Must Have: Our Favorite Things

Flower Power, Prouder

There’s no denying we’re gay. Just one look at us, or hearing us utter a single sentence, and it’s obvious. Yet, there’s one particular gay-skill stereotype we don’t possess. And that’s the exceptional art of floral design. We can’t even get a bundle of sunflowers from Trader Joe’s and make them look good in a vase. Fortunately, the universe has […]

The Only Cooler You Need This Summer

Did you know you can buy McDonald’s ice by the bag? Once we discovered that, it was a game-changer for days when we had pool parties. Our local McDonald’s only charges $1.20 per bag and we need several bags to keep all the seltzers, beer and wine cold for our waist-deep wading. But keeping the ice from melting within minutes […]

Mid-2025 Rewind: Our Favorite Things

We hope everyone is enjoying a full week off! But if you have to work, don’t worry, we are lounging half-naked on a beach in Puerto Vallarta as you’re reading this. In fact, we don’t really feel like working at all this week other than on our tan, so we will be taking a look back at some of our […]

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 […]
