The Heated Rivalry Trailer Is Every Bit As Steamy As You Hoped

Well, well, well — it looks like winter’s about to come early, because the trailer for Heated Rivalry just dropped, and let’s just say fans are already reaching for ice packs and fans.

The new Crave series, premiering this November, is based on Rachel Reid’s beloved gay hockey novel and follows two professional players, Shane Hollander (played by Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (played by Connor Storrie), as they struggle to balance ambition, rivalry, and the kind of magnetic tension that can only end in one thing — a very sweaty secret romance.

In other words, it’s Check, Please! meets Red, White & Royal Blue but with more slapshots, sass, and shirtless locker-room moments than your queer heart can handle.

The trailer teases everything fans were hoping for — longing glances across the rink, whispered confessions in the dark, and one scene so charged it could fog up the Zamboni glass.

Crave has been feeding the frenzy for weeks, dropping teasing stills of a shirtless Connor Storrie in the locker room, leaving fans collectively clutching their pearls and tweeting “is it hot in here, or is it just hockey?”

And oh, the cast — from François Arnaud to Sophie Nélisse to Christina Chang — ensures this steamy sports drama isn’t just about abs and ambition, but also about emotional stakes, identity, and the aching thrill of forbidden love.

The story picks up when two rising NHL stars’ fierce rivalry evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery, testing their limits both on and off the ice.

Meanwhile, if you’re craving more queer heat in unexpected places, remember when Miles Heizer turned heads in Boots, Netflix’s gay military drama that made “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” feel anything but quiet — catch up on that story here before you dive into another kind of battle zone.

Fans of the books will be happy to know Heated Rivalry stays true to the novel’s sizzling tone and heartfelt message — that love, even when buried under ice, can’t stay frozen forever.

The series is the second installment in Reid’s *Game Changer* series, following different couples in the same hockey universe, with The Long Game also centered on Shane and Ilya’s evolving relationship.

Between Heated Rivalry and the upcoming Red, White & Royal Blue sequel, it’s officially a golden age for queer romance on screen — and honestly, we’re living for it.

As the trailer racks up views faster than a puck in overtime, one thing’s clear: this isn’t just a show, it’s a full-blown gay sports fantasy, and we’re all invited to the penalty box.

And speaking of steamy screen moments, if you loved seeing passion bloom under pressure, wait till you revisit the slow-burn tension of Alexander Lincoln’s gay film — you’ll want to relive that sensational magic too. 😉

From Mormon Missionary to Triple Dad: Utah Couple’s Love Journey

From Mormon Missionary to Triple Dad: Utah Couple’s Love Journey

Sometimes the most powerful sermons aren’t delivered from pulpits but from playrooms, and Utah dads Sean and Jake are preaching love, chaos, and resilience through life with their triplets Winston, Wren, and Willow.

Their latest Instagram post struck a chord as one of the dads reflected on his past as a Mormon missionary, neatly dressed with scripture in hand but secretly praying if he could ever be his true self and still be loved.

Fast forward, and that whispered prayer has been answered loudly, with three giggling toddlers, a husband by his side, and a family built on authenticity, courage, and unconditional joy.

Known online as @daddiestothree, the couple first captured attention with their surrogacy journey, openly sharing the science and heartache behind creating their family, including the loss of their first pregnancy and the eventual miracle of triplets carried by their surrogate Heather.

With 1.7 million followers on TikTok and tens of thousands more on Instagram, their candid mix of diaper duty, heartfelt Q&As, and clapbacks to ignorant comments—like “Which one of you is the mom?”—has turned them into role models for queer families everywhere.

Meanwhile, stories like theirs echo a broader wave of queer family pride, reminding us that there’s no single script for love and parenting, just like when Clay and Chris Rice-Thomson shared their own encore of family adventures on stage and off. Read their story here for another chapter in LGBTQ+ family joy.

In their Instagram reflection, Sean described his life not as two opposites—missionary to gay dad—but as connected chapters, one teaching him discipline and determination, the other teaching him joy, vulnerability, and how to love without shame.

His message landed like a hug to every LGBTQ+ person who’s ever wondered if they could have family, fulfillment, and happiness: “The answer is yes,” he wrote, “maybe not in the way you were taught, but in the way your soul has always known.”

Now, with three toddlers keeping them busy, Sean and Jake’s mission isn’t about saving others but about showing that love—messy, loud, triple-sized love—can rewrite the script we’re given into one that finally feels like home.

And if this story makes you smile, you’ll love seeing how PJ and Thomas celebrated their own milestone as foster dads, another reminder that family pride comes in many forms. Take a look here and keep the family feels going. 😉

Stud Country Rides Again, Gay Cowboys Have Always Been Here

Stud Country Rides Again, Gay Cowboys Have Always Been Here

If you thought country was only for straight cowboys tipping dusty hats, think again, sugar, because queer line-dancing culture is bucking back into town with a rhinestone twinkle in its eye.

At the center of this revival is Sean Monaghan and his project Stud Country, a roving line-dancing event where LGBTQ+ folks can two-step without worrying about bumping into judgmental stares—or worse, red hats.

Western imagery has always carried a certain homoerotic charge, from Hollywood classics like Red River with Montgomery Clift smoldering onscreen to modern queer cowboy epics like Brokeback Mountain and The Power of the Dog.

But in today’s pop landscape, it’s Lil Nas X breaking records with “Old Town Road,” Orville Peck crooning behind his fringe mask, and Beyoncé dropping Cowboy Carter that’s making Western culture pop again with a queer twist.

