Viva Ruiz is many things: an artist, a creator, queer, Catholic, and proud to have had two abortions. Thank God for Abortion is the organization Ruiz created in 2015 after abortion clinics nationwide were shuttering due to bureaucratic minefields such as TRAP laws. Her organization created a float to be part of 2018’s…

The 2018 BET Awards took place Sunday night in Los Angeles, right smack dab in the middle of Pride month. The looks were strong all around, but no one did it like Janelle Monae. My girl dropped her characteristically monochrome suits to positively and literally embody the rainbow.
Far be it from me to criticize an enterprising young woman who takes to the New York City streets on an 85-degree day to sell the LGBTQ community and allies cups of lemonade at $2 a pop, even (or especially?) if that young woman is 12-year-old celebrity progeny Suri Cruise.
Two years ago, Amandla Stenberg (Rue in The Hunger Games, star of Everything, Everything) came out as bisexual during a Snapchat takeover for Teen Vogue. In a new interview with Wonderland, chatting with up-and-coming singer/songwriter King Princess, Stenberg came out as gay, not bi—and reinforced a crucial…
Pride month has begun, and, with it, the annual Sisyphean death rattle of “Who’s allowed at Pride??” discourse. Are straight-passing bisexuals allowed at Pride? What about cishet asexuals? Are they queer, too?? And what about LGBTQ people’s straight, cis partners?? Are they allowed to get a rainbow-striped lanyard and…
Mike Pence, a pure man who survives on whole milk and phobia, who has long voted against LGBTQ rights and nary cast a wandering eye at a penis, is now getting a big ol’ LGBTQ blowout courtesy of an 18-year-old girl in his hometown.
Late Thursday night Jay-Z, who brought back the hyphen but not the umlaut, dropped 4:44, an album that on the first few listens is some of his best work in years. It seems to be an intensely personal project, with Jay rapping about cheating, his children, missed real estate property opportunities, and his therapist.
Nothing says “gay” as melismatically, melodramatically, or straight-up sweetly as the very notion of Mariah Carey, and so it makes sense that the ever-present chanteuse is launching a line of merch to coincide with this year’s LGBT+ pride festivities. It makes all the more sense since the rainbow is a symbol of pride,…
Skittles, in a well-intended but tragically-fated campaign doomed to the American zeitgeist, removed its rainbow colors this month in honor of Pride with the slogan “During Pride, only one rainbow matters. So, we’ve given up ours to show our support.”
If you haven’t heard, the Babadook is gay, and they showed up for Pride.
June is Pride month for the queer community, and this weekend kicks off the annual celebrations in a wide swath of cities across the world: Washington, D.C., London, Rome, and Los Angeles are just a few.
Turkish police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of people who gathered to commemorate Pride week in Istanbul, after authorities issued a ban on the annual march. At least 19 people have also been arrested.
Pride parades are generally colorful, sweaty, raucous celebrations of LGBT rights—and this weekend’s parades held in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle were even more so, given the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex marriage on June 26.
Only days before New York City’s pride celebrations begin, the city’s Landmark Preservation Commission has voted to grant the Stonewall Inn, site of the 1969 Stonewall riots, landmark status, making it the first NYC landmark granted this status for its contribution to LGBT history.
Hey dudes. It’s Rainbow Time.
Let's get one thing straight right from the beginning. You don't love "The Gays" and neither do I. And that's okay. Really, you can stop saying it now.
This weekend saw Pride celebrations festivities all around the country and the world. Take a gander, and share some of your own Pride moments!
