Happy Valentine's Day, Out Readers!

In honor the holiday today where we focus on love, I thought I'd highlight something many Out readers love alot, the 2025 edition of the Australian Firefighters Calendar! Why not put on some romantic music and scroll through these incredible pics?

Each year, the calendar raises money for good causes, and this year, the flaming hot pics of burning hot men are supporting Greater Good Charities to donate funds directly to those impacted by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.

If you don't celebrate Valentine's you can at least celebrate Black History Month, which is still going on!

Or maybe you're trying to heal your broken queer heart this year. We've got tips for that as well.
