Hello and welcome back to No Filter, the place where I provide glimpses into queer famous people’s lives, via IG! Let’s roll!


I have to say, this is good merch. The nicest number! 69!


Hot? Hot and cool? Love this jacket.


My actual favorite IG captions are “all caps verb + emoji.” Sorry to be a millennial!


Niecy did, of course, like 3,000 posts for Jessica’s birthday but this one, a lone photo of herself looking stunning? Easily my favorite.


You have to understand that all I can think when I see this video is Les Mis. Which, tbh, is a compliment!


Loooove a loved up birthday post, nothing better!


Literally shocking that Pride is very nearly over, as seeing the various Pride events fame-o’s go to is such a joy to me.


Renee giving the people what we clamor for: a ding dang BRIDGE in a song! This used to be a proper country!!


There was once a time where the words “Chrishell + Bestey Johnson + youth foundation fundraiser” would not have made sense to me, and that was a much sadder world.


As we say goodbye to Pride, may this image bring you strength.
