On Friday, Netflix quietly dropped Dave Chappelle's newest comedy special, Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable and in it, he talked about his controversial performance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia. In the special, the comedian said that he has no problem taking money from the country because he said, "its easier to talk in Saudi Arabia for me than it is in America," and said that he was almost canceled because he joked about trans people. But, he said, "Ive gotta tell you something transgender jokes went over very well in Saudi Arabia."Chappelle has a history of making anti-trans remarks in all of his most recent standup specials from 2019 to 2022. He's been called out by other comedians for these transphobic jokes yet has still gone on to win awards and get invited to perform on significant stages. It was a shock to most comedy fans when it was announced that Chappelle, along with a host of other prominent comedians, would perform in Saudi Arabia at a new comedy festival.Many in the comedy world (and human rights groups) denounced Riyadh Comedy Festival for its ties to a government known for strict policies and widespread civil and political violations, including the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi and Saudi Minister of Entertainment Turki Al-Sheikhs noted torture of his critics. Not to mention, same-sex activity is illegal and punishable by death in Saudi Arabia. Comedians called out the festival and the headliners who agreed to perform, including Chapelle, Bill Burr, Louis C.K., Kevin Hart, Whitney Cummings, Pete Davidson, and Hannibal Buress, among others.In his special, Chappelle also addressed Charlie Kirk's assassination, sharing that he was "shook" because after news outlets reported, but then later walked back, claims that there were "pro-transgender" phrases on the bullets that killed him, "I was at home like, Oh no! Im dead as fried chicken,'" he said.Nonetheless, Chappelle boasted about taking money from the Saudi government, saying in his special, "Ill take money from Saudi Arabia any day just so I can say no over here. It feels good to be free." He continued, "And I know that the people in Saudi Arabia cant say all the things that I was allowed to say. But a deals a deal, and the king said that I could say these things. So I looked at it like I was on a diplomatic mission: Ive gotta bring pussy jokes to the Middle East.But the comedian said he doesn't "feel guilty at all" and had a few choice words for those who've spoken out against the festival: "These motherfuckers act like because I did a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia I somehow betrayed my principles They said, Well, Saudi Arabia killed a journalist, and rest in peace, Jamal Khashoggi. Im sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion. And also, look, bro, Israels killed 240 journalists in the last three months, so I didnt know yall were still counting.

