How do I make sure I use the right pronouns for someone? And what if I mess up? Language can change quickly. Here's a guide to talking gender in its beautiful complexity.

In rural Colorado, owners of the trans-friendly Tenacious Unicorn Ranch pack heat and built a fence in the face of harassment. Critics say they're overstating threats to solicit donations.

Support for the LGBTQ community matters but accountability matters, too.

"Chipotle has launched a Pride collection! Slay yaaas mama love is love, Chipotle! The only thing more extra than their support for the queer community is their guac, am I right, ladies? In the proud tradition of RuPaul Frackianna Charles, Chipotle staged its Pride promo as a free-market competition: “3 queens, 3 orders, but only 1 can be crowned Queen of Pride,” said its Instagram post. Drag superstars Trixie Mattel, Kim Chi, and Gottmik each designed a custom order and chose a charity of their choice for $1 of that order to go to (up to $15,000, because there’s always a stipulation). The queen with the most orders by June 16 will get an additional $10,000 donated by Chipotle."

The Sensitive Gay. You know who you are.

Your hero is your mom. Your favorite movie is Steel Magnolias. You scrapbook. You journal. You listen to goop podcasts. You live-tweet Big Little Lies.

You also like to read. Mostly thrillers from Reese Witherspoon’s book club, or the occasional memoir about a Mormon’s coming out story.

It me. I'm Collin. Shockingly, I hate talking about myself but here are the CliffsNotes. 32, Texan turned cruise ship character turned Texan turned Chicagoan turned Texan. Event designer and planner. Interior designer and stylist. Corporate badass. Spotify playlist-makin' fiend. Partner and double dog dad. Cursed with an aggressive gluten intolerance but also a passion for bread and no f*cks to give. Why a newsletter? It gives me a creative outlet with a deadline and my therapist says these things are important. Plus, I love to read, shop, share, and most importantly spend time on the internet. I don't sleep.
