According to a report by TV Line, ABC's longrunning primetime medical drama Grey's Anatomy has just cast up-and-coming actor Alex Landi as the show's first gay male surgeon.
Landi, a New York native of Korean and Italian descent, will be playing a recurring character by the name of Dr. Nico Kim for Grey's upcoming 15th season. As TV Line points out, Grey's has had plenty of LGBT representation in the past, most notably with fan favorite characters Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw).
We can't wait to see Landi in action when the new season of Grey's Anatomy premieres on September 27!

        How 'Bridgerton' season 4 is queerer than ever

Dear Reader, the world of Bridgerton has always been inclusive, but season 4 promises to be queerer than ever. 
That’s due in large part to Bridgerton sibling Francesca’s bisexual panic moment at the end of season 3, when she came face to face with her husband John’s magnetic cousin, Michaela. And though the new season finds Bridgerton brother Benedict entranced by a mysterious woman he meets at a masquerade ball that’s part Cinderella story, part Romeo and Juliet, who can forget his dalliances with men and women?

Conservatives who lost their minds over Bad Bunny — the biggest male pop star in the world — being chosen to headline the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show are about to find out that this year's broadcast will be much, much gayer than expected.
In the last few weeks, NFL (organizer), Apple Music (Halftime Show sponsor), and NBC (broadcast network) have been adding other singers who will also perform at the 2026 Super Bowl. Given that they aren't headliners, the general public hasn't reacted to these new names as intensely as they did for Bad Bunny headlining the Halftime Show.
