Hi Fam 🌈
In times of trouble, queer joy is more essential than ever. After all, it’s one of our most powerful tools of resistance. So when pop girlies like Tate McCrae are showing the LGBTQ+ community love, or Rebecca Black drops a banger for us to dance the night away to after a day of resistance, well, we feel nothing but gratitude.
Along with those two artists, this week PRIDE also caught up with Queer Eye’s chef Antoni Porowski to chat about his secrets for staying healthy (and looking good), Drag Race star Acacia Fogot spilled some tea and threw some shade about her season 17 sisters, and Bob’s Burgers star John Roberts broke down the queer joy of that animated series.
Plus, check out what the staff of PRIDE have been up to this week below! ⬇️
Cheers!

📺 Stream & Chill: Running Point
Think Succession but set in the world of professional sports and through the lens of Mindy Kaling, and you'll catch the vibe of Running Point. Plus, the series stars Drew Tarver and Chris Evans alongside Kate Hudson, Brenda Song, and Justin Theroux. Streaming on Netflix.
🎧 In Our Ears: 'Safeword' by Halsey
Halsey is back and in her riot grrrl era with 'Safeword.' We can't stop listening to or watching the steamy BDSM-themed video. The nonbinary singer continues to stun as they channel the rage and the punk vocals of Kathleen Hanna on this fiery and steamy new track. We stan.
