​'And Just Like That' S3 E3 Recap: Why would a man be there?
Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski might be the food expert on the Emmy-award winning reality series, but a Netflix movie loosely based on his love life is next on the menu!

    

Named People Magazine's "Sexiest Reality Star" in 2019, the 35-year-old has been open about his sexual fluidity and romances with both men and women. 
"I feel like if I do refer to myself as gay, which would make it easier for people to understand sometimes, I feel like it dishonors women that I've been in love with," Porowski told GQ.

The upcoming romantic comedy, entitled Girls & Boys, will tap into Porowski's dating experiences. Black-ish creator Kenya Barris will develop the story for Netflix and Hulu Plus One filmmakers Andrew Rhymer and Jeff Chan are set to write it.

        7 queer horror films you may have already missed in 2025

Hello and welcome to the latest Creepy Kiki, PRIDE’s weekly dissection of all things that go bump in the (gay) night. 
We’re officially halfway through 2025 and just a few months away from spooky season, and already this has proven to be a really exciting year for the horror genre in general, but especially for queer horror. That said, this week I thought it would be the perfect time for a mid-year horror binge, and playing a little game of catch-up by focusing on the seven queer horror films that dropped this year that you may have already missed — shocking, I know!

To celebrate queer actress Katy O’Brian being on the big screen again in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, we’re taking a look back at all of her most iconic roles.
O’Brian got her first taste of fame when she starred as a minor recurring character in two episodes of The Walking Dead, and although she worked on shows like Z Nation and Black Lightning after that, it wasn’t until she starred beside Kristen Stewart in Love Lies Bleeding that she became a household name.

Welcome to the Creepy Kiki, PRIDE’s weekly dissection of all things that go bump in the (gay) night. This is the first installment in a series celebrating queer horror, so join us each week for more stories that chill, thrill, and unapologetically kill — with flair.
Director John Hughes was one of the defining voices of the 1980s. He was the architect behind some of the most enduring archetypes of the teen comedy genre. But what if you took some of his most influential work, like 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Some Kind of Wonderful and tossed them in a blender with some red dye and corn syrup? What you’d end up with is Fear Street: Prom Queen, the latest entry in Netflix’s oh-so-queer horror franchise that debuted with a trilogy of movies and dominated the summer of 2021.
