Hi Fam 🌈
We’re always glad to be gay, but this week we’re GLAAD, too! That’s because we're bathing in the afterglow of this year’s GLAAD awards, which saw some of our favorite out and proud stars and allies hitting the red carpet. PRIDE caught up with the likes of Matt Bomer, David Archuleta, JoJo Siwa, Tanner Adell, Dylan Efron, Vincent, and more to talk about everything from trans visibility to Ariana Grande’s new album, and a sexy back arch that broke the internet.
But that’s not all. PRIDE sat down with Peaches Christ about her mission to keep drag icon Hecklina’s legacy and the investigation into her passing alive. We also celebrate pre-Hays Code lesbians, welcome newly out queer celebs and athletes into our family, and cheer on Vivian Wilson for her verbal takedowns of her father, Elon Musk.
While the struggles that LGBTQ+ people continue to face are very real, there is and will always be plenty of reason for queer joy. Keep scrolling for just a handful of those reasons.
What a week!
Cheers!

Here’s what we’re watching, listening, and vibing to this weekend!
🎥 Film: Lilies Not For Me
A new gay period romance from the producers of Call Me By Your Name? Yes, please. Lillies Not For Me follows the story of Owen James, who is now in psychiatric care, recounting the story of his past romance that began as a friendship, turned romance, which in turn spiraled out of control. Available now on VOD.
📺 Stream & Chill: Love on the Spectrum (season 3)
Looking for a little extra serotonin this weekend? Look no further than season three of Netflix’s moving and sweet docuseries Love on the Spectrum. Returning favorites are joined by new folks who are on the autism spectrum and ready to find love. This season introduces Pari who is looking for a 'T princess' who will love her and share her passion for trains. Truly, this show is the loveliest and most charming window into these wonderful people’s lives. Streaming now on Netflix
🎧 In Our Ears: End of the World by 'Miley Cyrus'
Miley Cyrus is back with a bouncy new track about the end of the world. If you’re going to go out, you might as well do it with a bang, and with Miley’s smokey vocals blasting in your ears.
