Hip-Hop Is Finally Embracing Queer Representation
The genre has become more inclusive of LGBTQ+ artists and the community as a whole.
Earlier this year, rapper Tyler, The Creator appeared on the premiere of HBO’s Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. Carmichael, who’s openly gay, spends the entire episode trying to ask Tyler—his friend-turned-crush—to the Emmys, and Tyler responds in his usual unserious way.

Grace Duah hopes you'll be seeing more of her after 'Gossip Girl'
The reboot of “Gossip Girl” is coming to an end after two seasons, but one of the stars of the HBO Max series is just getting started.
Grace Duah, 25, made her television debut on “Gossip Girl,” playing the rebellious and carefree teenager Shan Barnes. Like the other teen characters on the show, Shan makes some poor choices, like leaving a friend behind at a rave.

Has the Rap Industry Reached its Come to Queerness Moment With Male Rappers?
With the rise of Black feminine gay rappers, male queerness in hip-hop has become less taboo than it’s been before.
Last May, Joe Budden and Isaiah Rashad sat down and had an open conversation centered around the topics of mental health and sexuality in hip-hop.
The conversation, which was sparked by a leaked sextape that allegedly outed Rashad as being sexually active with men, found the TDE rapper revealing that he identifies as sexually fluid, and explaining nuanced topics around queerness

Food Is Ghetto Gastro’s Weapon of Choice
In this week's FRONTPAGE, we sit down with Bronx culinary collective Ghetto Gastro to discuss their new book, food activism, and what's next for the trio.
I’ve never seen a group quite like Ghetto Gastro in the food industry, and I grew up obsessively watching the Food Network, aspiring to be a chef instead of a writer. Since 2012, Jon Gray, Lester Walker, and Pierre Serrao have been building a culinary empire. The Bronx collective are unapologetically Black, and wherever they go in the world,
