I felt a sense of injustice that there were so many talented comics that, through no fault of their own, could not take part in standup comedy and I was determined to address that.

The steamy return of bathhouses is making waves, suggesting that everything old is new again, and perhaps a little sweaty too!

I love Trixie Mattel. I mean, I'm a big fan of Drag Race, but I think Trixie is kind of a unique brand. And, we were thinking, 'Who would be on The Traitors? And, you know, they always pick a drag queen. And, I thought, 'Well, if we have a choice, let's ask Trixie.'

With more than 170 floats and 10,000 marchers, the 48th Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras celebration was an explosion of colour. The rain held off until the end of the parade this year a welcome relief given the more than 100mm that Sydney experienced just a few days before.

It can be tough being gay in a straight man's world. When it comes to figuring out our identities, we often have to negotiate our desires with the preconceived expectations around us.
