    Saying Hello to Dolly Was Easy. Goodbye Isn’t. - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Here’s the thing nobody’s obituary is going to lead with, so I will: Dolly Parton picked up the phone for queer press. Not just the glossies with the biggest circulation — she talked to a small LGBTQ+ paper out of Michigan, the one I write for, the same way she talked to Rolling Stone or Playboy, at a time when most of country music wouldn’t return that call at all. There was no algorithm rewarding her for it, no cultural mandate yet that made it the safe or expected thing to do. I got to ask he

    Kal Penn Has Never Paid for a Drink at a Lesbian Bar (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    We know him as Kumar in the “Harold & Kumar” movies, but Kal Penn has spent the past two decades happily refusing to stay in one lane. He left acting for a stint in the Obama administration, returned to Hollywood and, in 2021, wrote “You Can’t Be Serious,” a memoir that many assumed was partly his coming-out story. Now, in his new film, “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor,” in theaters Oct. 16, he plays Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, a gay doctor who finds himself pulled into Anna Nicole Smith’s orbit. Penn has always

    Joseph Osmundson’s ‘Spawning Season’ Asks: How Do You Grieve What Never Was? - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    How do you define “child” when you’re a queer boy who can’t carry one but wants to anyways? Growing up, Joseph Osmundson loved the women in his life (“mothers are a poppy seed cake, a lemon drizzle; fathers catch and release”) so much he could imagine fully stepping into their nurturing roles. Like them, he imagined not just raising a “queaby,” or a queer baby, but carrying one himself, in his belly, with Kay, a queer friend he met in college who stayed close into adulthood. He imagined their li

    Tori Amos Is Still Fighting for Love - Philadelphia Gay News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I’ve talked to Tori Amos enough times now that I no longer blink when the conversation drifts to witches, demons, fairies or the slow-motion collapse of democracy — often within the same sentence. Her 18th album, “In Times of Dragons,” is no exception to how her mind meanders through her own particular cosmology: a record where menopause becomes a dragon, an alternate version of her life becomes a confession and a gay man from Brooklyn exists as a witch. There’s a “lizard demon” on this album —
