GT: For his second Gay Times cover story, Gus Kenworthy says he has zero regrets about coming out, noting his fears that it would affect his athletic career were unfounded:

GR8ERDAYS: Rock icon Meat Loaf has died at 74. It's sad how far right he went as time went on — he was anti-vax (and died of COVID-19), called Greta Thunberg a dirty name (cunt? bitch? DailyMail.com protected him and didn't publish it) and brainwashed for believing in climate change and supported Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and the Trump family. As a musician, though, he was one of a kind.

And one of my favorite Louis Anderson routines is when he’s talking about being in the ER and a woman next to him keeps whining repetitively saying “I’m dying”and Louie Anderson finally screams: “WHEN!”

His performance as Christine Baskets on Baskets (2016-2019) was transcendent:
