Look at All the Hot Queer People Posting Their #LGBTGlowup
Culture & Lifestyle

We all need to see some smiling, friendly, queer faces from time to time. After all, that's part of the reason why so many of us are online: looking for information, art, or resources to feel closer to a sense of community. And while Twitter can be actual hellfire most of the time, sometimes it's really, really good at connecting and uplifting its users with hashtags like #LGBTQglowup.

Over the weekend, members of the community tweeted out their gayby and theyby photos -- young LGBTQ+ people, mostly on the cusp of adolescence -- alongside photos of themselves once they've grown more into their identities. And the result was pretty inspiring.

It's in moments like these that I'm thankful I downloaded the app. Want to join in? Make an account and post a photoset to Twitter yourself.

Few creatives have shaped New York’s cultural conversation as fluidly and joyfully as Isaac Mizrahi. Designer, performer, provocateur, storyteller — what hasn’t he done feels like the better question. From redefining American fashion in the late ’80s and ’90s to stepping seamlessly into Broadway, cabaret, film, and television, Mizrahi has always followed curiosity over category. That curiosity has taken the Brooklyn native everywhere: popping up as himself on shows like Gossip Girl and Sex and the City, serving as a judge on Project Runway: All-Stars, lending his perspective as a consulting producer on Hulu’s Mid-Century Modern, and appearing in A24’s Marty Supreme.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, second-wave feminism, a.k.a. women’s liberation, was gathering steam, but it still didn’t have widespread support. Many Americans wondered why feminists would protest the revered Miss America pageant, as they did in 1968. “Women’s lib” was a punch line for comedians, and TV shows often presented feminist characters in a negative light. Amid all this, some feminist leaders were worried that their movement would have an image problem because of the presence of … lesbians. Keep Reading →

At some point, we must all come to terms with our own mortality, and the 20th anniversary of the Disney Channel original movie High School Musical is making me confront just that. On January 20, 2006, I was but a wee middle school student, watching the first movie with my cousin and older sister, trying to learn the moves (from the creative genius Kenny Ortega, who directed and choreographed the HSM films) to “We’re All in This Together."
