Quiche, drag brunch and sit-ins: How food informs queer identity
Is quiche queer?
Until recently, I wouldn't have known quite how to answer that question.
Sure, I remember the 'Real Men Don't Eat Quiche' book, which became a bestseller in the 1980s by satirizing stereotypes about masculinity. And as a Texan who grew up on barbecue and later came out as gay and even later as vegetarian — I'm now a tofu-and-potatoes man — I understand how, to some people, food choices can seem inextricable from sexual identity.

BarkBox CEO Apologizes for 'Disrespectful' Message About Pride Merchandise
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The CEO of BarkBox apologized after a "disrespectful" internal message about the company's LGBTQ+ Pride Month campaign surfaced online. Why It Matters Companies like BarkBox, a monthly subscription service that provides dog products and services to pet owners, have for years voiced support for the LGBTQ+ community and featured products celebrating Pride Month in June. However, some have argued that businesses should stay neutral on issues like LGBTQ+ rights to avoid alienating more conservative consumers. There have been large protests against companies that have participated in Pride Month celebrations in recent years, including Bud Light and Target. The LGBTQ+ community and its allies view Pride Month as a critical celebration of the community's progress in securing victories, such as same-sex marriage and other legal protections. But it's also a call to action to continue advancing rights and tolerance, particularly amid recent spikes in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and hate crimes. GLAAD, a LGBTQ+ media advocacy group, reported there were 2.5 anti-LGBTQ+ incidents each day in 2024. What to Know BarkBox CEO Matt Meeker responded to the backlash the company faced over the internal message in a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning. The internal message, which was posted to Reddit earlier this week, stated that the company planned to pause paid ads for the Pride products and that the "current climate makes this promotion feel more like a political statement than a universally joyful moment for all dog people." "I apologize. A few days ago, an internal message from a BARK team member was released on social media. The message was disrespectful and hurtful to the LGBTQIA+ community, and as the CEO of BARK, I'm responsible for that," Meeker wrote. "I do not agree with the content of the message. It wasn't good, it doesn't reflect our values, and I'm deeply sorry that it happened." He said that the Pride collection is still available online and will be "placed prominently" on the homepage. Newsweek reached out to BarkBox for further comment via email. A maltipoo puppy wears rainbow sunglasses during Washington, D.C.'s Pride Walk and Rally on July 12, 2021. A maltipoo puppy wears rainbow sunglasses during Washington, D.C.'s Pride Walk and Rally on July 12, company faced backlash from some conservatives, such as Jenna Ellis, a former attorney for President Donald Trump. She posted on X last week that she decided to pause her BarkBox subscription, citing religious objections to the Pride-themed products. Ellis told Newsweek on Wednesday that in response to the statement, she planned to cancel her subscription and that the company should not "double down on political virtue signaling" to regain trust. BarkBox said its 2025 Pride merchandise, including products such as "Slay the Dragon Queen" and "Pride March of the Penguins," would be available only through optional add-ons, not as part of standard subscription boxes. The situation has sparked backlash from both conservatives, who want companies to stay neutral, and LGBTQ+ advocates, who view the company's stance as a retreat on its support for the community, as many companies appear to reduce their Pride campaigns this year. What People Are Saying Alexis Nikole Nelson, a forager, cook and social media influencer, on X: "My former employer paused all marketing on Pride toys and cancelled donating the proceeds to a great org because... *checks notes* ... a single bigot doesn't understand how BarkBox works? You literally have to CHOOSE and PAY MORE for the Pride toys. Happy Pride, gang." Jenna Ellis told Newsweek: "The CEO's apology is disappointing. Rather than listening to reasonable concerns from his own leadership about neutrality and broad customer respect, he seems more concerned with appeasing backlash from a small woke segment. If BarkBox truly valued inclusion, they should stay neutral and respect all customers—not just those aligned with the CEO's apparent politics." GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, in a statement in May: "Support for LGBTQ people and employees remains a business imperative that bonds companies to consumers and unites our country. Companies and leaders must listen to consumers who are demanding that brands prioritize values of freedom, inclusion and growth over rank politics. With LGBTQ, Black, and Hispanic consumers growing exponentially, companies that bow to opponents of inclusion will miss out on key growth segments." What Happens Next BarkBox's CEO said the company will continue to highlight the products on their website and increase donations to an organization supporting the LGBTQ+ community. The debate over LGBTQ+ Pride Month will likely continue over the coming weeks.

Gabrielle Union And Dwyane Wade Pen Heartwarming Birthday Tribute To Zaya For Her 18th Birthday
Source: Presley Ann / Getty Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade took to Instagram on June 2 with a heartwarming tribute in honor of their daughter Zaya Wade's birthday. The beautiful model and LGBTQ advocate turned 18 on May 29. The loving parents kicked off their sweet message by praising Zaya for her incredible 'transparency' and strength. 'They say parents are the ones to raise and show their children 'the way', but you've been the one to show us what true strength, vulnerability, and love really look like,' Union, 52, and Wade, 43, penned. 'At just 18, you've already shown the world what it means to be brave.' The duo added, 'Your courage lights the way for so many to follow, and we're right beside you every step of the way.' Union and Wade recently shared a joint-post highlighting moments from Zaya's 18th birthday celebration, which took place over the weekend in collaboration with H&M and MAC Cosmetics. The photos featured Zaya looking radiant in a stunning white gown adorned with shimmery tassels and a flowing train that added an extra touch of elegance. She carried the shimmering theme into her makeup, wearing eye-catching pearl accents woven into her eyeshadow. To complete the look, she paired the ensemble with beige heels and a matching bag. Additional snapshots captured her mingling with guests and clearly enjoying every moment of the festive occasion. Recapping the special night on her own Instagram page, Zaya told fans that the entire night was 'special.' She added, 'Thank you to my friends and family who celebrated with me. It's going to be an amazing year.' Time surely does fly by! In a March interview with Seventeen , Zaya shared that she's currently exploring college options as she prepares to transition from high school to university life. As a transgender teen, she expressed her desire to attend a school where she can fully embrace her identity and feel supported. However, she also voiced concern about the growing number of anti-trans bills being passed across the country, admitting that her safety is a significant factor in her decision-making process. 'It would be a little too idealistic to say I'm going to be safe anywhere I go. Even if I'm in a blue state or blue city or blue county, it's not to say that it will be free of Black and queer discrimination. But I'm obviously factoring in the safer choices,' said Zaya, who came out as transgender in 2020. 'I really want to put myself in spaces where I know I can find my community and my community can find me, and we can work together to keep the queer community across the country strong.' Like any teen, love and romance appear to be on the mind of the Gen-Z beauty, too. The Miu Miu model revealed that she was on the market and currently dating, although 'dating' is a term that is a bit 'aggressive' for Zaya. She'd much rather have a casual 'situationship' at this stage of her life. 'In Gen Z, situationships are king. In no way are we opposed to a relationship, but sometimes there's comfort in not being so locked in. At the end of [the] day, I have to focus on me,' she confessed. Congrats to Zaya Wade.
