My Weekend Crush

Now that “Hacks” is back, here’s a quick reminder that Hannah Einbinder should be rapidly becoming your favorite outspoken queer celebrity. Not just because she is openly queer and extremely talented and very funny and, yes, hot. But because she speaks out on what she believes. Speaks passionately, speaks clearly. Does not suffer bullshit. Uses her privilege and her platform for more than just glorifying herself. Wears lots of oversized suits. Look, you find your moral clarity where you find it. I sometimes find it in a nice suit.

If you haven’t watched Hannah’s speech accepting the HRC Visibility Award for 2025 last month, whew. That is what we call a barn burner. A gay, progressive, righteous barn burner.

And, lest you think this is a one-off, I’m pleased to confirm that Hannah is as righteous, riotous and resolute in more casual settings. Like on Stephen Colbert this month discussing loud gay sex while making sure us girlies “focus up” on what matters.

Is it fair to for one person to be wildly charismatic, morally unwavering and funny as fuck? Laraine Newman raised a good one, it seems. Happy weekend, all.