Meanwhile, our friends in queer nightlife never really let the cowboy boots gather dust—Western bars like Oil Can Harry’s were once safe havens, and line-dancing has long been a gay pastime from Los Angeles to Texas.

Monaghan calls his events “Church,” because for many, dancing in boots with your chosen family feels more spiritual than Sunday service ever did.

And if you’re nodding along thinking about another cowboy icon who’s been spilling tea and singing raunchy duets, you’re right on track—Orville Peck gave us just that in a recent sit-down. Read about his cheeky side here.

What’s fabulous is how Stud Country reminds us that country music and queer identity aren’t contradictions—they’re both about storytelling, survival, and a little bit of swagger.

And darling, let’s be clear: gay cowboys aren’t a new invention, they’ve been part of the rodeo all along, quietly boot-scooting while straight culture claimed the spotlight.

Now they’re dancing front and center, Stetsons high, making sure nobody forgets whose hips make the two-step sizzle.

If you still need convincing that this revival is more than a trend, let another ride through our archives sway you—because Orville Peck and Willie Nelson once teamed up to remind us that cowboys and Pride go hand in hand. Take a look at that joyful country moment. 😉

Miles Heizer Tackles “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Drama in Netflix’s Boots

Miles Heizer Tackles “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Drama in Netflix’s Boots

Hold onto your dog tags because Miles Heizer is about to take us on a march through one of the most turbulent chapters in queer history with Netflix’s upcoming series Boots.

The new one-hour dramedy follows Cameron Cope, a closeted teen who enlists in the Marines during the 1990s, when serving openly wasn’t just frowned upon—it was flat-out illegal.

“My life needs a change, sir. I want to be somebody else,” Cameron whispers in the show’s first trailer, only to be told that boot camp is the machine that turns boys into men.

What follows is a blend of grit, humor, and aching truth as Cameron, played by Heizer, navigates training while guarding the secret that could end his career before it even begins.

Based on Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine, Boots brings a raw, sometimes biting, but deeply human look at the cost of hiding who you are when the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Adding extra firepower to the cast, Vera Farmiga steps in as Cameron’s narcissistic mother, while Max Parker plays the no-nonsense Sgt. Sullivan, alongside a roster of rising names like Liam Oh, Cedrick Cooper, and Ana Ayora.

Meanwhile, if taboo intimacy under pressure sounds familiar, it may remind you of a much more playful short film that explored desire and secrecy in a very different kind of “training ground.” That cheeky queer short film about bathroom hookups was equally raw about longing, albeit with a whole lot more steam than camo.

What makes Boots stand out is how it refuses to sanitize the contradictions of its era—where the U.S. military called for bravery but demanded silence from those brave enough to love differently.

Heizer, who first captured hearts in 13 Reasons Why and Love, Victor, seems primed for this tougher, meatier role that will let him flex his dramatic chops beyond teen angst into adult stakes.

It’s a bold career move that not only honors a memoirist’s lived reality but also reminds a new generation how recently “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” dominated American policy.

With Netflix setting the premiere for October 9, expect social media timelines to light up as audiences debate, swoon, and probably shed a tear or two.

And if you’re craving even more screen heat, just wait until you catch Russell Tovey and Tom Blyth raising the temperature in their cop-and-lover thriller. That trailer is already leaving fans hot under the collar, so consider it your next double-feature after Boots. 😉

Gay Gymnast Sam Phillips Honored with VIP Moment at U.S. Open

Gay Gymnast Sam Phillips Honored with VIP Moment at U.S. Open

Ready for a summer glow-up story that blends athleticism, activism, and a side of VIP glam? Meet Sam Phillips, the openly queer gymnast who just wrapped his season with a seriously dazzling moment.

Sam kicked off his U.S. Open experience as part of a Pride in Sports panel alongside legends like Carl Nassib and Candace Parker, where he praised inclusion, saying, “sports are for everyone and should be everyone.”

And because he’s living his best life, he didn’t just stop there—after the panel, our star in a breezy light-blue polo got the royal treatment, stepping onto the iconic U.S. Open court to perform the opening coin toss, eyes shining, waving to the crowd, and crowing, “Had the best day today! So much joy and excitement!”

Now, talking real through the air, let’s zoom out and look at the full tapestry of Sam’s glow-up journey. He began as one of the most visible out gymnasts in the NCAA, first making his mark at Nebraska—shining through adversity and earning All-America status while also serving as SAAC President and founding advocacy groups on campus.

Since transferring to Illinois, Sam continued to soar—in more ways than one. He’s racked up accolades like Big Ten championships, All-American honors, Academic Scholar awards, and even a Nissen-Emery Award nomination—all while pursuing a master’s in management.

Meanwhile, speaking of out athletes who make stadiums swoon, Trey Cunningham recently reminded everyone that winning and queer joy look fabulous together, and his kiss-blowing victory is pure mood, darling, so take a victory lap with this gem here: B-Gay’s Trey Cunningham story.
Back to our gymnast du jour, Phillips knows visibility is a relay, and he’s happily grabbing the baton from tennis icons and pro pioneers who pushed open these gates long before the coin landed.
There’s still room to grow, especially when it comes to out men competing on tennis’s biggest stage, but moments like this one tell young athletes that the arena belongs to them too.
And while he’ll be back on the apparatus soon enough, do not be shocked when this charming showman keeps popping up at the glamorous crossroads where sports and pop culture flirt.
If you’re in the mood for another candid locker-room-to-spotlight journey, rugby trailblazer Keegan Hirst lays it all bare about shame, sex, and self-love in a read that pairs beautifully with a post-match spritz: B-Gay’s Keegan Hirst profile. 😉
