Nine Trashy But Scary Halloween Movies

by
Drag Me to Hell

Is it just me, or do LGBTI people have a thing for scary movies? I’ve encountered enough gay horror aficionados in my time to say: quite possibly. So ahead of Halloween on Monday 31 October, we’re revisiting our favourite absurdly camp – but surprisingly decent – horror flicks of the oft-overlooked variety. Some are criminally underrated. Others have fallen off radar since release. The rest commonly find themselves overshadowed by their bigger blockbuster brothers and sisters (sometimes within their own franchise). Whatever the case, we say pass on seeing Scream form the 100th time (although obviously that’s one of the … Read more

Bryan Fuller has left the bridge of his new CBS series, “Star Trek: Discovery,” reports Variety, but apparently will remain within communication range. He’s being replaced as showrunner by executive producers Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts, according to the report. Berg and Harberts worked with Fuller on ABC’s “Pushing Daisies.” Fuller will reportedly retain his title as executive producer, and it’s his vision that the show will follow. He wrote the first two episodes which will soon be filmed, Variety said. Fuller reportedly will still be involved in breaking stories. By Dawn Ennis – Full Story at LGBTQ Nation

“Black Mirror” Buries “Bury Your Guys”

black-mirror-san-junipero

If you identify as being anything other than straight, you know that living life under the rainbow flag can be difficult. From canceling your gym membership because it’s become a depressing graveyard of Grindr hookups, to strangers revealing that between their legs dangles the Excalibur of schlongs, primed to magically turn any lesbian back into a peen-loving heterosexual, life comes with its own unique set of downsides. Oh, and then there’s the whole being verbally or physically assaulted and occasionally fearing for your life thing. All this being said though, at least us real-life LGBTQ’ers aren’t (for the most part) … Read more

“ResurrXion” X-Men Arc to Begin With Solo Gay Iceman Series

by
Iceman

Marvel has big plans for the X-Men. The “Death of X” storyline, which began in October, will reveal exactly what happens before everything explodes in “Inhumans vs. X-Men.” But what about after the dust settles? Apparently an Iceman solo comic will narrate the fallout in the first installment of the revival series, titled “ResurrXion.” The X-Men’s current status is shaky at best. Currently under threat by the spread of Terrigen Mist, the mutant population is slowly shrinking in size. To add insult to injury, the mist also sterilizes them, preventing any future mutants from being born. Iceman, aka Bobby Drake, … Read more

JK Rowling has hinted that the relationship between gay wizard characters Dumbledore and Grindelwald will be central to her upcoming Harry Potter spin-off films. Rowling has penned the script for upcoming film Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, starring Eddie Redmayne, which is set in the same universe as the Harry Potter films but takes place in 1920s New York. The setting of the film rules out the return of many fan favourites from the Potter franchise, who were not alive in the 1920s – but some speculated speculating that the film could feature a young version of beloved … Read more

Asta’s Annotations: The Path to LGBT Fiction

by

Today I thought it might be interesting to discuss how we all came to LGBT fiction, whether as readers or writers.   For me, it all started with the film Van Helsing in 2004. Meeting fellow fans through the LiveJournal account I had at the time led me to discover fan fiction, and slash in particular. One of my earliest serious attempts at writing was a fan fiction with a Dracula/Van Helsing back story. I’ve written the occasional piece since—Rimmer/Lister (Red Dwarf), Hannibal/Will (Hannibal), Ragnar/Athelstan (Vikings), Sherlock/John (Sherlock), Steve/Loki (Avengers) etc.—and I still read a story or two when a … Read more
