“Sometimes you just need to intertwine yourself in silence with a (very hot) warm body and ignore the world burning around you for a few hours while your cells regenerate.” WORDS ANYA SCHULMAN COVER IMAGE ‘VENUS AND CUPID’ (1626) BY ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI This may come as a shock to some of you (I’m pretty sure it is glaringly obvious), but I am American. On 5 November I worked at my local polling place from five in the morning to half ten at night, and started refreshing my phone at seven…

Wicked star Michelle Yeoh has the best reaction to being called a gay icon

admin, , , ,

Michelle Yeoh is fully embracing her status as a gay icon (as! she! should!). As one of cinema’s most influential action heroines, the Oscar winner has become a legendary figure (and “mother!”) within the LGBTQIA+ community. With her Oscar-winning performance as Evelyn Quan Wang in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), one of the greatest LGBTQIA+ films of all time, and as Madame Morrible in Wicked, Yeoh’s rainbow following has only continued to grow. In a recent interview with GAY TIMES, Yeoh unleashed a “woo!” upon discovering her gay icon…

Voting is important, but organising is life-saving

admin, , , ,

For the GAY TIMES’ justice column, “Let’s Create Some Good In The World”: how to turn your election disappointment into action. WORDS ELIEL CRUZ The devastating results of the US presidential election, which will bring back the right wing extremist politics of Donald Trump, show us what is true: while voting is important, community organising will be life-saving. Every four years, many people zero in on the presidential election almost as if it is the pinnacle of political engagement. Voting can seem so important because, for many, it’s the bulk…

Drag Race UK star Lill talks “surprising” fan response

admin, , , ,

In her GAY TIMES exit interview, Drag Race UK star Lill discusses her “uncomfortable” final episode, fan-favourite status and why RuPaul *shouldn’t* let queens change for the lip-sync. WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS SPECIAL THANKS TO JASMINE ALOMA AND SOFIE VAN DE GRAMPEL AT THE BBC “I’m dead important now,” jokes (?) Lill. Over the course of Drag Race UK’s sixth season, which has been lauded as one of the franchise’s best, the Manchester queen has accumulated a die-hard following thanks to her edgy aesthetic and dry sense-of-humour (as well as her word-for-word homage of Geri Halliwell’s…

John Simm stars as Scrooge as festive favourite A Christmas Carol returns to the Old Vic – review

admin, , , ,

We should probably mention right away that we’ve already seen this show and we already like it – so it will probably not come as a surprise to find out that we enjoyed our night with A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic theatre. Jack Thorne’s production (based, of course, on Charles Dickens’ classic novel of the same name) has played every festive season since 2017, with a well-known actor taking the lead as one of Dickens’ most infamous creations, Scrooge. This year we have John Simm (Life on Mars)…

“I can’t make this in the normal way”: Madonna breaks silence on stalled biopic

admin, , , ,

Madonna has shared an update on her highly anticipated biopic. Back in 2023, Variety announced that the film – which was set to star Ozark’s Julia Garner – was no longer moving forward at Universal Pictures. “Insiders familiar with Madonna said her sole focus is the tour,” said the news outlet, “but she remains committed to making a film about her life one day.” Over the last year, the Queen of Pop has remained relatively quiet about the film and its future. However, that all changed on 18 November when Madge took…
