SHOW. ME. THE RECEIPTS.

Far-right conservative Jair Bolsonaro has been president of Brazil — home to a truly humongous queer population — since January 2019 and is up for re-election this October. But what sort of LGBTQ+ legacy is he leaving behind or — depending on the outcome — continuing?

“I’m the world’s only out LGBTQ Qatari”

Dr Nas Mohamed, the world’s only publicly LGBTQ Qatari, talks growing up in the host country of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where homosexuality is punishable by the death penalty under Sharia law

Trixie Mattel

Is there anything Trixie Mattel can’t do? As well as being crowned the winner of All Stars season 3, she’s got a popular podcast and YouTube series with her best friend, Katya Zamolodchikova, a top-selling book, sold-out tours and a new motel named after her. “We kind of made a renovation comedy,” says Trixie of the Trixie Motel and TV show of the same name. “The before-and-afters on the screen are jaw-dropping. No rhinestone was left unturned at the Trixie Motel, that’s for sure.”

Trixie ranks the drag queens of All Stars 7

The big reveal

Is it ever OK to out somebody? Four voices from the LGBTQ+ community offer their take

Alfa Romeo Tonale

That a historic sports car brand the like of Alfa Romeo — favoured by Enzo Ferrari back in the day — would lean into market trends and build Sports Utility Vehicles was never in doubt. That they are as pretty as they are is the win

THE NEXT BIG HITTER

One of Mexico’s most prominent — and openly gay — actors, Polo Morín had a turbulent time at the hands of a blackmailer who leaked his nude photos, before being outed when his email was hacked and images of him with his then partner were posted to his Facebook account. But with the past behind him and a prominent new role in the big-screen adaptation of the novel Red, White & Royal Blue, Morín is now gearing up for global stardom

HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE

Attitude gives the legendary Debbie Harry a buzz to chat Blondie, biopics, bleach (“use the minimum amount of time they suggest!”) and why the photo opposite is her all-time favourite

RETURN TO SECTION 28 IS LGBTQ-INCLUSIVE EDUCATION UNDER THREAT?

It’s the question that reveals the discomfort around sexuality and gender in even the most otherwise committed of allies: should schoolkids be taught it’s OK to be queer? As Florida joins Russia in making this illegal, we get schooled on the situation in English classrooms

Kodo’s calling

With a side gig as a respected makeup artist, Kodo Nishimura is a monk like no other. One of Japan’s champions for LGBTQ+ rights, here he talks about his memoir and spiritual guide, The Monk Wears Heels, being queer in Japan and his country’s slow progress towards equality

PROFILE

Lesley Joseph

Move over Baga Chipz: our Les has served brass, sass and mutton-dressed-as-lamb class as Birds of a Feather’s Dorian since 1989. (Can you believe we only just got the ‘Dorian Grey’ nod?) Now she’s starring as Mother Superior in Sister Act. Is the ravenhaired bombshell more fabulous than ever at 76? Obviously, but we thought we’d check with our highly scientific quiz…
