Gay

A good day in real life is a bad chapter in fiction. A pleasant meal, a satisfactory day at work, and a relaxing evening at home all make for boring reading. Imagine though if a friend called to say they were late to work due to food poisoning, were subsequently fired, and returned home only...

Last time we looked at figures that were gay only by rumor or reputation. This time, all the figures listed are gay, as they are based on homosexual characters or openly gay celebrities. Some of these are silly, but a lot of them are cool. The figures are a lot racier too, since more than...

Gay action figures! There’s more than you would might expect. Some are out and proud while others are still in denial. This list features ten of my favorite ambiguously gay figures.

I’d heard a lot about Sanchez’s gay trilogy and was delighted to find the first volume, “Rainbow Boys,” while visiting my parents. Three must be Sanchez’s favorite number, because his novel focuses on three different high school students, each in a different stage of coming out. Nelson is your typical sarcastic queen, out and active...

Has there been a gay Christmas movie before? None spring to mind, and I really liked the idea of cuddling up with Andreas on the couch, our recently decorated tree glowing to one side of the room while we watched Make the Yuletide Gay. The results were mixed. Like most holiday films, Make the Yuletide...

Today is International Coming Out Day, the perfect opportunity to come out to friends, family, or coworkers if you haven't already. Much of the fight for equal rights comes from gay people being visible, showing the world that we are familiar faces and not distant statistics. Please consider doing your part and speaking up for...
