Synopsis: ‘Unicornland is an 8-episode webseries about Annie, who explores her sexuality post-divorce by dating couples. Over drinks, at dinner, and in bed. Each episode features a date with a new couple, from Williamsburg hipsters, to Wall Street power duos, to Bushwick burners, as Annie becomes not just sexually active, but activated.
‘Unicornland was created/produced by Lucy Gillespie, directed by Nick Leavens, and shot by a 70% female cast and crew. Unicornland celebrates the ethnic and social diversity of New York City, with a cast that’s 60% non-white, including trans, genderqueer and disabled actors.
‘Unicornland contains themes of polyamory and open relationships, and was made with the full support of the New York sex positive community. In the final episode, Annie attends her first inclusive sex party at the Hacienda Villa, a renowned epicenter of New York scene.’

Last year instead of footage from Thor 3: Ragnarok, the audience at Comic Con was treated to a skit which showed what Thor was up to during Civil War. It involved Thor having moved in with a human roommate Daryl.
Long before the word ‘frenemies’ had been coined, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were exactly that. Never afraid to share a bitchy comment about the other, or to jockey to either put themselves above the other or to push their fellow movie star down – their rivalry became legend.

Back in 1967 queer poet and artist James Broughton created The Bed, which has since been billed as ‘the first non-pornographic US film with full nudity’. It’s since become a bit of an underground, midnight movie favourite, but outside certain circles it’s been difficult to see. However, 
It turns out that while most gay-themed entertainment seems to revolve around twinks and muscle, it turns out there are plenty of people out there who want something a bit beefier and hairier. Although most web series don’t make it past Season 1, Where The Bears Are is gearing up for Season 6 – having already scored more than 23 million views for its first five seasons – and have launched a 
Harvey Fierstein’s Torch Song Trilogy is undoubtedly a classic piece of gay theatre. The three-part play, which debuted in 1982, won the writer/star a pair of Tony Awards, got adapted into a movie in 1988 and has been revived numerous times. Now it’s coming back, with the announcement that Michael Urie will play the central role in a slightly altered version of the piece.
While there has been a lot of controversy about casting cisgender actors in transgender roles, there’s generally less talk about whether straight actors should play gay roles.
