@Hulu's @lovevictorhulu — the spinoff series inspired by "Love, Simon" — comes to its conclusion in its third and final season. The series feels more sharply-written as its storylines resolve. As Season Two ended, Victor's (@itsmichaelcimino) relationship with Benji (@gsear) seemed in doubt, as Benji caught sight of Victor in a clench with new friend Rahim (@anthonykeyvan). Dashing off into the night, Victor made his choice between the two, turning up at the door of...But let's not spoil that. Suffice to say, every choice has its consequences, and what comes next blindsides Victor in the most painful way possible. Season Three shoehorns a lot into its fairly meager allotment of episodes — too much, really; it's inevitable that some relationships will feel underdeveloped, and some storylines have a rushed, truncated quality. That said, the show's humor is better than ever, and the best one-liners more equitably distributed. This feels like a more mature show, too, though in some ways that maturity seems a bit over the top. That said, the more mature approach also allows for greater realism in both matters of the heart and the way parents handle their kids' growing up. "Love, Victor" has grown into its own story — just in time for the story to end, alas. But this cast of likable characters have, like the series, come into their own; they will thrive just fine in fans' imaginations. Watch on @Disneyplus or @Hulu June 15.⁠

Writer/director Stephen Dunn ("Closet Monster") has taken the "Queer as Folk" torch from Russell T. Davies (with his blessing) and fashioned an exciting and inclusive reboot of the beloved show. Premiering June 9th on @PeacockTV, this taboo-smashing series is sure to be one of the most talked about of the year. Dunn manages to keep things familiar while radically changing them. EDGE has your guide to the top ten reasons this show is must-binge!⁠

@billyeichner, the out co-writer and star of the upcoming gay romcom @brosthemovie, said that Hollywood is "very accepting on the surface," but scratch that surface and you'll find homophobia, Page Six reported. In June 5 comments made to the publication while attending the MTV Movie and TV Awards, Eichner opined that "Hollywood has often been very accepting on the surface but very homophobic underneath the surface and very hypocritical." "And a lot of decisions" around what stories are being made into movies "have been made based on fear — fears that I think are often irrational — and yet, people were scared," Eichner went on to say. "You know, a lot of it was based around what they think the mainstream audience would or would not accept," he added. "And that's pretty infuriating when you think about it." In response, Page Six noted, "Eichner set his sights on creating a movie that would paint a real, relatable and eye-opening, yet light-hearted, picture of what it's like to date — in today's day and age — as a queer person." In doing so, Eichner has already broken new ground; with "Bros," he is "the first openly gay man to co-write and star in his own major studio film," The Hollywood Reporter noted. What's more, the principal cast are entirely LGBTQ+... even the straight roles. "I'm happy that we're here, and it's a movie that's really a long time coming," Eichner told Page Six.⁠

It's a movie about gay men written and directed by an Asian-American man and starring Asian-American male actors in the lead roles amongst an ethnically diverse cast. Given the singularity of these details, it can only be the new @Hulu rom-com "Fire Island" from filmmaker @ihatejoelkim, a movie that's been greeted with enthusiasm by its target audience. But, reports say, "Fire Island" has also drawn criticism for supposedly failing the Bechdel test, a metric invented by out lesbian cartoonist Alison Bechdel to assess works based on, among other criteria, whether female characters talk with each other about something other than men. The film "is a modern, queer rewrite of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice,'" Newsweek said, "starring Bowen Yang as the lead alongside Conrad Ricamora, Matt Rogers, Tomas Matos and Torian Miller." "Margaret Cho also plays a housemother on the vacation," the article noted. Apparently, it was Cho's role that drew the condemnation of New York Magazine's Hanna Rosin, a writer who has also been a podcast co-host for NPR. "So hulu #FireIslandMovie gets an F- on the Bechdel test in a whole new way," Rosin sent out in a June 6 tweet. "Do we just ignore the drab lesbian stereotypes bc cute gay Asian boys? Is this revenge for all those years of the gay boy best friend?" The tweet prompted a barrage of pushback. The question of how well "Fire Island" fulfills the requirements of the Bechdel Test aside, the film has also received some criticism from within the gay community for its supposed reliance on ripped male physiques — even as Joel Kim Booster's screenplay builds in pointed observations about various forms of racial and body-focused discrimination in the gay world.⁠

Just in time to kick off Pride, rock icon @melissa_etheridge is bringing her brand-new "One Woman Band" residency to a few of her favorite cities. Inspired by the livestreamed, at-home performances that she offered during the pandemic, "One Woman Band" is exactly that: Etheridge — and only Etheridge — providing all the instrumentation and vocals, building each song live on a looper. Unlike anything she's ever done before, these intimate residencies will allow both fans — and Etheridge herself — to connect with her material like never before. EDGE chats with Etheridge about what to expect during the show, achieving EGOT status, and the two current musicians she can't get enough of.⁠

