Summary
Heated Rivalry, the sizzling new TV show based on Rachel Reid’s bestselling series about the secret gay romances of rival star hockey players, is scoring big with audiences. Like Brokeback Mountain, it’s got everyone thinking about how the puck slides into the net without lube.
The series has also sent the four lead actors’ careers skating into the spotlight, leaving fans drooling over every off-ice action in their real-life love lives. Looks like the ice isn’t the only thing getting slippery.
Today we take a look at the cultural impact of all the new queer TV shows streaming right now, including: Pluribus, Heated Rivalry, Stranger Things, Starfleet Academy, and, of course, RuPaul’s Drag Race.
Plus--
• Hands Across America is about to celebrate its 40 year anniversary in May. Can we unite the country again to fight hunger and poverty?
• How the Love Boat sank after they let go of the original Julie.
• How to make a tuna melt sandwich.
• Remembering Chicago LGBTQ legend Rick Garcia, who died this month, he was 69.
