Hello Out readers, how was your week?
Here at Out.com, our week has been all about Euphoria season 3, Dylan O'Brien, and, of course, the Olympics!
The Olympics have officially begun! While the Opening Ceremonies start this morning, several sports, including snowboarding and curling, have started!
In case you were worried about queer athletes being outed on Grindr during the games, Grindr has stepped up and is offering special protections to athletes, disabling things like Explore and Roam and Show Distance in the Olympic Village.
The third and final season of HBO's hit show Euphoria begins on Sunday, April 12, and we can't wait! Check out our new preview of some of the new character details from the upcoming season!
We've also got actor Dylan O'Brien, who played a set of twins in last year's dark comedy Twinless, who recently weighed in on how he approaches playing gay characters as a straight actor.
"You started seeing straight actors playing a queer role completely straight," the actor said. "It started to feel inauthentic. It was nice to have [director James Sweeney's] insight, support, and calibration. He'd be like, 'Go crazy on this one. We can dial it back if it doesn't feel real.'"

Gayest Song of the Week
In honor of the beautiful and heartfelt open letter he penned to Bad Bunny after his Grammy win, Ricky Martin's seminal Latin Pop song "La Copa de Vida" is our Gayest Song of the Week!
"Benito, brother, seeing you win three Grammy Awards, one of them for album of the year with a production entirely in Spanish, touched me deeply," Martin wrote in a letter published in Spanish in the Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día. "Not only as an artist, but as a Puerto Rican who has walked stages around the world carrying his language, his accent, and his story."
