Look the Part, Don’t Go Broke: A Shopping Guide to Get you Through Holiday Party Season

(And of course there was that ill-advised almost-throuple with Stevie and Jake.) All this to say, it’s not often we see a queer character in pop culture offered the same freedom and nonchalance when it comes to discussing romantic or sexual paramours as straight characters are.
