Pride 2025: A Q+ Celebration!
June 2
Mid-Century Modern
We didn’t know how much we needed a queer Golden Girls reboot until Mid-Century Modern came along and gave us the gay Palm Springs comedy of our dreams. Starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and Nathan Lee Graham, the show follows three longtime gay friends—Bunny, Jerry, and Arthur—who move in together after the sudden death of a beloved friend. Their group is rounded out by Bunny’s sharp-tongued mother Sybil (played fabulously by the late Linda Lavin), and together they form a beautifully chaotic found family navigating life, love, and legacy under the desert sun.
Mid-Century Modern is as witty as it is warm, serving up hilarious one-liners, tender moments, and a refreshing perspective on aging in the queer community. It’s rare to see LGBTQ+ stories centered on older characters, and this show does it with flair, heart, and style. Whether they’re dealing with relationship drama, revisiting the past, or simply figuring out how to live together without killing each other, this group makes us laugh and cry in equal measure. Trust us, once you check in, you won’t want to check out.
Where to watch? Mid-Century Modern is streaming on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ in the rest of the world.
Homebody by Theo Parish
Theo Parish’s Homebody is the kind of book that wraps around your heart and doesn’t let go. This stunning graphic memoir explores their journey as a nonbinary person navigating gender, body dysphoria, and the complicated experience of coming into one’s identity in a world that often expects binary answers. With soft, expressive illustrations and honest, deeply personal writing, Parish walks us through moments of doubt, discovery, pain, and joy—creating a story that feels both intimate and universal.
What makes Homebody so special is the way it speaks directly to queer readers while also opening a door for allies to better understand the nuances of gender identity. Parish doesn’t just tell us what it’s like to be nonbinary—they show us, page by page, with vulnerability and grace. Whether you’re figuring out your own identity or just want to feel seen, Homebody is a powerful reminder that we’re all worthy of taking up space—and that sometimes, the hardest place to feel at home is inside your own skin. But it’s also a reminder that finding that peace is possible.
Where to buy? Homebody is available to purchase at all reputable booksellers.
Bonus Track
If you were a closeted queer teen with a head full of song lyrics and a heart full of feelings, Bonus Track will hit you right in the gut, in the best way. Set in 2006 West Yorkshire, this sweet, emotionally intelligent coming-of-age dramedy follows George Bobbin (Joe Anders), a socially awkward 16-year-old who dreams of pop stardom, despite struggling in school and feeling misunderstood by just about everyone. Enter Max (Samuel Paul Small): effortlessly cool, mysterious, and the son of a famous music duo. When Max transfers to George’s school and takes an unexpected interest in him—and his music—sparks fly, and so does George’s imagination.
What follows is a beautiful slow-burn friendship-to-something-more that gives us a new queer classic in the making. With heartfelt original songs, a killer nostalgic vibe, and characters that feel deeply authentic, Bonus Track isn’t just about first love, it’s about finally feeling seen, heard, and celebrated. It’s tender, funny, and a little bit dreamy, and we’re already adding the soundtrack to our Pride playlist. This one’s for all the queer kids who kept journals full of lyrics and daydreams.
Where to watch? Bonus Track is available to stream on Sky Cinema (UK only), Max, and Apple TV depending on the region.
