Between that episode of THE LAST OF US, Jennifer Coolidge’s Golden Globe speech, M3GAN, “You Better Walk That Fucking Duck” and an Oscar scandal centred on best fucking actress, the gays have absolutely never eaten as well in a January than we did in the year of our lord 2023.

For me the ultimate serve of CHALLENGERS is how it completely shifted gay conversation on + offline away from whether a Taylor Swift album is good or bad weeks earlier than would have been the case otherwise. Thank u love, thank u life, thank you Luca G

Viola Davis is now only the seventh woman to have achieved EGOT (via competitive awards at least), following Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn, Whoopi Goldberg, Jennifer Hudson and Lydia Tár.

I *believe* Kristen Stewart and Ariana DeBose mark the first time two openly queer actors have been nominated in the same year, and if either of them win they’ll be the first acting winner who was openly queer at the time of their win… ever.

Ok GASLIT is wildly relevant, meticulously crafted and written and features Julia Roberts’ best performance since Erin Brokovich (if not ever?) and no one cares because there’s 70 billion other shows out right now and this is.. not right!

It’s Pride. My 20th (!) as an out queer. Doesn’t feel great that it feels more dangerous to be visibly queer now than it did in 2003. But it’s also so necessary to be, especially you’re privileged enough to generally exist within safe personal and professional spaces.
