It’s A Sin tore my heart from my chest, ripped it into shreds and cleaved my soul in two. And it taught me so much more about queer history and LGBTQ+ sex education than school ever did.
It’s A Sin follows a group of young people in the 1980s, coming of age, discovering their sexuality and falling in love – all against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis. People are calling it “necessary and urgent viewing” that left them “bereft, furious and heartbroken”. And they’re right – I am furious. Furious that millions of people were subjected to the horrors we see in It’s A Sin, and furious that we never got taught about it. Any of it. While It’s A Sin is a masterpiece, its story shouldn’t be a revelation. Because we should know it already – but school never gave us that.

Drag Race UK just did the unthinkable: it redeemed
Cats. This week’s ‘Rusical’ challenge saw the queens sing live while dancing through
Rats, an on-point parody which was 1000x more watchable than a film where James Corden being cast isn’t even the lowest of its lows.
But this, according to my editor, isn’t ‘Jared’s personal blog where he talks about 2019 films he hates’. This is now, in a completely unforeseeable turn of events, a joint Bimini and Veronica Green stan recap, where I will launch an official petition for an ‘odd couple’ BBC sitcom starring the two.
Sashay away: Darlington drag queen second to leave Ru Paul s Drag Race UK NORTH-EAST drag artist Cherry Valentine has become the second queen to leave RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. The 26-year-old from Darlington, County Durham, was eliminated from the competition after losing to Tayce in a lip sync battle to Memory by Elaine Paige. Thursday’s episode featured Sheridan Smith and Alan Carr on the judging panel alongside Michelle Visage and head judge RuPaul. Cherry, posting a photo of herself with mascara running down her face after being eliminated, said: You haven t seen anything yet. There’s so much to talk about. Watching that was tough. But for now, all i’ll say is that I love drag with every fibre of my being, and you haven’t seen anything yet. ♥️ pic.twitter.com/Omeoxj47vt Cherry Valentine (@TheCValentine) January 21, 2021
