The Ultimatum: Queer Love may be a sapphic spinoff of a very straight reality show, but its larger-than-life personalities, bonkers dramatic moments, and chaotic lesbians make this the one to watch.In the LGBTQ+ Netflix reality show, where one partner issued an ultimatum, couples decide to marry or move on over the course of ten episodes, where they bond with trial wives before coming back together and either popping the question or walking away. In the first season, only one couple stayed engaged, but so far, season two has more couples who are still all loved up. Now that season two is over and the dramatic and spicy reunion is in the can, lets check back in with the cast and find out where their relationships stand today.Who is still together?AJ & Britney: From player to lovebirdsWhen the show started, Britney was the one who wanted to get married, but AJ felt insecure about Britney being more successful than her and worried about Britney being more focused on her business than her relationship. After AJ was accused of being a player while on the show and Britney developed a sweet friendship with her trial wife Marita, they were the first to get engaged.Where are they now?Not only are AJ and Britney are still together, but AJ upgraded Britneys engagement ring from the one she proposed with on the show. So far, they dont have a date set for the wedding yet, but the two are committed to each other and Britneys VitaLuxx business seems to be going strong.Dayna & Magan: Chaos, hook-ups, and happily-ever-afterDayna was the one to give the ultimatum to Magan, who wasnt ready to tie the knot because she was still anxious about coming out to her conservative Lebanese family. Both Magan and Dayna seemed to fall hard for their trial spouses, and the two argued during the course of the show, but in the end, they made up and got engaged. Where are they now?Fans may be disappointed that Dayna who came across as a villain is still engaged to Magan, who viewers were hoping would end up with Haley, but Dayna and Magan are still engaged and planning on getting married, though theyve yet to set a date.Pilar & Haley: Ten years together leads to fairytale endingWhile Pilars trial marriage to Kyle was a bumpy road, Haley seemed to fall hard for her temporary spouse, Magan. The two even shared I love yous and were open about having sex. But in the end, Pilar and Haley got engaged when Pilar popped the question. Where are they now?The happy couple is still engaged and has plans to elope instead of planning a big wedding.Kyle & Bridget: The love triangle that wasn'tThe couple came on the show with Kyle giving the ultimatum and Bridget not understanding what the point of marriage is. Kyle and Bridget both had eyes for Pilar while the cast was in the dating phase of the show, but ultimately, Kyle and Pilar ended up in a tumultuous trial marriage, while Bridget formed a friendship with her trial wife, Ashley. Despite Bridget not being interested in saying I do when the show started, she ended up popping the question on Ultimatum Day, and Kyle accepted her proposal.Where are they now?Bridget and Kyle are still happily engaged, and both still follow Pilar on Instagram.Who broke up?Ashley & Marita: What happens when love languages clashAshley was the one to issue the ultimatum before coming on the show, and Marita made it clear that she needed to be romanced in her relationship before considering saying I do.Ashley barely got any airtime on the show, but Marita, who originally was hoping to be paired with AJ for her trial marriage, ended up having a very touching relationship with Britney. During the trial marriage, Britney showed Marita what being with a thoughtful, romantic partner was like, but when Ultimatum Day came around, Ashley ended up being the one to break things off with Marita. Where are they now?It was revealed during the reunion that Marita and Ashley took a trip together to Key West after their breakup. At the reunion, the two fought, and Marita ended up storming out while crying. Ashley and Marita are still broken up.Marie and Mel: All is (un)fair in love and food trucksAfter four years together and a shared food truck business, Marie issued an ultimatum to Mel before coming on the show. While Marie struggled in her trial marriage to AJ, who kept sneaking off to see Britney, Mel just kept getting closer and closer to her trial wife, Dayna. Mel and Dayna ended up getting matching tattoos to top off their three-week-long trial marriage, and were accused of having sex, but vehemently denied taking that step (despite some very sus audio heard on the show).And yet, on Ultimatum Day, Mel proposed to Marie, who accepted. Where are they now?Well, the couple may have gotten engaged at the end of the show, but by the reunion, they had already called it quits. Just a couple months after filming ended, Marie broke up with Mel and she stepped away from the food truck business, which is now owned by Mel.

