VARIETY: I'm still shocked Kristen Stewart wound up so out and loud; when she first became famous for Twilight, she was quite surly and introverted. She's also a terrific actress. Now, in a new-ish Variety piece, she explains why she feels Twilight was actually gay:
I can only see it now. I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating. It’s such a gay movie. I mean, Jesus Christ, Taylor [Lautner] and Rob and me, and it’s so hidden and not okay. I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book. It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.

THAT GRAPE JUICE: I don't think Lil Nas X has any animosity or indifference toward Madonna or Gaga, but he's clearly tired of the ... let's go with reductive ... comparisons.
YOUTUBE: I've featured queer artist Yuzima Philip before, and I still think he is an out-there original:

YOUTUBE: I will definitely see the musical version of Mean Girls in a theater (it's a B.O. smash), even though I never did drag my ass to see it on Broadway:
