Sapphic social media personality plans Queer, crafty summer camp on Whidbey Island
Summer camp holds a sacred place in the hearts and minds of many Queer people, especially in the Pacific Northwest. For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, it was the first experience with freedom, a chance to explore identities, and a week to slow down, enjoy nature, do some crafting, and make lifelong memories. Unfortunately, for many, the magic of summer camp ends with childhood. However, one community organizer and craft enthusiast is working to recreate the magic for adults across the West Coast.

An amalgamation of Seattle’s top public officials, LGBTQIA+ organizations, and community leaders came together on sunny and bright June 1 to celebrate the 14th annual raising of the Pride flag at City Hall. The tone of the event was somber and reflective, as well as passionate and defiant, as one by one, speakers rose to address the pressing struggles Queer and Trans people are currently facing both in the city and across the country. “As we are witnessing an unprecedented wave of backlash across the US tar

“Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest” and SAM confronted: A Seattle art critic reveals how Gay artists went hidden in plain sight
The Seattle Art Museum is a 93-year-old institution with a history as varied — and as complicated — as the artists whose works have graced its exhibition halls throughout the years. But hidden underneath the museum’s public façade lies a Queer history that remains unknown. After Lucía Yvette Moliné-Gonzalez’s op-ed in the SGN in March about the Gay artists that were featured in SAM’s “Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest” exhibit, the SGN contacted multiple parties, including Seattle art critic Matthew Ka

The Force isn’t with the kid-friendly Mandalorian and Grogu
While watching Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the first theatrical Star Wars adventure since 2019’s misbegotten The Rise of Skywalker, I tried to put myself back in my 1977 kiddie shoes. It was immediately clear to me that director and cowriter Jon Favreau intended his film — a feature-length sequel to the Emmy-winning Disney+ television show The Mandalorian — to be something children were going to enjoy far more than their parents. It skews very young, keeps the plotting simplistic, and fills the sc

Pressure: Andrew Scott anchors a powerful D-Day drama
D-Day was one of the most important military operations of World War II. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the Normandy landings in northern France, beginning the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. Known as Operation Overlord, the invasion brought together American, British, Canadian, and other Allied troops in a massive air, sea, and land assault across five beaches. It was not only a battle of soldiers and weapons. It was also a battle against time, tides, and weather. The success of D-

Mighty Real: A survey of Queer music from Stonewall to the year 2000
Fifty-seven years after Stonewall, and here we are: LGBTQ musicians still face scrutiny for their sexuality, because, says author and music writer Barry Walters, music isn’t created for Gay listeners. No problem: Queer artists and writers have often penned lyrics carefully in order to say what can’t be said, “coding” songs for Gay audiences that straight (and ignorant) listeners can dance to and enjoy with apparent obliviousness. Walters offers “just a few” examples: Lou Reed sang about Trans people in the

Martin Cloutier delivers a debut novel of wit and warmth
From the moment I opened Waiting for Something Else, I was hooked. Martin Cloutier’s debut novel is equally hilarious, heartfelt, and thought-provoking. It’s hard to believe this is his first book, as it reads like the work of a seasoned storyteller. The fact that it is already a finalist for the 2026 Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction is a testament to Cloutier’s talent and the novel’s excellence. The story follows James, a self-described bald, bewildered, and Buddhist restaurant manager trying to find

The battle over nudity at Denny Blaine Park goes to court
The fight over a historically LGBTQIA+, clothing-optional beach in Seattle will soon be entering the courtroom. On May 27, a trial over the rights of nude (and mostly Queer) beachgoers at Denny Blaine Park will begin. The lawsuit, filed by Denny Blaine Park for All, argues that public nudity at the park is a “public nuisance,” and that the court should grant a permanent injunction to completely ban nudity or close the park down entirely. King County Superior Court, after granting a motion by Denny Blaine Pa

SPD assaults Trans teenager on camera while arresting a prominent antifascist SquidTips
On May 1, Seattle police officers arrested motorcyclist Alexander James Randall, better known online as SquidTips, along with a Trans teenager who goes by J, while operating in a traffic safety capacity at the May Day march in downtown Seattle. The police claim the arrest was for reckless driving, which Randall adamantly denies, asserting that the SPD acted in an antagonistic manner toward him and his friend. Despite the charges later being dropped, the police confiscated his camera and continue to hold it
