Ricky Martin is taking a stand and speaking out against homophobic comments. The Latino pop star recently received backlash after gracing the cover of Cap 74024 with his husband Jwan Ysof in a shirtless tender embrace and posting the photo on Instagram. As reported by Yahoo, Martin followed up the post with another message in Spanish clarifying what he wants to say to those posting anti-gay messages about his photos. "What I didn't expect, especially after all the work that has been done for so many years, is that a large number of people decided to stop following us or comment in a derogatory way," said Martin in Spanish, Yahoo reports. "Of course, it is not the number of followers that worries me, it is the message behind [their] decision that has caused me the same feeling I had years ago before sharing publicly about my sexual orientation. That same fear that paralyzed me, tormented me and would not let me be." Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ???? (?️: Emell D.

Irish rugby player Jack Dunne came out publicly as bisexual, the Irish newspaper The Independent reports. Dunne is an Irish rugby union player who is currently a member of the Leinster team. The athlete spoke publicly about his sexuality last Saturday as part of a Leinster Rugby panel discussion, "Building Allies with Pride," as well as appearing on BBC's LGBT Sport Podcast, where he discussed how he first told team-mates in school. The Dunne, 22, expressed that "maybe there are some kids across the country who could do with a role model." "I've been out as bisexual for four or five years now - but not out in the media," he explained. He explained how peer pressure kept him in the closet. "I kind of realized when I was 15 or 16, but you are in a school full of of teenage boys. A lot of them would say things that they wouldn't even be thinking about, but they are just doing it out of ignorance," he said. "So when you hear that you kind of just want to keep it to yourself."

What does vacation look like in 2021? We're all pondering that question as we play catch-up after more than a year of minimal travel. Surrounding ourselves with loved ones has taken top priority. Destinations that offer plenty of outdoor space, diverse dining options and the chance to decompress are appealing to many of us who crave the time to relax, rejuvenate and shake off the past year. On June 15, California officially reopened, offering a much-celebrated return (for those who are vaccinated) to the activities we love. Greater Palm Springs, long revered as a respite from the daily grind, is ready with open arms. Summer, in particular, is the region's hidden gem. As the temperatures rise, the prices drop on some of your favorite hotels, and there are still plenty of ways to cool off, from splash-worthy water parks and hand-crafted ice cream to a refreshing margarita. Greater Palm Springs is also one of the most popular destinations for LGBTQ travelers. From body-positive clothing-optional resorts to popular LGBTQ-friendly hotel brands like Kimpton and Marriott, everyone is welcome. Come nighttime, there are plenty of queer venues to meet up with friends or make new ones. And when the sun rises (which it nearly always does with more than 300 days of sunshine per year), a new day brings a new adventure. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ?☀️?️‍?

The hit HBO Max series "Hacks" focuses on the relationship between a famous Joan Riveresque stand-up comic, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), with her career on the skids and a Millennial writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) she hires to make her relevant. While there is nothing sexual (except in a dream sequence) about their relationship, "Hacks" is surprisingly queer-friendly and filled with queer content. Not only is Ava gay, coming out of a bad relationship; but so is Deborah's right hand Marcus (Carl Clemons-Hopkins), who hooks up with a local water inspector Wilson (Johnny Sibilly); as is another of Deborah's personal assistant, Damien, (Mark Indelicato, who previously portrayed Justin on "Ugly Betty.") Making it authentic is that each of these four actors is out as gay or bi in real life. On the show, Wilson comes to Deborah's Vegas mansion to cite her for water usage but hooks up with Marcus. In a subsequent episode, Marcus fabricates a water emergency to hook up with Wilson a second time is understandable given Sibilly's looks. But as the show progresses, Sibilly's part became more nuanced and integral to the plot. No doubt he'll have a larger one in Season Two. The actor also recently caught the eye of Colton Underwood and was seen with him this week in Mexico. "Hacks" isn't Sibilly's first role on series television. He was seen on "Pose" as Billy Porter's boyfriend Costas, who died of complications of AIDS in the hit show's first season. While his appearance on the show was brief, he tweeted how important the show was in his life. Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork ???? (?: Johnny Sibilly Instagram / @johnnysibilly)

As the pandemic wanes, the world opens up, and tourism recommences, resorts and hotels have begun embracing LGBTQ travelers as never before, Business Insider reports. Cultivating the LGBTQ demographic will be crucial as travel and tourism make a comeback following the ravaging effects of COVID-19 shutdowns. Business Insider examined how hotel chains and resorts go beyond rainbow labeling and put some serious thought, infrastructure upgrades and staff training. Often, inclusive hospitality lies not just with a welcoming and non-judgmental attitude from staff, but also with small but noticeable things like two shaving mirrors that accompany dual sinks in the bathroom, as at South African safari lodge Cheetah Plains, the article pointed out. And while lawmakers in some U.S. states trip over each other in a race to pass transphobic legislation, some properties are taking pains to extend trans and non-binary guests the courtesy of gender-neutral restrooms, like those found at Contiki's Chateau De Cruix in the French Beaujolais region... or, closer to home, Kimpton's Winston-Salem property, the Kimpton Cardinal, in North Carolina, home of the nation's most notorious "bathroom bill."

