From getting birth control to updating your passport.

"I know what the truth is.”

“As a trans person, the most important thing we can do now is survive."

Don't be fooled by the manosphere.

Queer and trans kids are distressed about the potential outcome.

Need to relax? Yeah, us too.

The problematic pursuit of thinness is coming out of the shadows on social media.

This logical fallacy can, at worst, offer a slippery slope into conspiracy.

There's no such thing as a "designer vagina."

Maybe not just for the healthcare, but Ari Ramsey says it's now her "new fight for action."

The post seemingly shading MyKayla Skinner has a lot of background.

“You guys are not fair to me and I hope one day the game becomes fair, but it's not.”

From the glasses to what appeared to be a brief nap before earning an Olympic medal, everyone loves him.

It would not be Pride without drag queens. They are not only a staple of Pride parades and festivals across the country, but the celebration quite literally would not exist without drag performers like Marsha P. Johnson, who played a crucial role in the Stonewall uprising that led to more LGBTQ rights and Pride month as we know it.

In her video, Jordan Chiles talks about how she tends to her mental heal…

In this op-ed, Teen Vogue Features Director Brittney McNamara reminds us why we shouldn’t look to Kim Kardashian or other celebrities to set the bar on what’s beautiful after the Met Gala 2024. When Kim Kardashian hit the 2022 Met Gala carpet in Marilyn Monroe’s “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress, people had A LOT of feelings.

Believers is a series running throughout April, examining different facets of faith and religion among young people. To be queer and to be Muslim is, for Sophia Uppal, “something that…from the outside, you wouldn’t think would make sense.” In some Muslim countries, gay people are persecuted or marginalized, and in some Muslim communities, LGBTQ people may not be accepted.
