Must Have: Our Favorite Things

Frankie Goes To West Hollywood

Celebrate the last Friday of Pride Month with a hot new gay anthem. Or several. We can’t think of a better way, can you? Today, Frankie Grande drops his debut album, Hotel Rock Bottom. We already love “Boys,” and we can’t wait to blast it at the pool this weekend along with the other high-energy tracks. We met Grande one […]

Wear These LGBTees With Pride

Pride tees for Texans! Get yer Pride tees for Texans! Even though Dallas Pride is over, we need to show up and show off way beyond Pride Month—and maybe stock up early from Pride in Dallas this September. And even though we’re rarely proud of our home state’s politics, we still love living in Dallas, and having local companies that […]

Queer Cuisine Chronicles: A Taste of LGBTQ+ History in ‘Dining Out’

You’ve heard of queer nightlife—but what about queer dinner life? In Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America’s Gay Restaurants, longtime New York Times writer Erik Piepenburg dishes up a flavorful, heartfelt and sometimes bittersweet history of LGBTQ+ restaurants and the role they’ve played in our community’s evolution. This isn’t just about brunch at […]

Somebody Bring The Crackers To This Bear Soup Party!

Tom Goss loves bears. He’s written several songs and filmed multiple music videos to prove his adoration. This week, he debuted a new single, Bear Soup. Which gives us plenty of ideas for our next pool party. At least we’ve already got the soundtrack set!

Pride Shop ‘Til You Death Drop

Pride this year will be an interesting one thanks to all the Republican morons. We doubt we’ll be seeing much Pride-related merchandise in major retailers in 2025, which suits us just fine. We’d rather support queer businesses anyway. That’s why we love The Pride Store, an online retail site from fellow LGBTQ publication, Queerty. The joint venture with Intelligent Deals […]

Underwear We Love: Turn Heads This Pride (And Open To See The Full Package!)

Pride Month will be here before you know it, and you know what that means: Time to buy some sexy new underwear! We’ve been searching high and hang-low for the hottest Pride underwear and we’ll be sharing our favorites over the next few weeks. But to kick things off early (so you’ll be ready June 1 to strip down to […]

Rogers, That!

New Music Friday always brings such fun surprises. Today, it’s the discovery of Jake Wesley Rogers. The gay pop artist’s debut album, In the Key of Love, out today, features a wide range of songs. They will either get you up off your feet and onto the dance floor or grooving from the comfort of your seat. (We can’t get […]

New Music Alert: Sexy Queer Vibes

It’s New Music Friday and we have a new gay artist worth checking out. Meet Anthony Hale, a rapper based in South Mississippi. Hale recorded a new music video right here in Dallas for his single, “Dangerous.“ Check it out below, then play it on repeat next time you’re having sexy shenanigans because it’s absolutely perfect for that. Like, really, […]

Dirtbag & The Queen

Some books need to be read with your ears. And no title in recent memory compares to Dirtbag Queen: A Memoir of My Mother. We heard author Andy Corren interviewed on NPR last month and immediately knew we needed to read the book. With a road trip on the horizon, we opted for the audiobook version instead of the one […]

One Size Doesn’t Fit All. (No Matter How Many You Squeeze Into One Bed.)

Happy National Condom Month! We hope you’ve been enjoying all the sexy perks that accompany it because even in the age of PrEP and DoxyPEP, condoms can be a delightfully erotic part of sex with other guys. But nothing’s more of a buzzkill than putting on a condom that’s too tight. Or worse, too big. Luckily, ONE Condoms created myONE […]
