GAY TIMES: WandaVision, on Disney+, has added an LGBTQ+ hero to the Marvel Universe.

ATTITUDE: Out writer Alan Hollinghurst, one of England's most acclaimed novelists, talks with Attitude about his new book, lockdown and LGBTQ rights. Snippet:

There’s been a huge improvement in the legal situation of gay and queer people obviously, but one is also very worried — more so perhaps if we lived in many other countries — that hard-won liberties can quite easily be taken away again.

SOCIALITE LIFE: Dan Levy will have an M&M's Super Bowl ad.

YOUTUBE: One of only two truly funny sketches on SNL last night (plus a spot-on Fran Lebowitz by Bowen Yang) — a show that featured Michael Che joking of the military trans ban being lifted as “don't ask, don't tuck” ... not something trans people do ... and HAHA John Krasinski KISSING Pete Davidson ... and a game show sketch where the entire joke was that one of the competing pairs were GAY WOMEN — was Kate McKinnon's cold open about what, if anything, in America still works:
