Hello and a happy Lez Out July to you all! This is No Filter, the place where I tell you all about what our favorite queer celebrities were up to this week, via Instagram! Let’s rock and roll!
This is my favorite thing ever, I am very nearly ill trying to picture this hang — on a ranch no less! This is what RPF — I mean dreams! are made of!
Unsurprisingly, everything about this look, I am obsessed with. The fringe! Pulling off that shade of blonde! She really can do it all.
Cynthia. I know you are a Capricorn, but come on now! Two Wicked movies, a new album, hosting the Tony’s AND she wrote a book? I think we have officially found the one other human who has the same 24 hours that Beyoncé does!
Glastonbury is now my favorite festival, between all the calls for a free Palestine and having Brandi up there? Coachella found dead in a ditch, tbh!
As a person who watched this “Girls Like Girls” music video when it dropped, this does feel like a fever dream 25 year old me created? But good for me!
This is the dream level of famous, tbh. “Come by and bang this drum for Pride” is such a sick offer?
Cardi B? More like Cardi…Hitchcock, amirite! (We all know this joke didn’t work, please I beg, let us move on.)
A genre of photo that simply always hits! The bows on those shoes are wild and frankly a tripping hazard??
It actually rocks to have hair that is so powerfully influenced by nature around you!
Oh right New York Pride is the end of the month, I always forget that and then get confused when everyone is still partying hard. Go off you two!
Elliot Page has a boo on main! We love to see it, we love dating comedians!
Doechii was ready and did in fact eat down on that stage!
This look…I want to hate it? But I cannot! It eats, somehow!
There has never been an easier meme format for people to jump on than this one, but the thing is? It works! This is funny!
Oh wait maybe this trend is easier to jump on, lol. Also funny!
Sarah Paulson in a big suit? Yeah I am down for that, thank you!
Rooting for these two the ends of the earth!
Just wanter to add that Diane Guerrero from OITNB and Encanto appears to have hard launched her GF on insta!
Tawny + Jasmin + alpacas <3 <3 <3
there’s an old country song called “old dan tucker” but you’re neither old or named dan
In other non-american news:
– Daria Kasatkina and Natalia Zabiiako got engaged (they have lots of online content on youtube)
– The EURO 25 has started. Today Denmark will play Sweden. Meaning Pernille Harder will play against her fiancee Magda Eriksson. There many other openly queer players btw.
I just wish you would cover more news from around the world. Typically US-American are so self up-serve. Where not even talking about Europe here. Kasatkina is representing Australia now. Why instead of covering so called influencers bring us some news about accomplished athletes from around the world? 75% of the people you write about i have never heard about.
Your comment is hilariously and ironically self-involved. Why should a US-based site focus more on international celebrities that you personally care about? How is your comment any less “self up-serve” than this post?
Ok, I understand now that this site is US-only. I appreciate the clarification. However, this doesn’t change the fact that the US can sometimes come across as very inward-focused. Many Americans aren’t even familiar with the countries in their own continent, and I see this as a chance to broaden perspectives, which can sometimes be quite limited. People in other parts of the world are well aware of this dynamic.
If you prefer to keep this as a US-based site, that’s fine. But I believe it’s worth considering a wider focus, as the current US-centered perspective can feel quite narrow at times.
I’m not trying to spread negativity but to build bridges and encourage a broader view. It seems my message was misunderstood, and I take responsibility for not expressing myself clearly. English isn’t my native language, and the examples I mentioned were just that—examples.
I’m in the US and I only recognize like 50% of the celebrities covered in this column ;)
I would love to read more international coverage at AS. Maybe you should pitch the editors.
This particular column (No Filter) isn’t meant to be news though – it’s just interesting posts from Instagram over the past week. The celebrities covered tend to change depending on the taste of the writer. The current writer, Christina, does mostly focus on American actors and musicians.
