In case you missed it, during Monday night’s London premiere of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, something incredibly epic (and gay) happened on the blue carpet: Cher and Meryl Streep kissed.
\u201cThis is lovely: Cher accepts a kiss from the woman she beat at the 1987 Oscars.\u201d

Yup, no Photoshop here. You saw that correctly. The two icons (and Oscar winners) locked lips for the world to see. And of course, gay Twitter exploded in excitement…

        9 LGBTQ+ fall movies to curl up with this season and where to watch them

When the leaves turn and the days start shrinking, there’s a particular kind of movie that just feels right. Something intimate, heartfelt, a little melancholic, and the type of story you watch under a blanket with a mug of something warm. And for queer audiences, fall is the perfect time to lean into those slower, softer stories that blend love, longing, and self-discovery.
Sure, summer has the beach rom-coms and winter brings the holiday chaos, but autumn? Autumn belongs to the wistful glances, the letters never sent, and the romance that sneaks up between cups of cider. From classic sapphic dramas to small-town gay comfort films, these nine queer movies capture the spirit of the season in different shades of cozy, complicated, and beautifully human.

Fans of Jennifer's Body just got a new gift in time for the Halloween season — an update about the status of the sequel.
The possibility of a sequel to the cult classic has only come up in recent years, as it has finally, finally, finally found its audience. But its been clear that the people behind the film would be hyped to bring it back to the big screen, and it sounds like screenwriter Diablo Cody is still quietly trying to make that happen.
