I’m excited to finally sit down with Raymond Padilla for a fun and honest chat. Ray shared his journey from struggling actor to thriving comedian and Internet personality, including how moving to New York during the pandemic helped him find a sense of belonging in the vibrant queer community there—something he felt was missing in L.A. We talked about his time at SoulCycle, the wild culture of trendy gyms, and how he found his comedic voice opening for Heather McMahan. Ray also reflected on how being a visible queer person is inherently political, the strides made in LGBTQ+ representation, and the challenges of dealing with online trolls.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Shaun Peterson, the director of Lover of Men, as he pulls back the curtain on Abraham Lincoln’s intimate life. From Lincoln’s rumored romantic relationships with men to exploring how fluid sexuality was back in the 19th century—a time when terms like “homosexual” and “heterosexual” didn’t exist—the film also tackles the pressing issue of queer erasure throughout history. Shaun talks about his experience creating the documentary and the crazy discoveries from Lincoln's handwritten letters.
