The Musical — though his path to playing the “Spectacular, Spectacular” owner of a Parisian cabaret, where a composer falls in love with a courtesan to a soundtrack of modern jukebox hits, was unconventional.

Christmas films don’t always have to be saccharine tales of straight love and the so-called true meaning of the holiday.

Ten years can feel like a lifetime in the entertainment industry, a sentiment that rings particularly true for the rise of Erin Kellyman. It was in 2015 that the British actress first appeared on-screen in the quirky U.K. sitcom Raised by Wolves, a debut that showcased a raw, naturalistic talent far beyond her teenage years. In the decade since, the now-27-year-old movie star has navigated a career trajectory that most actors only dream of, leaping from the cobblestones of British drama to the hyper-speed lanes of Hollywood’s biggest intellectual properties.

Niecy Nash-Betts has a way of making every conversation feel both joyful and grounded, and our latest Out and About chat is no exception. Fresh off being named the OUT100 Icon of the Year for 2025, Nash-Betts is having a moment that feels richly earned. Her career has spanned genres, decades, and expectations, from music video appearances with Beyoncé and Jay-Z to unforgettable work across Ryan Murphy’s universe, including her commanding performances in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and Grotesquerie. And while she has delivered so many standout roles, Claws remains one I always recommend revisiting — if you are looking for a binge-worthy Niecy show this winter, start there. Of course, we also talk about travel. We bond over a shared love of Solvang, the charming California city that feels like stepping into a Danish storybook, she shares her travel essentials and favorite in-flight comfort film, and we dig into how she approaches LGBTQ+ culture while exploring the world.

Erik Carter
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 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 →
