This has been the year of Heated Rivalry.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gay hockey drama rocketed from Canadian obscurity to become an international sensation. It is now the most-watched non-animated show on HBO Max since the streamer launched in 2020, and its two leads, Connor Storie and Hudson Williams, are inescapable presences on every kind of media platform and red carpet.<\/p>\n

Heated Rivalry<\/em> marked a milestone for queer representation, inspiring NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to binge the series, as well as current players to come out publicly. It got straight men watching a gay hockey soap opera and provided people with fresh opportunities for rekindling family relationships.\u00a0And the Heated Rivalry<\/em> moment is a product of decades of social and scientific progress\u2014for instance, when it comes to medical breakthroughs around HIV and AIDS. \u201cWe\u2019re living in the glow of access to HIV prevention and treatments, which have allowed a new generation not only to survive, but to speak about sex and culture and history in a way that we weren\u2019t able to before,\u201d writer and artist Leo Herrera told me.<\/p>\n

It would thus be easy to judge this moment uncritically, as another sign that society largely recognizes LGBTQIA+ people and mainstream culture frequently celebrates queer life. The hottest show in America is a mega-steamy gay romance\u2014who would have thought that sentence would ever be written?\u00a0<\/p>\n

But turn off the television and a markedly different reality intrudes\u2014one in which queer people find their very existence under threat in ways not seen for generations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be queer right now is to experience this dissonance over and over again.<\/p>\n

These contradictions are evident in how Heated Rivalry<\/em> is lauded while GLAAD elsewhere in television; how cruising apps Grindr and Sniffies are widely known but access to LGBTQ+ healthcare is being stripped and the US Supreme Court upholds the legality of conversion therapy; how Pride events are now large parties with growing attendance by straight people while corporate sponsors took a step back in recent years; how sports restrictions against trans athletes are spreading despite GLAAD finding \u201czero complaints\u201d about trans participation for more than a decade; how drag brunches and queer book readings are enjoyed as bomb threats or protests gather outside; how there is high support for same-sex marriage amid concerns of the Obergefell <\/em>decision being revisited in the Supreme Court; and how transgender visibility has increased but the lives of trans people are lethally at risk.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve lived through discordant periods like this in the past. Before Heated Rivalry<\/em>, there was Tom Hanks in Philadelphia<\/em> taking place through the AIDS crisis, and Will and Grace<\/em> airing at the same time as battles over the decriminalization of sodomy and same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n

But even so, the gap between what we watch and what queer people experience in real life feels particularly acute right now. <\/p>\n

The Human Rights Campaign in 2023 issued a \u201cstate of emergency for LGBTQ+ people\u201d in the US for the first time in its history. The number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills introduced across state legislatures\u2014on bathroom use, book bans, healthcare access, and more\u2014has broken records year on year since 2023, according to data by the American Civil Liberties Union. 2025 marked six consecutive years of broken records in the amount of total anti-trans bills introduced in the US, according to the Trans Legislation Tracker, with more than 740 anti-trans bills being considered just three months into 2026. In March, Kansas revoked the driver\u2019s licenses of 1,700 transgender people in the state.<\/p>\n

The juxtaposition between the mainstream acknowledgement of the LGBTQIA+ community and the fight for queer protections can be exemplified in a theoretical pendulum, Herrera argued.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to get used to the pendulum of your acceptance and the threats of patriarchy or government crackdowns on homosexuality, queerness or transgender rights,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s always been with us, always.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen hot men are on screen, people are gonna respond,\u201d transgender writer and consultant Maybe Burke told me. \u201cIt\u2019s why Grindr crashes at [Republican National Committee] events, you know? It\u2019s why we see people looking for trans women on dating apps, and also voting against our rights constantly. There\u2019s this dichotomy of us being desirable or entertaining, or whatever word I want to be filling that blank with \u2026 but not being considered fully human.\u201d<\/p>\n

