In honor of June being Gay Pride Month, we’re celebrating not just our favorite gay and lesbian couples since the dawn of time, but also their love for each other even when homosexuality was deemed worthy of incarceration. In their own ways — some more than others — all of these couples helped propel the gay-rights movement […]
Buzzfeed has unleashed a monster upon us. Guys kissing guys for the first time, guys seeing each other naked for the first time, guys trying drag for the first time — all of this seemed fine at the time. It was a harmless handful of videos. But it spawned its whole own genre, with the […]