JoJo Siwa's exes are banding together to create TikTok content.Last week, Avery Cyrus posted a 13 second video of her and Kath Ebbs shaking hands (yes, for the entire 13 seconds) while the intro to "Illegal" by PinkPatheress played.The lyrics just might have some relevancy here, as the two were lip syncing to them on screen: "My name is Pink and I'm really glad to meet you / You're recommended to me by some people / Hey, ooh, is this illegal? / Hey, ooh, it feels illegal."@averycyrus@Kath EbbsCyrus and Siwa broke up ages ago after dating for only three months in 2022. But their breakup was a strange one, involving a cruise and a clip of Siwa giving Cyrus a gift while saying, "This is my 'sorry for breaking up with you' present."Siwa's mother later posted a video of her daughter stomping around, seemingly distraught as she claimed she "got used for views and clout," which fans were quick to assume had something to do with Cyrus.The Dance Moms alum's relationship with Ebbs ended with just as much mess, if not more. The two were in a long distance relationship during Siwa's time on Big Brother UK, during which she had some revelations about her sexuality and cozied up to fellow contestant Chris Hughes. Ebbs later revealed Siwa broke up with them after they flew to London for the finale episode, despite previously discussing the possibility of marriage. Not long after, Siwa and Hughes officially began dating.Cyrus and Ebbs didn't reveal what led to them meeting or teaming up for a couple of TikTok videos (Ebbs also posted a lip sync video with the two of them on their own page), but reactions were definitely split. Some viewers were all in for the drama, while others thought it felt just a little too cringe."This is big news for the unemployed community," one wrote."I can only imagine the amount of trauma bonding happening within this friendship," said another.On Cyrus's video, one fan called it "so iconic and shady" while another claimed "this is the energy this pride was missing.""the definition of never moving on," another viewer snarked.Will Siwa's other exes from her prior messy breakups make an appearance next? Undoubtedly some folks will be checking TikTok with their fingers crossed, hoping it will happen.That said, something tells us that Chris Hughes won't be quite as welcome to hang after he and Siwa eventually call it quits.

China is ramping up arrests and prosecutions of writers of danmei, the popular Boys Love genre, which was once the source of dozens of popular television shows and films in the Communist nation.Now its the target of a government crusade to clean up the internet. Related Trans & wildly popular Oprah of China suddenly blackballed by Chinese government The influential entertainer has long been lauded by the same government that is now canceling her performances. At least 30 writers, nearly all of them women in their 20s, have been arrested across the country since February, the defense lawyer for one detained author told the BBC. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today As many as 50 writers have been arrested in Gansu province in central China alone, according to one Chinese news outlet.Another lawyer said he was contacted by at least 150 writers over just two days who had been interrogated, summoned for questioning, or feared that they would be.A phone call shattered my dreams, said one author after being contacted by police. Boys Love erotic fiction is written and read almost exclusively by young women in China and is considered subversive by the government. The male characters are seen as liberated stand-ins for women in a country where gender roles are strictly enforced, and women are almost universally subservient to men.The writers are being accused of breaking Chinas pornography law for producing and distributing obscene material. That law targets explicit descriptions of gay sex or other sexual perversions.Heterosexual depictions dont receive the same scrutiny, the writers say.With domestic distribution of the material shut down over the last several years, the writers of Boys Love stories have turned to offshore distributors, who have gained access to the Chinese market with technology that bypasses Chinese censors.Many writers publish on the Taiwan-based adult fiction website Haitang Literature City, which authorities have scoured to identify Boys Love authors.At least 30 writers published on the platform have been arrested this year and accused of breaking Chinas law over obscene material.Volunteers in a support group for the Haitang writers said police have even questioned some readers. A wave of arrests late last year inspired protests online, with social media users questioning the governments motives in the crackdown.Is sex really something to be ashamed of? asked one Weibo user, arguing that Chinas anti-obscenity laws are out of touch with society almost 30 years after they were enacted.Another commenter wrote that women havent been allowed to decide what is obscene because its men who make the rules in a patriarchal society.Like the gay characters substituting for women in the Boys Love genre, obscenity violations are being used as a stand-in to justify the repression of women in China, online critics say. That conjecture has spooked Chinese authorities, who are doubling down on censorship of government criticism around the latest wave of arrests.The hashtag #HaitangAuthorsArrested earned more than 30 million views on Weibo before it was censored. Posts offering legal advice have disappeared, a prominent Chinese news sites story on the subject was removed, and writers accounts and handles are vanishing overnight. Exacerbating the crackdown are local authorities motives in carrying out the governments internet clean-up. Writers and their families report local police are extorting cash from them based on earnings from selling the Boys Love stories; an equivalent amount or more paid in fines can earn the writers release before prosecution. The governments own formula for punishment also takes into account the amount earned from stories, as well as views. A popular story can earn a writer a life sentence in prison.Its a dramatic turn in the authors fortunes since just a few years ago. In 2021, at least 60 Boys Love stories were optioned for film and TV adaptations, according to The New York Times.But with the genres rise in popularity, Chinese state media began to denounce it as vulgar. The gay story lines distorted young minds, authorities maintained, so films were shelved, shows were canceled, and television regulators banned Boys Love adaptations and gay-themed content more broadly.One popular Boys Love author was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a warning other danmei authors refused to heed.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
