Pittsburgh Pride
Pittsburgh, if not quite the gay mecca portrayed on the U.S. version of Queer as Folk, is still a fine city with plenty of LGBT culture -- never more so than this weekend, when Pittsburgh Pride caps a week-long celebration with a concert by Nick Jonas, who volunteered to step in for Iggy Azalea amid an outcry over her homophobic statements. Jonas, a straight man who appreciates his gay fans, performs Saturday; the Pride March is scheduled for Sunday, and there are more events throughout the weekend. Get all the info here.
Alaska Thunderfuck, "Hieeee"
The Drag Race season 5 favorite returns with more of her signature dry wit and raunchy humor, using one word in the song title that's now a mainstay in gay slang. So where did Alaska get her "Hieeee" signature greeting? Back in 2013, Willam Belli asked that same question, and Alaska simply replied, "I got it from Isis Mirage and Coco Ferocha. And they got it from Mystique Summers Madison. And she got it from Ongina." "Hieeee" appears on Alaska's upcoming album, Anus, available June 23. Preorder it now on iTunes. Check out the video below.
