@billyeichner revealed a very consistent, and very gay, personal arc in a recent interview in which he discussed @brosthemovie, homophobia in Hollywood, and his next big gay project. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Eichner revealed how homophobia in Hollywood â both in the town's behind-the-camera machinations and the messaging of the movies â affected him when he was just starting out his career. A onetime self-described "theater kid growing up in New York" whose dream was to succeed on Broadway, Eichner noted that budding performers "don't sit there as a kid thinking, 'Oh, I could be the star of this movie, if only I wasn't gay.'" Indeed, Eichner explained, "I went to see Steve Martin and Tom Hanks movies and I thought, 'Oh, I could do something like that.' It was only when I was in my mid-twenties when I started to think, 'Oh, I guess I'll be lucky if I can just play the neighbor on a sitcom.' Because that's what Hollywood was telling me."â â Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetworkâ ????â ?: @billyeichner
@iammichelemorroneofficial may best be known for his ongoing role in Netflix's "365 Days" franchise. Morrone is also a self-taught musician. (He taught himself guitar at 25.) "365 Days" included a number of his original songs, which he packaged together in his first album "Dark Room." In the past year, he's released a number of singles ("Beautiful," "Another Day"); add to it his latest: "Player," which was released today in an audio format, with a video to be released shortly. In "Player," he reflects on the search for true love with another emotionally charged and engaging performance. It speaks to his uncanny ability to inhabit a song and bring it to life in vivid and vibrant color.â â Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetworkâ ????â ?: @iammichelemorroneofficial

Nour never felt entirely safe as a #queer person in #Lebanon. But in the past few years, the 25-year-old pharmacist had begun letting his guard down, meeting with friends in LGBTQ-friendly spaces in Beirut and even performing in drag shows. He now opts to stay at home, fearing for his safety more than ever after a wave of anti-LGBTQ hate speech that followed last month's decision by the Lebanese Interior Ministry to shut down any events aimed at promoting "sexual perversion." â â Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetworkâ ?ď¸â?â¤ď¸??â ?: AP

A state senator in Rhode Island who was suspended from TikTok after posting a video in which she twerked while doing a handstand in a bikini says she has no regrets. Sen. Tiara Mack (@mackdistrict6), a 28-year-old Providence Democrat, is Black and queer and dismissed any criticism of the 8-second clip as "misogyny, classism and racism" in a phone interview Wednesday. "My behavior on my Twitter, Instagram and TikTok are consistent with a young millennial who is in office and challenging norms," Mack said. "I'm showing that leadership looks different and welcoming people into the many different facets of my life." Her TikTok account was restored after being banned Tuesday. Spokespersons for the social media app did not respond for comment as to why Mack was suspended. The clip has amassed more than 220,000 views since she posted it over the July Fourth weekend. "My community stands in overwhelming support of me," Mack said. "They know exactly what these attacks are and what these attacks can do, especially for a queer person of color." She says the snippet â which ends with her cheerfully saying, "Vote Sen. Mack!" â was part of a series of clips shot with friends on Block Island, a popular beach getaway off Rhode Island. "It was a way to show that elected officials can be silly and have fun and enjoy a day off," said Mack, who was elected in 2020. She believes the TikTok suspension was the result of an online campaign stemming from a bill she proposed this year that would require Rhode Island schools to provide sex education courses that "affirmatively recognize pleasure based sexual relations, different sexual orientations and be inclusive of same-sex relationships."â â Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetworkâ ?ď¸â???â¤ď¸â ?: @mackdistrict6 / Philip Marcelo for AP
He's billed himself as "The World's Strongest Gay." This week @ worlds_strongest_gay (Rob Kearney) opened up in a TV interview about being out, proud, and married to another man while being active in a hyper-masculine sport. Talking with ABC News program Nightline, Kearney recalled that he always knew he was "different" when he was a not-so-athletic kid, but "I never accepted as to why. It was always just pushed to the back of my mind. And I never wanted to deal with it." Kearney said "it was in the weight room where like I really found myself," but it wasn't he was in college and in a relationship with a young woman that he was finally ready to accept himself and embrace authenticity. "I kind of had this epiphany and I was like, 'I can't do this anymore," Kearney recalled. "Here I am thinking I'm living this heteronormative life and going to have that white picket fence life with a wife and kids, and I'm finally realizing that's not what I want, and that's not what's going to make me happy." From there, the strongman told Nightline, it was a short step to another realization: That "if people didn't like it about me, I didn't need them to accept it. I was finally accepting myself. And that was opening up these doors that I never knew existed." Among those doors that were opening up was the door to the closet. As reported at the EDGE at the time, Kearney came out publicly in 2014. "I think all too often gay men are seen as weak," Kearney told Nightline. "And they're typically portrayed as you know, feminine, flamboyant, and that's really it." But, he added, "Gay doesn't have to look a certain way. Here I am as a gay man with a mohawk and these muscles and competing at the highest level of this hyper-masculine sport of Strongman.â â Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetworkâ ????â ?: @worlds_strongest_gay
