We like to think we’re pretty patient. But waiting for some of our favorite Cedar Springs hangouts to reopen for more than a year has been pretty excruciating for us. And a lot of other people. Fortunately, tonight, THE. WAIT. IS. OVER! That’s right, if you haven’t already heard it from several gay birdies by now, we’re pleased to tell […]
Well, it’s official. At least one day in the near future you’re going to have to get out of that T-shirt and sweat pants you’ve been wearing the last year or so.

We didn’t come out until we were 23. And it was another three years before we came out to our family. So we know a thing or two about secret relationships. That’s at the heart of Two of Us, a sad but beautiful love story premiering tomorrow in theaters (not that we’re going to one of those anytime soon), as […]
For nearly the entire year, it’s felt like the world has been on fire—both figuratively and literally.

This year, she presents Christmas Is Not Canceled, a live virtual celebration absolutely jam-packed with guest stars. Calpernia Addams, Alaska, […]
Normally, we don’t even like to utter the C Word until at least Black Friday. But it’s 2020, so who gives an F. Christmas. Christmas. CHRISTMAS! We realize that we’re in the minority when it comes to the delayed satisfaction that comes with late November/early December holiday decorating and gift purchasing, so we’re giving you plenty of time to order […]
When it comes to boozy seltzer beverages, you have plenty of options. Almost too many options. But there’s only one that’s actively making a huge impact for LGBTQ rights in the United States. That’s right, Vizzy Hard Seltzer announced a $1 million commitment to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in celebration of LGBTQ History Month. That’s an intoxicating amount of […]