In Variety this week, writer Marc Malkin recalled the ingenious way he got to Cher. Speaking of the encounter in a new interview with the legendary musician, Malkin recalled how, a few years go, they crossed paths on the red carpet at a Mike Nichols event. He and other reporters shouted questions, but she ignored them and walked on. "Feeling courageous — or maybe more desperate — I yelled out as loud as I could, 'Cher!' She turned around. When our eyes met, I screamed, 'I'm gay.' "Cher smiled and came over to me. I got my interview." In sharing his recollection with the superstar on the "Just for Variety" podcast, Cher jokingly responded, "You said the magic word. And it worked. ... It shows my commitment." That, Malkin recalled, went, way, way back to when 10-year old Cherilyn Sarkisian realized that gay men were more fun than those who were straight. It was when her mom introduced her to a group of hairdressers during a Palm Springs weekend. "I thought, 'Why are these men so much more fun than the men I know?' because I only knew straight men from my father and his friends. They were always great but wouldn't joke around as much," she remembered. "That's when it first happened to me, when I was 10. It was kind of a love affair from then on."

After coming out as gay in an Instagram post, Carl Nassib is officially the LGBTQ sports MVP as sales for his Las Vegas Raiders jersey have since skyrocketed, ESPN reported. "In the 24 hours since Carl Nassib became the first active NFL player to come out as gay, the Las Vegas Raiders defensive end's jersey has been the top-selling item across the league, according to Fanatics," ESPN reports. "Fanatics, the NFL's official e-commerce partner, said Nassib has had the top-selling NFL jersey Monday and Tuesday across the company's network of online stores." During his coming out announcement, Nassib pledged to donate $100,000 to the Trevor Project. In turn, the NFL announced on Tuesday that it will match that donation. In a show of support, President Joe Biden wrote on Twitter: "To Carl Nassib and Kumi Yokoyama - two prominent, inspiring athletes who came out this week: I'm so proud of your courage. Because of you, countless kids around the world are seeing themselves in a new light today." In a statement on Monday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league "is proud of Carl for courageously sharing his truth." "Representation matters," Goodell said, ESPN reports. "We share his hope that someday soon statements like his will no longer be newsworthy as we march toward full equality for the LGBTQ+ community. We wish Carl the best of luck this coming season."

Actor-singer Joshua Bassett has confirmed he's queer after seemingly coming out in a previous interview last month. Speaking with GQ, the "High School: The Musical: The Series" star said he "wasn't joking" when, in a May interview with Clevver News, he commented that Harry Styles is "hot," adding that he is "very charming, too. Lots of things. I guess this is also my coming out video, I guess." The day after the interview, Bassett took to social media to open up about his sexuality: "My entire life people have told me my sexuality. People have shamed me for things they know nothing about." "I stood behind every word that I said," he told GQ of his post. "Even if there are consequences, I would much rather deal with consequences and live my truth than live in fear." When asked if he thinks young people still need to come out, Bassett said he is "anti—coming out in the sense that there's no need to." "There are plenty of letters in the alphabet... Why bother rushing to a conclusion?" he added. "Sometimes your letter changes, sometimes you try a different one, other times you realize you're not what you thought you were, or maybe you always knew."

If you've ever dismissed the idea of visiting South Africa on vacation because you assumed that safari was the main attraction or the continent was incapable of meeting western expectations of luxury and opulence, then pack your bags and get ready to have your mind blown. Sherwin Banda, president of African Travel, Inc., has earned his reputation for transforming tourists who have never considered vacationing in Africa into raving fans. A leading figure in the African travel industry, Banda, along with a team of LGBTQ professionals in both Africa and the U.S., has been creating unique African experiences for decades while delighting in the surprise of clients seeing Africa for the first time through a new lens. "Picture: The Four Seasons in The Bush. Picture: The Ritz Carlton, but on steroids," says Banda. After Johannesburg, Cape Town (the country's second-most populous city) is considered by many to be Africa's queer capital, having safeguarded sexual orientation as a human right in its Constitution in 1994 and legalizing marriage equality in 2006, years before full equality was granted to LGBTQ Americans. "When people think of inclusivity, the context is America, but that inclusivity, legislatively, was only recognized recently compared to what has been discovered in South Africa," says Banda. It's one reason he promotes travel to South Africa for LGBTQ tourists as a must-visit travel destination, not only for the beauty and one-of-a-kind experiences the city offers but for the freedom and safety that LGBTQ tourists experience.
