentiment that would be relevant no matter what period of history it was said in, we might offer, “It’s a really tough time to be in the LGBTQ civil rights movement.”It was a tough time in the ’70s, during Anita Bryant’s antigay “Save Our Children” crusade.It was a tough time in the ’80s, when President Reagan’s loudest comment on the AIDS epidemic was silence.It was a tough time in the ’90s, when media coverage of the murder of Brandon Teena widely misgendered him and he was buried with a headstone reading “sister, daughter, friend.” It was tough in the 2000s, when we saw an avalanche of constitutional and statutory bans on marriage equality. It was tough even in the 2010s, despite what seemed like a cascade of legal and legislative victories, including the defeat of North Carolina’s anti-transgender “bathroom bill” — as the murder epidemic of transgender women, especially trans women of color, grew more and more dire.And now, half a century out from “Save Our Children,” here we are again. This year alone, there have been hundreds of anti-LGBTQ bills introduced in state legislatures, of which 117 are explicitly anti-transgender.It’s always been a tough time.

It’s been a bit of a tense week. Homophobes are sending Pride decor up in flames, storming drag queen storytime events, and planning to take over queer events by the Uhaul-full. That’s why, for this week’s bop round-up, we’re going to cool things down a bit.

A post shared by ADAM LAMBERT (@adamlambert) At a time when Pride can sometimes feel a little sanitized and corporate-friendly, Adam Lambert has posted a short and sweet message to his fans and followers to remind them where his preferences lie.“I like dick,” he said at the start of the Pride Month video posted to Instagram.Appearing to answer queries from fans, he then responds to someone asking, “Are you gay?”“Where have you been?” responds the singer. “I’m really gay.

He found life in Dandenong rather isolating: “I was the only gay kid that I knew… I’m not aware of anyone in my social circles from back then who is queer themself,” he said. These days, when not working, Scott enjoys spending time with his friends, his partner, his chosen family.

Manuel Betancourt The title of Rose Troche’s film, “My Fake Boyfriend,” may be clunky, but it captures the outrageous premise of this latest gay romantic comedy. When stuntman Andrew (Keiynan Lonsdale, of “Love, Simon” fame) is stuck in a toxic relationship with a self-absorbed narcissist, his best friend Jake and his girlfriend Kelly (Dylan Sprouse and Sarah Hyland) decide the only way to break the cycle is with a white lie: the creation of a new (fake!) online boyfriend.

Controversy sparked in North Carolina this week as a photographer was made by government order to remove his innocuous photo of two men kissing at a Pride parade from a museum exhibit.The picture from photojournalist Grant Baldwin features now-husbands Justin Colasacco and Bren Hipp sharing a kiss after Colasacco had proposed at Charlotte Pride in 2019.Wholesome enough, right?  A post shared by Grant Baldwin (@cltphotojourno)Wrong!Baldwin was forced to take down his photograph by order of Gaston County Manager Kim Eagle, who cited “differing viewpoints in the community.”Related: Psychotic school board official has homophobic meltdown while resisting arrest and OMG you guysA further statement from a Gaston County spokesperson specified that “the museum is government-funded, and as such, it is important for the items it shares to be informational without championing political issues.”You know, the political issue of gay people doing gay things in a gay space.President of Charlotte Pride Clark Simon told local news, “It is a feeling of disappointment in the county in which I live to take a section of the population and deem them not appropriate to all of the people attending the museum.”A twist of the knife to it all is that the exhibit has been open since May, but for some reason, Eagle waited until the very middle of Pride month to order the photo pulled.Here are a few of the reactions online:Queer people existing isn’t political.

Gemma Collins has announced that she's taken on a new position of becoming her nephew's "showbiz manager".The 41 year old, who became a household name following her stint on ITV's The Only Way is Essex, often includes her brother's son Hayden Collins in many of her social media posts.And now it looks like Gemma wants to make sure she carves out a place in the spotlight for him too.Jumping onto her Instagram story, Gemma posted a photo of herself with her arm over Hayden's shoulder.Wearing large sunglasses she captioned the snap: "I am Hayden's showbiz manager any brands modelling agencies collabs movie directors email mark@tm-media.co.uk.The GC has often shared just how talented Hayden is and provides fans with glimpses of him dancing on her social media platform.But although Hayden seems to relish the spotlight, Gemma also has another nephew that is rarely seen online.In April, Gemma left fans stunned when she showcased her nephew Caine who joined her backstage on her The GC's Big Night Out tour.Sharing a short clip on her Instagram story, Gemma told her fans: "I've got a very VIP guest tonight, my eldest nephew Caine, that you don't get to see very much."She then panned the camera around so spectators could see Caine who gave a thumbs up.Gemma then added: "He's so grown up, but he's a bit shy so he's not on the Gram much, but I am so happy he is here."Last month, blonde bombshell Gemma shut down any rumours of her potentially joining an all-star version of ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!Sharing her insight on the show, Gemma said she wouldn't take part in the programme again.Speaking to The Sun she said: "I haven’t heard about it."I just don’t feel that I need to go to extremes anymore on TV for people’s

If you tuned into the Thursday’s January 6 committee hearing then you already know it was basically a Mike Pence masturbation fest.

Bennie Thompson, who chairs the committee.“Vice President Pence understood his oath of office was more important than his loyalty to President Trump.

, everyone was accepting. Still, when I thought about giving wrestling a shot, I believed that a sport often associated with macho men may not accept someone like me.  And when I expressed my interest in wrestling to people, there were some mixed perceptions from ex-work colleagues, or people I socialised with.

Massachusetts Catholic school can no longer call itself Catholic after a local bishop declared that its Pride and Black Lives Matter flags were incongruent with church teachings.In April, Bishop Robert McManus issued a statement opposing Nativity School of Worcester's display of Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ Pride flags.  By doing so, he expected the school to comply and remove the flags, but administrators have refused.Now, McManus has forbidden the school from identifying as Catholic.On Thursday, the Diocese of Worcester posted a decree about Nativity School on its website."The Nativity School of Worcester is prohibited from this time forward from identifying itself as a ‘Catholic’ school and may no longer use the title ‘Catholic’ to describe itself," McManus declared.In an open letter published in May, he claimed that "These symbols (flags) embody specific agendas or ideologies (that) contradict Catholic social and moral teaching." His issue with the school's Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ+ Pride flags is that they send a message of support."It is my contention that the 'Gay Pride' flag represents support of gay marriage and actively living a LGBTQ+ lifestyle," McManus notes.While seemingly invalidating the social justice movement, he explains his opposition to the Black Lives Matter flags.

“Jonathan Agassi Saved My Life” has a somewhat sensationalist appeal: It’s a documentary about the rise and fall of the eponymous Israeli gay porn superstar. But the director, Tomer Heymann, finds idiosyncratic insights within typical narrative beats about fame and power — two mercurial things that, for the film and Agassi himself, don’t exist in a vacuum. Heymann situates the notion of celebrity in the context of not just performance and gay culture but also familial intimacy, with striking detail.
