I Saw “Too Much Sun,” The Worst Gay Movie Ever Made, and I Wish I’d Gone to Poodle Camp Instead

This 1990 film has everything: Robert Downey Jr making a salad, Eric Idle in a leopard-print robe, a vaguely European lesbian character named Susan, murder, three nuns, and so much smooth jazz!!!!

Hallmark, Dabur and the Politics of LGBTQ+ Inclusive Advertising

I would argue that it becomes impossible to really talk about LGBTQ+ rights without delving into religion because religions the world over have long called us sinners. This is as true in America as it is in India.

The Morning Show: Am I Your Woman?

They have more chemistry here, but the first kiss was hotter? Hotter is a very generous reading, by the way, because nothing is like, really hot on this show, aside from the streaks of white blond in Jen’s hair and Juliana’s many gay outfits.
