For 31 years now, the annual Out100 issue has been highlighting trailblazers advocating for the LGBTQ+ community. This year's Out100, presented by Lexus, featured Niecy Nash-Betts as the 2025 Icon of the Year honoree. Keep Reading →

I’ll be frank: It took some thinking to determine this year’s theme for the Out100, Out’s list of the year’s most impactful LGBTQ+ people. 2025 saw staggering setbacks for our community — funding was cut to our nonprofits; brand sponsorships evaporated from Pride events; attacks, particularly those pointed at transgender people, rained from a federal level; our present, our history, and our future were being erased before our eyes. How does one find an upbeat zeitgeist in what felt like an ocean of loss? Keep Reading →

There’s a palpable sense of anxiety and paranoia throughout writer-director Carmen Emmi’s debut feature film, Plainclothes. It’s the kind of tension that could cause a viewer to hold their breath while gripping the arm of their seat. When the movie reaches its conclusion, the relief is cathartic. Keep Reading →

It’s the first day of Pride Month, and Restaurant Row in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen is electric with anticipation. In a week, Broadway’s finest will descend on Radio City Music Hall for the Tony Awards. Showtunes emanate from the storied piano bar Don’t Tell Mama — a ballad from Jesus Christ Superstar here, a showstopper from Wicked there. Suddenly, I’ve wandered in, a negroni in hand, and I’m belting along. New York City in June is a fusion of the Tony Awards and Pride, and it’s idyllic for theater gays like me. Keep Reading →

The wigs were unmissable from the Fire Island Pines marina, bright pink dots on the horizon that grew larger as the ferry neared the dock. The vessel’s upper deck teemed with drag: magenta beehives, fantastic fascinators, white-gloved hands waving at the cheering crowd on shore. Keep Reading →
“Zurich is a beautiful city,” declares Swiss-born fashion and nightlife trailblazer Susanne Bartsch, who knows a thing or two about beauty. “I just love the culture — how they’re living life, the whole culture of hanging out. I feel like they really stop and smell the roses.” Keep Reading →

Every day, we wake up and look at ourselves in the mirror. While many of us are content with our reflections, there are those who only see an endless checklist of flaws that need fixing. Whether it’s pesky belly fat that never seems to go away or a larger-than-average nose, experiencing some dissatisfaction with your body is a normal thing. Keep Reading →
I was born in Galveston County, Texas, the very place where, on June 19, 1865, enslaved Black people were finally told they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation had declared slavery illegal across the Confederacy. Keep Reading →

I scroll my social feeds on a lazy Saturday afternoon and stumble across a video of a “Chicano mailman” (his words, not mine) walking through a neighborhood in the scorching summer sun. His décolletage, framed by the baby blue USPS button-up, glistens with sweat. It’s hot. So I tap on his profile, which leads me to a link in bio, which leads me to … well, you know. In less than a minute, I’ve leapt from the innocence of blue-collar TikTok to the OnlyFans home page of “an honest mailman trying to support his wife and two kids,” where he’ll show me “the package I’ve really been waiting for” if I cough up $14 and subscribe.

It’s a mystery what happens in an actor’s dressing room right before they take the stage. Every performer has a different ritual, especially when it comes to playing an emotionally taxing role — or in the case of Operation Mincemeat — roles, plural. The Olivier Award-winning musical comedy, about the covert British military operation to divert Nazi troops from Sicily, where the Allies were planning to invade during World War II, requires boundless energy and nuance for the five actors who play over 80 characters in the production. Role changes are communicated to the audience through minor adjustments to costumes and posture. So how does one prepare to take on multiple personalities in this dizzyingly funny production at Broadway’s John Golden Theatre? Keep Reading →
'Kiss of the Spider Woman' costars Jennifer Lopez and Tonatiuh
John Russo
It’s a scene that might have taken place in a Kiss of the Spider Woman fantasy sequence. Jennifer Lopez, who plays the movie star Ingrid Luna in Bill Condon’s upcoming musical drama film — as well as the dual characters Ingrid portrays in the musical inside-the-musical, Aurora and the Spider Woman — reclines on a sofa at the Maybourne, a Beverly Hills hotel. White flowers sit nearby on a table, as members of her team look on. Keep Reading →
It’s been a wild three years for Hunter Doohan. The actor, now 31, scored his first speaking part on Westworld in 2018. He followed with breakthrough roles in Apple TV+’s Truth Be Told and Showtime’s Your Honor. But it was Netflix’s Wednesday that catapulted him to star status after the first season’s release in 2022. Tim Burton’s Addams Family spin-off was a commercial hit for the streaming giant as well as a viral sensation; Jenna Ortega’s Fosse-inspired school dance number, with Doohan as her awestruck date, became ubiquitous on social media and a milestone moment in pop culture.