After seven and a half seasons as one of Saturday Night Live's brightest stars, Bowen Yang is hanging up his hat.With five Primetime Emmy nominations, Yang is not only the most-nominated Asian male performer in Emmy history, but also one of the most memorable SNL cast members of the last 20 years, and an LGBTQ+ trailblazer."I loved working at SNL, and most of all I loved the people," Yang wrote on Instagram. "I was there at a time when many things in the world started to seem futile, but working at 30 Rock taught me the value in showing up anyway when people make it worthwhile."As a tribute to this comedy great, we're looking back at some of our favorite Bowen Yang characters and sketches on Saturday Night Live over the years.The iceberg that sank the Titanic.One of Yang's most iconic bits on SNL is when he joined Weekend Update as the Iceberg that sank the Titanic, explaining his side of the story and promoting his new "hyper-pop EDM new disco fantasia" album."First of all, you came to where I live, and you hit me!" Yang, as the iceberg says. "And before I turn around, and go like, 'what,' half my ass is gone, which was my best feature, and I'm literally injured, and all anyone cares about is 40 or 50 people died or whatever.""Well, it was 1,500 people," Weekend Update host Colin Jost replies.The Iceberg shouts, "Why are you attacking me?!"Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 46 episode 17, which aired on April 10, 2021.A proud gay Oompa-Loompa.In the buildup to Timothe Chalamet playing "twink Willy Wonka" in the Wonka film, Yang went on Weekend Update as an Oompa Loompa who is outed by Colin on live television.After beginning to read a prepared statement about an Oompa Loompa strike, he's derailed by dealing with his coming out. He tells Colin his parents live in "Loompa Land, it's not as progressive there. They, like, just got Will & Grace. So yeah, it's gonna be a conversation.""Sorry, I'm just curious, do I just give off a gay vibe?" The Oompa Loompa asks Colin.When Colin tells him he has "a lot of product in his hair," the Oompa Loompa responds, "Okay, and you just stepped out of the shower like that with yours? Pot kettle. Okay, wow, I'm being a bitch!""But honestly, it does feel nice to be out. And, I don't know, maybe now that I'm out of the closet, you can come too, Colin," he says.Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 47 episode 3, which aired on October 16, 2021.Dobby discusses J.K. Rowling.Yang has never shied away from calling out bigots and ignorance in his comedy, and in 2025, he took a shot at Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling's transphobia when he went on Weekend Update as Dobby the House Elf. A shaking Dobby insisted he wasn't nervous to "publicly weigh in on trans people" and beat himself every time he did something he thought his "master" wouldn't like."Why? Dobby doesn't know," Yang says in the sketch, "Perhaps because house elves are somehow always the problem, even though we're only 1 percent of the population. But house elves aren't the victims; Master Rowling is. She gets so much hate mail."Not even a wardrobe malfunction could stop Yang on this one!Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 51 episode 1, which aired on October 4, 2025.Sara Lee executives meet with social media manager.In this 2019 sketch, Yang and Cecily Strong play executives at food brand Sara Lee, who call in a social media manager (played by Harry Styles) to talk to him about his inappropriate and chaotic queer tweets from the Sara Lee account.The social media posts include comments on a "random fashion twink" that include "a few eggplants, water drops, a train, and a ghost emoji" and a cheesecake caption that reads, "A little moody after being used. Why do guys freak out when I ask them to spit in mouth? Need a real king that can handle. It's 8 am and have to go to hell job at sara lee. A little in my head after another threesome."Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 45 episode 6, which aired on November 16, 2019.Moo Deng comments on newfound fame.In 2024, Yang dressed up as viral baby hippo Moo Deng for a Weekend Update appearance where he called out over-zealous fans of artists like Chappell Roan while getting sprayed in the face with water from a hose and having shellfish thrown at him."Honestly, Colin, sometimes I feel like I live my life in a cage, you know? Like an animal, trapped in a zoo, for people to look at," the zoo star quips. (Yang as) Moo Deng also defends Roan, saying as a fellow viral star, he understands what she's going through."Let her take as much time as she needs for her mental health. We both deserve patience and grace so stop harassing her, and stop throwing shellfish at her," Moo Deng says. "This is what society does: it puts young women on pedestals only to knock them down with shellfish."Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 50 episode 1, which aired on September 28, 2024.Bowen's straight.When Sydney Sweeney came on SNL as a host, Bowen revealed his greatest secret: He's actually straight and plays a gay character on the show. When Sweeney laments to cast members Heidi Gardner and Ego Nwodim that she has a crush on Bowen, they encourage the actress to go for it. "Bowen pulls!" they tell her.From there, Yang puts on his best straight-face, telling Sweeney that his type is: "blonde, smart, heavy naturals" and shrugging off Sweeney after they sleep together. "Yeah, I got a lot going on," he tells her. "Plus, I got to keep up appearances with the whole 'gay' thing. It's kind of my meal ticket."Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 49 episode 13, which aired on March 2, 2024.Gay man with a straight male friend.When NFL player Travis Kelce hosted SNL, Yang produced a commercial for a "Straight Male Friend," a "low-effort, low-stakes relationship" that requires "no emotional commitment, no financial investment," and "no drama."When Bowen needs a break from his girl friends, he's able to turn to his straight male friend, a friend who won't talk about his personal problems, doesn't care if he gets ignored for months or even years. The only drawback? He "isn't perfect, and may ask blunt questions about your sex life," but don't worry, "he's only asking because he's honestly curious. There's something sweet about that."Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 48 episode 14, which aired on March 4, 2023.The trend forecasters.In Yang's final SNL episode, his former costar Aidy Bryant returned as the other half of this fabulous duo of trend forecasters on Weekend Update.

Because I want to rip you off!"

It bummed me out," he says the next time he gets on the bike. "And then I googled 'gay racism,' and that was even worse. So you know what I did?

"What else is new? America hates to see a Latina Queen winning. Since the day I was elected, it's been a witch hunt. But if I'm guilty of anything, it's for loving too much/fraud."After explaining that he'll be seen as "the modern Princess Diana" and "the modern Marilyn Monroe, he sings a beautiful rendition of Elton John's "Candle in the Wind," retitled "Scandal in the Wind."Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 49 episode 7, which aired on December 2, 2023.First openly bottom guy on 'SNL.'When Shang-Chi star Simu Liu hosted SNL in 2021, he and Yang made history as the first Asian male host and Asian male cast member to star together in an episode.In this sketch, the two men are having a first-off, bragging about being the "first Asian Marvel Lead" and "first fully Asian cast member on SNL," adding that they got awards for things like "first gay Asian cast member to mispronounce 'boutique'" and "first Asian man to deadpan on Splash Mountain.""You know, it's almost embarrassing, I didn't even tell anyone about being one of People's Sexiest Men Alive.""Weren't you the first openly bottom guy on that list?" Liu asks."I'm not open about that. Who told you that?" Yang responds."Oh, sorry, I just guessed," Liu fires back, prompting a "Oh nice! Good job!" from Yang.Where to watch: Saturday Night Live season 47 episode 7, which aired on November 20, 2021.