While conservatives cruise on Grindr, as confirmed by its CEO George Arison in an UnHerd<\/em> interview last July, queer healthcare is suffering. Arison pointed to policies under President Donald Trump\u2019s administration resulting in \u201cawful\u201d cuts to PEPFAR, a longtime global program to address AIDS in more than 50 countries, and \u201creally bad\u201d changes in the country\u2019s HIV response that is now limiting treatments and care.\u00a0The current moment also comes as the Supreme Court has veered sharply right, along with the rest of the federal judiciary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s alarming now is\u2026there are literally dozens of cases that are percolating within the courts,\u201d Law Dork <\/em>journalist Chris Geidner said. \u201cWe have cases that are at the appellate level relating to the ban on transgender people in the military, we have the passport case [on identification], we have cases on efforts to ban federal grants mainly for organizations that do trans work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some observers are raising even bigger alarms. Two former presidents of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, including one currently heading Genocide Watch, told Important Context<\/em> in January there are attempts \u201cto destroy a gender group\u201d, or \u201cgenocide against trans people\u201d in the US \u201cin the near future.\u201d The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention\u2019s executive director Dr Elisa von Joeden-Forgey told Important Context<\/em> that the US is in the \u201cearly-to-mid stages of a genocidal process against trans and nonbinary and intersex people.\u201d The non-governmental organization has issued three \u201cred flag\u201d alerts over the Trump administration\u2019s anti-trans actions. <\/p>\n

For Burke, these trends show the limitations of the kind of representation discourse that has surrounded Heated Rivalry<\/em>. \u201cTiq Milan has a quote in the Disclosure<\/em> documentary that Laverne Cox on Netflix produced where he says, \u2018the more we are seen, the more we are violated,\u2019 and that has stuck with me,\u201d Burke said.\u00a0\u201cIf we can be celebrated in the media, then [it\u2019s easy to assume that] there\u2019s no way that there\u2019s a trans genocide going on, but that\u2019s not true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens is people get very caught up in the Heated Rivalry<\/em> of it all, and they\u2019re not really paying attention to the loss of our rights and the loss of our medical access,\u201d Herrera said. <\/p>\n

He also noted that the Canadian drama was palatable to a broad audience, given that it featured masculine-presenting athletes in a monogamous-oriented story that revolves around the closet and doesn\u2019t mention disease.<\/p>\n

Still, even if the success of Heated Rivalry<\/em> doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re in a queer utopia, it does signal that millions of ordinary people are uninterested in the current wave of anti-queer hatred.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got an effort to push one culture from the people who are in charge of a lot of key institutions, but that\u2019s not actually the cultural moment that people want,\u201d Geidner said. \u201cThese are nothing more than attempts to create differences and create exclusionary policies so that further exclusionary policies can be justified, and it has never worked, and it will not work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Black transgender attorney Kylar Broadus, founder of the Trans People of Color Coalition, agrees. \u201cWhile we see this big pushback in trying to put us all back into a package or can of 19\u2026 whatever, that\u2019s not going to happen because society has already surpassed that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re past that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is some evidence to back that up: A record high 41% of Americans know someone who is transgender, according to a SRSS study, and 85% said trans people should have the same rights and protections as everyone else. 68% of people in the US support same-sex marriage over 10 years after it became legalized, Gallup found.\u00a0And a majority of Americans in a Pew Research Center survey said trans people should be protected from discrimination.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really important to stay as calm as we can in these moments; otherwise we make decisions out of fear, or we make decisions out of complacency because we see ourselves on TV, we think that we aren\u2019t going to be threatened, our access to PrEP won\u2019t be threatened, and our marriage won\u2019t be overturned,\u201d Herrera said about community members.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always about being alert, but also very appreciative of all the things that we\u2019ve been able to accomplish, and our ancestors accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n

Broadus, who said he has seen in speaking engagements how \u201cit\u2019s really depressing now\u201d for the current generation, emphasized perspective.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we have a long way to go, we have come a long way,\u201d he shared. \u201cThere was no trans visibility in my era, or any elders, and the elders that I saw were few and far, and they didn\u2019t have a good life at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the years since, Broadus advocated for the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr Hate Crimes Act, and he was the first openly transgender American to testify before the US Senate on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which he was recognized for by former President Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had to live where I couldn\u2019t go outside, literally, so I have to not make it the \u2026 focus of my life on a daily basis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Art and popular culture can humanize oppressed people, and that\u2019s prevalent with the introduction of Heated Rivalry <\/em>amid anti-queer policies today. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like everybody forgets we\u2019re human, and we contain multitudes,\u201d Herrera added.\u00a0\u201cAnd then all of a sudden, it occurs to everybody all at once that queer people like romance, that queer people have healthy sex, that queer people create art, and we go through that once about every ten years.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And for Broadus, it comes down to this point: \u201cWe\u2019re no different than anyone else; we just want to live our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
