The anti-DEI crowd claimed the casting of Elliot Page and Lupita Nyong’o would sink the film.

These trans handypeople are going Tool 4 Tool.

The former president’s son said in an interview that this “closetocracy” was “the biggest problem in America.”

After right-wing media outlets picked up the story with an anti-trans angle, implying there was a policy change that suddenly allowed trans women to join, rather than a clarification of existing bylaws, a group of DAR members began lobbying to ban trans women from the organization. A small percentage of members even left the organization after DAR leadership made it clear that trans members were welcome, per The Washingtonian.

Overall, 2025 has been a strange year for LGBTQ+ culture, but thankfully it has been a somewhat banner year for queer and trans literature. We’ve been blessed with new releases from beloved LGBTQ+ authors like Torrey Peters, Bryan Washington, Ocean Vuong, and more — not to mention many exciting debuts that herald the arrival of some exciting new voices, many of them trans. In fact, there have been so many great LGBTQ+ books released this year that some of your faves are, inevitably, missing — but that’s an amazing problem to have, if you ask us.

Nightlife is, for many, an escape from reality, a place to commune and dream outside the confines of the chained-to-capitalism ultramodern lifestyle. For others, stepping into a warehouse at night and re-emerging into a cold sunrise is an entire life: an art, a practice, an income, a career. And while nightlife continues to thrive in major metro areas like New York City, the people making these hot, sweaty outings possible — artists, bouncers, bartenders, technicians, the list goes on — are often left out of the social guardrails and services made available to the 9-to-5 crowd, especially if they’re queer.

Author Marwan Kaabour has curated a necessary intervention in understanding queer Arabness on — and through — our own terms, instead of those imported into the region.

Legal experts say the full ramifications of the ruling are still unclear.

“Over the past year-and-a-half, I’ve been doing some healing and self-reflective work. And through this work, I’ve had the revelation that I identify as non-binary,” Demi shared. “With that said, I’ll be officially changing my pronouns to they/them. I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am, and am still discovering.”