As 2025 comes to a close, you may be tempted to write it off as a crummy year full of rising political tensions and rough personal times, but that would be completely ignoring what made the year so great: just how horny pop culture was.Yes, the rising tide of conservatism makes us feel like puritanism has taken hold once again, but if TV shows, movies, and the candid way celebrities are talking about sex are any indication, the anti-sex contingent of the population is losing. This was an especially horny year! We were gifted with a gay hockey romance show that taught straight people what frotting is, so many celebrity thirst traps we didnt know what to do with them, and a red carpet moment that brought an A-list celebrity together with a group of leather daddies. What more could you ask for?'Pillion' red carpet kinkPillion, about a dom/sub relationship between a biker gang leader and a nervous young man who learns to lick boots and don a lockandchain collar, wont hit theaters in the U.S. until February 2026, but the red carpet events have already been incredibly kinky.Between Alexander Skarsgrd kissing Pedro Pascal when the movie premiered at Cannes to men in leather daddy outfit from a gay motorcycle club attending premiers (including someone in a pup play mask) to Skarsgrd wearing leather pants and a backless, sleeveless shirt and leather tie the one of the premiers, there has never been kinkier red carpet moments since Mia Goth led Skarsgrd around with a collar and leash.'Heated Rivalry'Heated Rivalry is the show on everyones lips as 2025 wraps up, and for good reason. Not only does the show have incredible emotional depth and plots that will have you laughing and in tears in equal measure, but it also features some of the best gay sex scenes put to film. We get to see Ilya (Connor Storrie) asking for consent in the sexiest way possible, hot rough sex, emotional and tender sex, and the best frotting scene well probably ever get on TV.Hudson WilliamsSee on InstagramFrom daring fans to get freakier to telling them, Dont be nice to me, spit in my mouth, to praising co-star Connor Storries butt, Hudson Williams has said some wild and horny things while promoting Heated Rivalry. We hope he never gets media training!'Olympo'Netflixs Olympo may be YA, but dont let that fool you, its also incredibly queer and spicy. Another show about queer athletes, the show is a combination of high-stakes drama and steamy tension that has us craving a second season. The show is so hot, the shower scene between Roque (Agustn Della Corte) and Sebas (Juan Perales) in episode 3 even made our list of the steamiest gay shower scenes.'The Hunting Wives'The Hunting Wives took Netflix by storm earlier this year and gave us some of the spiciest sapphic moments on TV. The wild plot lines, Brittany Snow and Malin Akermans insane chemistry, and a pegging scene made it one of the horniest shows on TV this year, and the internet couldnt stop talking about it. KATSEYE scissoring on stage@lollapaloozaCant stop thinking about @KATSEYE #katseye #lollapalooza : @Respective CollectiveThe girl group KATSEYE had a lot of sapphic moments this year, but their performance at Lollapalooza was definitely the hottest. Lara and Manon frequently get sexy together on stage, but this time they danced by grinding on each other and then ended up with Manon straddling Lara in a very scissoring-like position. Thirst traps (@) 2025 was the year of the thirst trap! This year, celebs were all about posting shirtless pics, workout selfies, candid sexy vacation pics, and sexy underwear campaigns that made everyones mouths water.

