         With his lanky,
            buffed-out bod, he wowed Heather Matarazzo in Welcome
                to the Dollhouse; then we found him in the bedroom
            doing the dirty       with Josh Jackson in Cruel
            Intentions. Now, after having his looks       fail him
            with the women of The L Word, Eric Mabius is back to
            his       bed-hopping ways as Ugly Betty's
            resident insatiable himbo.

        Forty-five years after the first cases of HIV were reported in the United States, we possess something unimaginable to the generation that first confronted this epidemic: the science to prevent HIV, treat it effectively, and allow people living with HIV to lead long, healthy lives. Yet one of the greatest barriers to ending the epidemic has never been the virus itself. Keep Reading →

        When it comes to being the manliest of men, nothing gets Pete “Pipes” Hegseth juiced up and roid-raged more than plenty of pumpers for his “Popeye” pipes. For “Pipes,” nothing says “lightweight, baby!” like low-T gym bros clocking in below 264 to 300 ng/d. Yeah, man. Pipes has a gym crush on yoked dudes with big guns. For real.

        On July 17, 2025, the Trump administration abruptly terminated the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program. Up until that point, LGBTQ+ young people under the age of 25 had the option of contacting the 988 Lifeline — our country's federal suicide prevention hotline — and "pressing three," "texting PRIDE," or connecting via online chat to a counselor who was specially trained in supporting LGBTQ+ youth through crisis.
