This latest of our annual Pride covers is also a coming out party of sorts (pun intended) as Patrick Gomez steps into his new role as Editor in Chief/General Manager of Entertainment Weekly, a brand he says has been a part of his identity for decades.
“It makes for a more comfortable environment, you know? You don’t have to code-switch,” His fellow cover star, Joel Kim Booster, agrees: “It’s great working with so many queer people, because someone finally gets our references, I can talk about Cherry Jones and people understand who that is.”
On the set of Entertainment Weekly’s 2022 Pride cover shoot, cover star, Billy Eichner, reflects on being surrounded by a queer photographer, crew, and journalist.
