7 Things That Are Everything This Week

The Fosters

Fans of lesbian couple Stef and Lena and their diverse family have been anxiously awaiting the second half of season 4, as the first half ended with son Jesus knocked out in a fight and daughter Callie trapped in a car with a suspected murderer. Meanwhile daughter Mariana has been abusing her meds and son Brandon has been rejected by the Juilliard School because of SAT cheating. Tune in Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern/7 Central on Freeform to see how these crises come out, and if you're behind on the series, you can binge-watch the first half of the season now at Freeform,go.com. The show, by the way, does more than simply represent a nontraditional family in a time when the nation seems to be going backward. Later in the season, executive producer Bradley Bredeweg told TV Guide, "Stef makes a big and beautiful speech about the love between her and Lena -- and the great love they feel for their family. ... In a tearful speech to Lena, Stef promises that no one, no law, no political movement will ever tear their love for each other or their family apart."

Paris 05:59: Theo & Hugo

Theo & Hugo has gained a kind of infamy in cinephile circles for its opening sequence, which is an artful 20-minute gay orgy in a bathhouse. Naturally, it won the audience award at the Teddy Awards in Berlin -- but not for just sex. Directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau, the French film, which shows the course of 93 minutes of real time, is a riveting account of two serodiscordant strangers who are brought together by sex and then go on a journey together due to a scare of possible HIV transmission. The following visits to a hospital, an apartment, and a kebab shop engender thought-provoking conversations on gay life, sex, and relationships in the milieu of northeastern Paris. See it in select theaters this weekend, and watch the trailer below.

Screen Actors Guild Awards

The Screen Actors Guild Awards is perhaps the world's most glamorous assemblage of a labor union.

And since its voters are the members of SAG-AFTRA, the ceremony is considered a key bellwether of Oscar winners. This year's ceremony is of particular importance to LGBT viewers. In addition to numerous nominations for Moonlight -- a must-see film that centers on a black gay life -- Lily Tomlin will be receiving a lifetime achievement award. Don't miss it Sunday on TNT or TBS at 8 p.m. Eastern.
