Nicholas Galitzine’s queer characters ranked, from Legends to Mary & George

admin, , , ,

Who reigns supreme? Angelo, Connor, Timmy, Henry or George? WORDS BY SAM DAMSHENAS HEADER BY YOSEF PHELAN The maths are in: 31.25% of Nicholas Galtizine’s roles are of the limp-wrist nature. With five out of 16 of his characters (not including his trailblazing role as “barista” in After Louise) identifying as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, the British actor has become one of the most notable faces in queer storytelling over the past decade. (That number increases to 37.5% with the inclusion of Bottoms, the lesbian comedy in which he stars…

Drag Race: Dawn clears up lip-sync smackdown confusion

admin, , , ,

RuPaul’s Drag Race star Dawn has clarified her actions during last week’s Lip Sync LaLaPaRuza Smackdown. Ahead of the season 16 finale, the eliminated contestants returned to the competition to duke it out in nine lip-syncs for the title of ‘Queen of She Done Already Done Had Herses’ and a cash prize of $50,000. For a majority of the lip-syncs, the queens were chosen at random and tasked with selecting their opponent, who then had the privilege of deciding the song. In round one, Dawn made the decision to battle her…

Grindr is releasing a brand new feature in their mission to deliver a “gayborhood in your pocket”.

Users will be able to change their geographic region for up to one hour, allowing the traveler to socialise with members of that community. This differs from Grindr’s current Explore feature, which allows users to check out other profiles in different regions…

GAY TIMES finds that up to 1000 people have died of possible chemsex-related harms in the past decade, so why are police attending callouts instead of ambulances?

Ian McKellen is a delight in Robert Icke’s modern adaptation of Henry IV – review

admin, , , ,

Given that Sir Ian McKellen is one of the great Shakespearean actors, it’s perhaps surprising that he’s never taken on the role of Falstaff, one of Shakespeare’s best-loved anti-heroes. Until now, that is: in Player Kings, Robert Icke’s modern-dress adaptation of Henry IV Parts 1 & 2, we see Sir Ian – in an amusingly silly fat suit – take on the comic relief role. He’s an entertaining counterfoil to the more serious Prince Hal, played brilliantly by the excellent Toheeb Jimoh. Player Kings is two plays in one and,…