The horniest part about the whole experience? After she learned that it was the gay sauna destination of this country, she still decided to stick around to see what all the fuss was about and made plans to come back again later. So I still stayed! I wanted to make some friends, I was nosy, she admitted. What if I could learn a thing or two in there? They said its 24 hours so were going back after the show.Katey O'Brian is the sexiest sapphicSee on InstagramWhen actress Katy OBrian showed off her biceps in a sleeveless all-leather look while promoting her movie Queens of the Damned earlier this year, her lesbian fans were grateful. The sexy look even inspired us to investigate whether OBrian is the sexiest sapphic around because real journalism is important.Cardi B's sapphic sexual fantasy (@) On an episode of Call Her Daddy, Cardi B let loose and described her ultimate sexual fantasy, and it involved having a threesome with a woman! "I would like, in a threesome, to have a really pretty faced girl that I really like, and we both sucking dick together," she said. "But like, not just like, my turn, your turn, my turn, your turn, like, making out, clashing on it."Bushmaxxing goes viral@oliviafignewtonjohn@BABYGWY This year was so horny that even pubic hair was a hot topic of discussion. Bushmaxxing the trend of growing out your pubic hair went viral on TikTok and caused many women to skip their waxing appointments. Sapphics and lesbians have been eschewing cultural norms for decades and have felt comfortable going full bush despite what the current trend is, but now 70s bush is back in, and so is talking openly about it. Renee Rapp and Gabby Windey on scissoring and dildosFellow out lesbians celebs Rene Rapp and Gabby Windey got candid about their queer sex lives on an episode of Long Winded with Gabby Windey back in August. They talked about their love of scissoring (and yes, its a real thing), why using strap-ons is a must, and finding the perfect dildo. Like I want to bump and grind. It feels animalistic, it feels primal. It just feels like sex, Windey said of scissoring.

President Donald Trump mentioned his wifes panties during his rambling 90-miunute speech on the economy at the Rocky Mount Center in Rocky Mount, North Carolina last Friday.During the speech, he mentioned the 2022 FBIs raid to reclaim the classified government documents that he smuggled to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. Related Reeks of desperation: Trump slams trans people early in national TV address They went into my wifes closet they looked at her drawers, Trump said, according to People magazine. [My wife is] a very meticulous person Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded perfect, wrapped. Theyre, like, so perfect. I think that she steams them.At other points during his speech, Trump said that he would like to refer to his past political opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a B word but added, My wife would not be happy.He later proclaimed in his speech, Im a very aesthetic person, believe me, except with women, I dont care what a woman looks like. I used to say beautiful. Now I dont care.Trump has largely blamed the current economy on his predecessor, former President Joe Biden. However, economists largely agree that Trumps unprecedented and chaotic tariffs on foreign trading partners have also had negative effects on everyday consumer spending and business pricing.

For many queer millennials, the 2000 live-action How the Grinch Stole Christmas wasnt just a holiday movie. It was a formative experience. And no, it wasnt Jim Carreys green furball sparking feelings. It was Martha May Whovier, the glamorous, sequined, feathered, and oh-so-saucy socialite of Whoville, played to perfection by Christine Baranski.Martha May sashayed onto the screen with a sense of style that made the Whos look like they raided the clearance bin at Macys. While everyone else wore frumpy Christmas sweaters, she strutted in form-fitting gowns, red velvet bustiers, and enough glitter to make Liberace jealous. Her sculpted hourglass figure, coy grin, and sultry drawl felt like they belonged more on the runway than in a family Christmas flick. For many, that combination of camp and couture was enlightening.For queer folk, Martha Mays self-assured glamour made her an early pin-up. She wasnt just beautiful, she owned her beauty, teasing and commanding attention with every toss of her platinum updo. Theres something magnetic about a woman who knows exactly how to stop a snowball fight with just a smirk.For gay boys and queer men, she was a feast of high camp. Her outfits were practically drag in their exaggerated silhouettes and unapologetic sparkle. Her delivery of every line dripped with melodrama and innuendo, yet she remained endearingly wholesome. Martha May walked the line between holiday hostess and diva extraordinaire, giving young viewers a template for camp sensibilities before they even knew what camp was.And then theres the narrative. Martha May is the romantic interest torn between the safe, conventional choice, Whovilles bumbling mayor, and the misunderstood, dramatic outsider, the Grinch. Sound familiar? To LGBTQ+ audiences, that dynamic felt almost allegorical. She longed for the one who didnt fit in, who challenged Whovilles status quo, who lived on the fringes in a cave full of DIY couture. Who among us hasnt been that Grinch at one point or another?Even 20-plus years later, Martha May remains a holiday icon. Social media still lights up every December with memes and fan edits to her over-the-top wardrobe. Drag queens have recreated her looks. LGBTQ+ film lovers analyze her as a camp archetype. And for a generation, she remains proof that holiday movies can be a little bit naughty, even when theyre trying to be nice.So this season, as you rewatch How the Grinch Stole Christmas, keep an eye on Martha May Whovier. She wasnt just decorating her house with a cannon that shot Christmas lights, she was decorating our imaginations, planting little seeds of gay awakening that still sparkle today.Source

