The Devil Wears Prada 2’s World Premiere Was “Like Coachella for Queer People”

The Devil Wears Prada 2’s World Premiere Was “Like Coachella for Queer People”

Published by Sam Flores

Winnie HarlowTaylor Hill/WireImage Outside on the red carpet, the stars of the film were just arriving. Hathaway proved why People chose her for the cover of its World’s Most Beautiful issue, wearing a Louis Vuitton dress in a color of red that would make the devil himself envious. (Talk about method dressing.) Streep took a page from the same playbook, pairing her red Givenchy by Sarah Burton fall-winter 2026 dress with black gloves. Tucci, who reprises his role as Miranda’s right-hand man Nigel Kipling, opted for Giorgio Armani, while his real life sister-in-law Blunt, who plays the oft maligned first assistant Emily Charlton, looked gorgeous in Schiaparelli spring 2026 couture. (For the uninitiated: Tucci has been married to Emily’s sister, Felicity, since 2012. Emily introduced the two after she met Tucci—where else?—on the set of The Devil Wears Prada.

Best dating apps for lesbians and queer women in April 2026

If you’re looking for a place to go where you are guaranteed to find a well-populated user base, Tinder is your app. Tinder is often bashed for its high number of creepy users/messages — and rightfully so. But given its sheer number of active users (including queer ones), you know we couldn’t leave it off the list.  { container.appendChild(contentItem); });”> There’s a strong chance you know at least one couple that got their start on Tinder. Countless success stories are told on Reddit when someone asks about where to meet other lesbians. You know the drill: Add pictures, set an age range, and fill out a bio as seriously and extensively (or not) as you want. While the matching isn’t exactly strategic, it’s definitely the app that’ll help most with scoping out the most lesbians in the vicinity. “If you’re looking for …

Queer Memoricide and State Sanctioned Oppression

Queer Memoricide and State Sanctioned Oppression

Published by Sam Flores

Tuesday, March 31 was the International Transgender Day of Visibility. This year’s day of visibility came at a bellwether moment as efforts intensified to suppress queer visibility, recognition and memory. Let’s not beat around the bush here. There is evil afoot, and history is repeating itself, despite warnings echoing from our collective pasts. Case in point: President Donald J. Trump has openly adopted policies that directly harm LGBTQ+ people, especially trans and gender diverse people. Through the Make America Healthy Again initiative put forth by Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the administration explicitly targeted trans youth and the supposed “genital mutilation” endorsed by “radical leftists”—health care that is otherwise medically acceptable for gender and social transition affirmation. Far-right efforts like this derived from moral panics and manufactured fears that were circulated by openly anti-trans journalists (e.g., Bari Weiss, Jesse Singal, Pamela Paul, etc.) and several media outlets, such as The New York Times, The Free Press, The Atlantic, CBS News, Fox News and the BBC. Without going …

All the Queer Books I Read in March, and What’s On My April TBR

All the Queer Books I Read in March, and What’s On My April TBR

Published by José Betancourt

The first thing I read in March was Isn’t It Obvious by Rachel Runya Katz, a bi4bi M/F romance that I really enjoyed. I mean, the main character runs a queer teen book club, so of course I was going to love it. The book I spent most of March reading was Hell’s Heart by Alexis Hall, a trans sapphic retelling of Moby Dick set in space. It was fun, but it is fairly long and meandering, like the source material, so it took me a while to finish. I just started The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is a book club pick. I’m only a couple chapters in, so I don’t have a good sense of it yet, but I’ll let you know what I think of it! As for my April reading plans, my other queer book club is reading Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, so I’m finally going to pick it up. Better late than never! For the readathon, here are a few of the options on …

Love HEATED RIVALRY? Here Are the Top 20 Queer Sports Romances on Libby

Love HEATED RIVALRY? Here Are the Top 20 Queer Sports Romances on Libby

Published by Jenni Sidey

Heated Rivalry—a M/M queer and steamy hockey romance adapted from a book of the same name by Rachel Reid—has taken hold of the collective consciousness and not let go. Its season finale garnered 10.6 million US viewers, and its production has even brought talks of republishing a secretly published predecessor written in the ’80s by Don DeLillo. It has also, unsurprisingly, increased interest in other queer sports romances. We asked our partners at Libby to share with us the most popular queer sports romances that have been checked on the app, which we’ve included below. Looking at the list, it makes sense that Heated Rivalry is the most popular, followed by other books from the same Game Changers series by Rachel Reid. In fact, Reid accounts for half of the list. If you’re wanting a little more diversity, though, make sure to check out Love and Sportsball by Meka James, Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa, Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu, Out of Step, Into You by Ciera Burch, Team Players by Deanna Grey, The 7-10 …

‘It was an exorcism’: how heartbreak, queer rebirth and finding love over Only Connect shaped Wendy Eisenberg’s stunning new album | Music

‘It was an exorcism’: how heartbreak, queer rebirth and finding love over Only Connect shaped Wendy Eisenberg’s stunning new album | Music

Published by Sam Flores

It’s 30 December 2023. Wendy Eisenberg is walking and cannot stop. At an all-night rave in Bushwick featuring Detroit house legend Theo Parrish the previous night, they became paralysed by anxiety, returned home, “threw up a lot” and then set off with no destination in mind. “I walked for that entire day,” Eisenberg says by video call from their Brooklyn home. “I couldn’t stop moving my legs. I felt like I needed to reauthor myself, and this was how I was going to do it.” While out on their fevered walk, Eisenberg ran into an old friend. “She told me: ‘You seem like you’re having a kind of exorcism.’ Then she added: ‘Maybe just play some guitar?’” Thus diagnosed, Eisenberg went home immediately and began writing the music that became their sublime new self-titled album. “I remember reading how Cat Power wrote Moon Pix in 10 hours, in a dream state,” says Eisenberg. Many of these songs were written in a similar state, across three or four months after that “strange, mystical moment”. In the …

There’s queer and trans literary fiction, a campy murder mystery, M/M historical romance, sapphic romantasy, two takes on queer mermaids, a couple of LGBTQ middle grade and YA books for readers of all ages, and a biography of a groundbreaking trans woman author—to name a few.

Queer Characters to Lead Bridgerton Season 5

Queer Characters to Lead Bridgerton Season 5

Published by José Betancourt

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. What It’s Like to Be a Romance Cover Model File this under: we all contain multitudes. In 2019, Andrew Flanagan was a welder living in Franklin County, Alabama. Now, he’s the cover model on dozens of romance novels. It’s a transformation that began, as so many things do these days, on TikTok. Flanagan built an audience–now more than 1.7 million–by sharing short videos about his daily life. When he first received a message asking if he’d like to model for a romance novel, he thought it was scam. Flanagan has since quit welding, sold more than 100 photos directly to authors seeking cover art, and traveled to photo shoots and book events, where he’s sometimes asked to appear, around the country. Delightful. Queer Characters Take Center Stage in Bridgerton Season 5 They’re coming to the manor. Netflix announced Bridgerton’s fifth season yesterday with a teaser that revealed the series’s first major queer story as Francesca …