In a wide-ranging interview with Esquire, @elliotpage recounted being bullied at school, almost getting bashed by a random stranger, and the trauma of being forced by a studio to wear a dress for the premiere of his 2007 breakout film "Juno." Variety recalled that "The Jason Reitman-directed abortion drama served as a breakthrough for Page, who earned an Oscar nomination for his performance as the title character." Referring to times when "people actively were like, 'No, you need to wear a dress' in very, very, very pivotal moments," Page recounted how, for "the premiere of 'Juno' at the Toronto International Film Festival" he "said I wanted to wear a suit, and Fox Searchlight was basically like, 'No, you need to wear a dress.'" "And they took me in a big rush to one of those fancy stores on Bloor Street," the actor, who came out as transgender in late 2020, went on to say. "They had me wear a dress, and... that was that." Except it wasn't quite that simple for Page, who wasn't out yet. Page remembered the look of a co-star from the film: "Michael Cera was in slacks and sneakers. I look back at the photos, and I'm like...?" Variety noted how Page called the studio's treatment of him "fucked up," and "pointed out there are many heterosexual cis women who don't like to wear dresses, so it's not like this is just a trans issue." Page also noted that for cisgender people, the depth of the pain he felt might be impossible to comprehend. "Oh, fuck you, you're famous, and you have money, and you had to wear a dress, boo-hoo," Page imagined cis-het people thinking. "I don't not understand that reaction," Page allowed. "But that's mixed with: 'I wish people would understand that that shit literally did almost kill me.'"⁠

Of the six Dutch Caribbean islands, the most visited may be Aruba and Sint Maarten, but less-frequented Curaçao has more to offer of nearly everything. Except crowds. With a walloping 743 listed monuments in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Curaçao's capital city, Willemstad, you'll find an astounding array of colorful alleys and waterfronts here, far better preserved and populated than in seemingly "similar" islands. And if you're here for the beaches (it is the Caribbean, after all), you're in luck: The southern coastline is home to 38 jaw-droppers of glittering turquoise hemmed in by romantic cliffs, and most of them are public. And if cocktails by the pool is at the top of your must-list, there's no other island in the Caribbean with a liqueur named after it. From snorkeling and diving to sunset sails and club hopping, Curaçao checks every item on your island bucket list with a fraction of the tourists, and it's often hailed as the most LGBT-friendly island in the entire Caribbean. Here's where to stay and what to do for a seamless tropical escape in Curaçao.⁠

Sex scenes are difficult, but @jbayleaf is a professional ... well at least most of the time. In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the "Bridgerton" season 2 star opened up about how unsexy filming sex scenes can be and shared the tricks of the trade. As swoon-worthy Anthony Bridgerton, Bailey revealed that he gets "bit embarrassed" of filming steamy scenes. For example, during his infamous bathtub scene where he sits brooding, there was a camera between his legs. "So it was almost like a water birth," says Bailey. "And I remember afterwards, I was so appalled at myself over the day that we had experienced and so confused, because you can't really explain it to anyone." So appalled that Bailey left the set in a hurry. He explains, "It was just when the rules changed and you could go meet people outside, so I went to a pub that night and had a pint with my mates." Then he noticed that he was "chafing a bit." "When I got up to get the second round," Bailey remembers, "I realized I still had my modesty thong on, because I was so traumatized and I ran so quickly from set that I hadn't even taken off my little pouch. I still have it to this day."⁠

The 56-second spot features the two discussing how they had broken up "for, like, five months" and "didn't know if we were going to get back together," but "then it was kismet" — and they were reunited more happily than before. The secret? "We really began to invest in our friendship," and "came back together a happier, healthier version of ourselves — and then we got to share that with the other person." As the voiceover continues, the video montage shows the couple lying in bed together, cuddling, talking — and sporting Calvin Klein clothing, including bright blue briefs emblazoned with the slogan, "This is Love." That Grape Juice recalled that "the pair came out as queer and confirmed their relationship in June 2020." The #MyCalvins campaign started in 2014, Highsnobiety recalled, and has become a "huge global campaign" in the years since then.⁠

@TheCW has announced that Season 7 of the long-running @thecwriverdale will be the series' last, according to Variety. The series premiered in 2017 and "proved to be a major hit for The CW upon its debut," Variety said, going on to add that it "exploded in popularity once it became available on @Netflix." However, ratings have "fallen off some in recent seasons," the Hollywood Reporter noted, specifying that its "current season, airing on Sunday nights, is averaging just under half a million viewers after a week of delayed viewing." The cancellation comes "as The CW is paring down its lineup of scripted originals," THR said. Based on the long-running "Archie" comics — which generally have been the most G-rated of comic books (though they have dived into more mature areas and have also been LGBTQ+ supportive) — the series, created by @writerras, sought to bring a darker edge to the property. Over the show's six seasons, its characters have been sexually active and have wrestled with real-world problems like crime, drug use, youth homelessness, and parental abandonment. The storylines have involved homicides, and even seen lead character Archie Andrews (played by New Zealand actor @kjapa) spend stretches of time in jail. Variety detailed that the final season will commence in 2023, joining the CW lineup at mid-season. ⁠