A psychologist is speaking out about what it means that the president keeps taking cognitive tests, explaining that Donald Trumps doctors are likely past the point of trying to figure out whether he is suffering from dementia and are now just monitoring his decline.Former Johns Hopkins University Medical School professor of psychology, Dr. John Gartner,spoke withThe Daily Beastabout the three Montreal Cognitive Assessments (MoCA) Trump has undergone this year and said they could be a sign of just how quickly Trumps cognitive state is deteriorating. Related Trumps lesbian niece explains presidents mental decline in just 4 words You know, he kind of gave the game away, as he often does, Gartner said, referring to Trump bragging about taking the test repeatedly.You could maybe justify giving someone the MoCA once, just on their age, just as part of a physical. If youre giving it to him three times, that means youre not assessing dementia. That means youre monitoring dementia. Insights for the LGBTQ+ community Subscribe to our briefing for insights into how politics impacts the LGBTQ+ community and more. Subscribe to our Newsletter today Gartner also brought up the MRI Trump recently underwent in October. Trump claimed that he didnt even know what body part the MRI scanned a bizarre claim considering how long MRIs take, how noisy they are, how obvious it is which body part is getting scanned, and how doctors dont order such tests without explaining their reasoning to patients. Because if you keep feeling like, no, hes still got the symptoms, weve got to see how bad hes doing now, weve got to check again, see how bad hes doing now I think theyre giving him cognitive tests and MRIs every six months to monitor the progress of his dementia, and/or strokes, Gartner said. We have to judge people against their own baseline, and if somebody doubles their rate of speed, thats a mental status change of some kind, he continued. Trump bragged about the cognitive tests as recently as this past Friday during a rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, where he stressed that his most recent cognitive test was not easy.Nobody on that stand could answer, probably, and I got em, I aced em, he added, pointing to a section of the audience.The first question is like, What is this? And they show a lion, a giraffe, a fish, and a hippopotamus. And they say, Which is the giraffe?' he recounted. It then gets harder! Trump: I took cognitive tests. By the way, not easy.

The state of Massachusetts has eliminated an LGBTQ+ inclusive policy requiring that foster parents commit to affirming the gender identities and sexual orientations of the children in their care. The change came about after the right-wing hate group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) sued on behalf of two religious foster families who refused to commit to providing affirming homes. Related Christian couple loses foster license after refusing to provide affirming home for LGBTQ+ youth The original policy took effect in 2022 and asked foster parents to commit to creating environments that are safe, affirming, and free from discrimination, harassment, and bullying for all children, youth, and families regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.Language regarding sexual and gender identity has now been removed. Instead, the policy reportedly requires parents to support a childs individual identity and needs.

But this case will not end until we are positive that Massachusetts is committed to respecting religious persons and ideological diversity among foster parents. ADF argued that the policy violated the families First Amendment rights. The group was bolstered by the current administration, which sent a letter to the states Department of Children and Families (DCF) in support of the lawsuit. Andrew Gradison, acting assistant secretary for the Administration for Children and Families, told the agency that the nondiscrimination policy is deeply troubling, clearly contrary to the purpose of child welfare programs, and in direct violation of First Amendment protections. In the wake of the change, DCF Commissioner Staverne Miller told Fox News Digital(which referred to the original policy as a controversial gender ideology mandate), The Department of Children and Families top priority is providing a safe and supportive home for all children in foster care. We are also committed to ensuring that no one is prevented from applying or reapplying to be a foster parent because of their religious beliefs. Alex J. Adams, assistant secretary for the Administration for Children and Families at HHS, told Fox News Digital that the states policy update is a good first step but warned there will be diligent follow-up to ensure the red carpet is rolled out to all foster families. Polly Crozier, director of family advocacy at LGBTQ+ civil rights organization GLAD Law, which is based in Boston, told GBH she has been troubled all along by the litigation and by what I see as really a deflection away of our state resources, of our focus on where they should be, which is on children and families.Nothing about the change distracts from the fact that the state remains responsible for the safety and well being of every child in this care and that includes LGBTQ children, she emphasized. LGBTQ+ youth are disproportionately represented in the foster care system. A 2019studyfrom the American Academy of Pediatrics found that 30.4% of foster youth identify as LGBTQ+ and 5% identify as trans, compared to 11.2% and 1.17%, respectively, of non-foster youth.The organization Childrens Rights cites several other studies regarding the increased challenges LGBTQ+ youth face in the foster system, including the fact that 44% have either been removed, thrown out, or run away from their home as a result of their identities. These youth are also at higher risk of abuse, institutionalization, and discrimination, and are less likely to find a permanent home before aging out.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
