Sykes opened her remarks by thanking the Golden Globes for having her, "because you know there's some people pissed off that a queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys." She then proceeded to gently roast the category's six nominees, including Brett Goldstein, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, and Sarah Silverman. When it came to two of the nominees, however, Sykes got a bit more savage.

Nazi-sympathizer and billionaire Elon Musk said he wants full custody of the son he had with conservative author Ashley St. Clair, claiming that "her statements [imply] she might transition a one-year-old boy." Musk's comment came after St. Clair publicly criticized Musk for helping generate pornographic images of kids and apologizing for her past transphobia. Musk already has an estranged trans daughter, Vivian Jenna Wilson, who has disavowed his transphobia.

It is embedded in how I live. Specifically, writing everything that I dream of, and everything that fails me, all of the emotional reality. Often, there are things I'm afraid to say, and then I put them in my writing, and they're said. Then I can say it! I can read it in the book, and people aren't that shocked by it. Often, what people are shocked by has nothing to do with what I'm afraid of.

Whether you know Robert Irwin from his thrilling routines on Dancing with the Stars last year, that underwear campaign, or simply his conservation and wildlife work there's one thing you really should know, he's a "proud" LGBTQ+ ally. The son of the late 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin, Robert has taken after his father in terms of working with animals as well as his good looks and killer charm.

People can judge and say what they want, but at the end of the day, that's my child, and I'm going to love my baby regardless of what anybody says. And they should be allowed to have anonymity and enjoy their life exactly the way they want to enjoy it.

Enter Heated Rivalry (Saturday 10 January, 9pm, Sky Atlantic), a Canadian queer romp so hot it threatens to scorch the ice it skates upon. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are star players from Montreal and Moscow respectively, mysteriously drawn to each other on the rink, in the full glare of the media. Well, not that mysteriously. The co-leads get down to business almost immediately, with a not-quite meet cute in a shower room.

Eli Erlick's journey "starts with my story being a trans girl who came out in 2003 - before we were supposed to have existed, according to the mainstream media right now," she tells PinkNews. A couple of years ago, frustrated with the "erasure of trans history" and continued anti-trans narratives, she began writing a history book. It spotlights underreported trans stories from 1850 to 1950, including some experiences that "haven't been told in 120 years".

In response, Williams said he didn't think there was an easy answer, noting "there are straight women, there are trans women, there are gay women, like queer women" who are fans. However, in the clip initially shared by Quinn, Williams says: "There are straight women, there are gay women, like queer women," with "trans women" edited out. On 3 January, the Quinn X account responded to a user who called out the edit.

'Rebel Dykes' is a retrospective term to describe a raucous, unapologetic community of activist, sex-positive lesbians who lived on the very fringes of society in 1980s London - many of them squatting in areas such as Brixton and Peckham - and who ran riot through both the decade and city. The group's origins can be traced back to the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp of the early 1980s, which itself was a liberating feminist space and a place to explore sapphic sexuality.

In this episode: coming out. Academia can think of itself as an area that can ask the difficult questions. Science, after all, is all about getting to the bottom of things, seeking an understanding of the world around us in all its complexity. But when it comes to the complexity of researchers themselves, academia can often struggle to have the tough conversations.

"Until the LGBTQ+ community distances itself from all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Zionism, our allies will continue to fall away, and we will remain defenceless in the face of attack," she wrote. "Zionists have always been at the core of LGBTQ+ progress, from Magnus Hirschfield to Elizabeth Taylor, from Larry Kramer to [Edith] Windsor. Their Zionism sprung from their humanitarianism, as did their LGBTQ+ activism."

"My son came out as trans six months ago and his father hasn't looked at him since. Just walks past him in the hallway like he's invisible," the mother wrote in a post published by the X user @crazyvibes_1. "My boy is 17, sleeping on our couch because his dad changed the locks on his bedroom door, said he won't have 'that confusion' under his roof."

The bill, modeled on Russia's ban on LGBTQ+ speech, included fines and jail time for people found to have spread pro-LGBTQ+ messages in the media (including education and advertising materials) or on social media. The bill bans "the use of media, literature, entertainment, and other events that promote non-traditional sexual relations and pedophilia," linking LGBTQ+ identities with child sex abuse, an old negative stereotype used to drum up support for homophobia.

Dr Luke Brunning, lecturer in Applied Ethics at the University of Leeds, said of the findings: "For some, heteroflexible will describe accurately how they experience attraction or typically behave. For others, it might be more of a promise-to-self, something they want to look into further, explore, or which they hope they will be in a position to experience in the future." Dr Brunning added that the flexibility could be viewed "negatively" as a "deviation" from the heterosexual standard, especially for men who may "suffer extensive bi-erasure" or be "unable to accept they are 'actually gay'".

Oddo completed his novitiate, wrote a doctoral dissertation, and entered the priesthood in the wake of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, often known as Vatican II, which met between 1962 and 1965. Vatican II ushered in dramatic, liberal changes to the Catholic Church, including allowing Masses to be said in vernacular languages instead of Latin and embracing ecumenism, or dialog with other Christian faiths.

In a 25-page sentencing memorandum filed Tuesday, Corado's lawyer, Pleasant S. Brodnax III, asked U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden to impose a time-served sentence rather than incarceration, citing her lack of prior criminal history, decades of LGBTQ+ advocacy, and what the filing describes as the uniquely severe and dangerous conditions transgender women now face in federal custody, under the Trump administration.

Related: Federal HR office sets deadline for government-wide purge of transgender and nonbinary inclusion OPM sent a letter to insurance carriers last year saying that as of 2026, "chemical and surgical modification of an individual's sex traits through medical interventions (to include 'gender transition"' services) will no longer be covered under the FEHB or PSHB Programs. There is a narrow exception for people who are mid-treatment.
