Sometimes she just

By Romeo San Vicente Ryan Murphy has yet another new show in the works. It’s called _The Politician_, it’s coming to Netflix, and it stars that adorable (and now openly gay) Ben Platt as a high school student convinced he’s going to be president someday, but who must first navigate the choppy, ruthless waters of

By Romeo San Vicente It was inevitable. It’s an impossible task trying to keep Hugh Jackman from busting out his song-and-dance-man persona.

But soon you’ll get a fresh chance to learn the name Francis Lee, the director whose beautifully queer independent drama, God’s

By Romeo San Vicente Is it because we’re all swimming together in the toxic Trump pool that makes every new addition to the LGBTQ cultural canon feel like an act of rebellion? Probably. But even if we were living in a queer-friendly political era, 2018’s (they’re calling it #20GayTeen on the Internet, just FYI) pop

By Romeo San Vicente  Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies  isn’t really a happy story, but it’s a true one, and it’s about queer love in the face of the unthinkable.
