  1. Missing the Gay Best Friend

    In film and on TV, he was a sign of cultural progress. Then he was a tired stereotype. Then he disappeared. So why do we want him back?

     By Mark Harris and RF. Alvarez

    To accompany this essay, the painter RF. Alvarez, who’s based in Austin, Texas, created two works exclusively for T, including “A Bit of Gossip” (2023). “My mind immediately went to a photograph I took of my husband giggling with his best friend,” the artist says. “I cast them in dramatic, colorful lighting and, of course, had to give them some martinis.”

  5. Is 2,000 Bags Too Many?
