Happy birthday to American actor Nick Robinson 🥳 Known for his portrayal of Simon Spier in the film 'Love, Simon', Robinson has spoken about his decision to play a gay role as a straight actor. Speaking with GQ Magazine about the film, he said "Initially, I thought that maybe making this movie was not my place." He continued to say "Representation is a powerful thing, and I can understand people wanting to be represented on screen by people that they feel represent them in real life." However, he said that the film's director, Greg Berlanti, was "adamant" that he was right for the role. 📷 Getty 📷 20th Century Studios

Découvert ce soir : No Night Is Too Long, un téléfilm UK méconnu qui n'est autre qu'un des très rares thrillers gay, empruntant à la fois à Hitchcock qu'à Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction, surtout). Meurtre, twists, musique dramatique... mauvais par moments mais plaisant finalement

John Rechy (b. 10 March 1931) is a pioneering novelist and essayist renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to gay and Chicano literature. He is most famous for his 1963 debut novel, City of Night, which became an international bestseller and a landmark work for its unflinching portrayal of the gay underground and street hustler culture in America. He is also considered a founding author of Mexican-American literature. His novel The Miraculous Day of Amalia Gomez (1991) is a staple in Chicano studies across the country. Rechy has published over 17 books -- in addition to City of Night and Amalia Gomez, his other notable works include Numbers (1967), The Sexual Outlaw (1977), and After the Blue Hour (2017), which won the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction. He has also received numerous additional honors, including (in 1997) the PEN-USA-West’s Lifetime Achievement Award (the first novelist to receive this honor); in 2016, the first annual Los Angeles Review of Books/UCR Creative Writing Lifetime Achievement Award; in 2018, the Robert Kirsch Award (recognized for his lifetime achievement in the Mexican-American and LGBTQ literary communities), and in 2020, The Texas Institute of Letters Lon Tinkle Lifetime Achievement Award. Even after attaining literary fame, Rechy continued to work as a prostitute into his forties, balancing a life of "hustling at night" while teaching creative writing at UCLA during the day. His work has frequently explored the lives of sexual and social outsiders and helped shape the consciousness of several generations of gay men. And for that, today we wish a happy, well-deserved 95th birthday to John Rechy.
