Two: Be as late as you need to be.
Three Take care of your divas.
Four: Show up and show out.
Five: Always travel in style.
In an interview this week with Forbes.com, Burgess said his guide is meant to tell people how to 'know where you're going and how you're getting there, in my case, with Lyft!'
He said he was personally preparing for Pride Weekend by 'giving jaw dropping performances in Oh, Mary ! and afterwards blessing as many bars as I can in NYC with my presence.'
Asked why celebrating Pride is important now, Burgess said, 'Our freedom is being policed now more than ever, and it is imperative that we create community and stick together, that we lead with love and show the world what we're really made of. '
He added, 'Pride is a way of living. It's personal and political. I cannot separate the two. My every inhalation is pride. Pride is happening for me every second of every day.'
New York City Pride events will culminate in a march June 29,
New York City Pride's theme for 2025 - 'Rise Up: Pride in Protest' - honors the legacy of the first Pride March in 1970, which commemorated the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots.
The march will offer a premium, ticketed VIP experience on its grandstand, featuring a first-rate viewing spot with comfortable stadium-style seating, plus amenities such as private restrooms, complimentary food and beverages and live entertainment.
San Francisco's Pride Parade will begin Sunday morning, June 29, at 10:30 a.m. on Market Street at Embarcadero Plaza. This is expected to have over 250 contingents and last around four hours. Contingents will step onto Market Street and proceed toward the Pride Celebration, ending around Market and 9th.
Its theme will be 'Queer Joy is Resistance.'
Burgess has succeeded Cole Escola as Mary Lincoln in Oh, Mary!

Lena Dunham underwent 'painful metamorphosis' after end of Girls
Lena Dunham underwent a "painful metamorphosis" after her TV show Girls ended in 2017. The 39-year-old was catapulted to fame in her mid-20s when she created and starred in the popular TV show, and during its run, she had to withstand backlash over the show's content, face scrutiny over her appearance and deal with the fallout of controversial comments. After Girls came to an end in 2017 after six seasons, Dunham was exhausted and stepped back from public life, going to rehab over an addiction to prescription anxiety medication and relocating to London. Reflecting on that time, she told The Sunday Times, "I felt like all the maturing and changing that had been kept at bay by the experience of being in that cocoon of the show was suddenly happening at a speed that was overwhelming. It was a painful metamorphosis... I definitely took an intentional break (from public life)." While Girls depicted four twentysomethings growing up in New York, the writer/director admitted that she wasn't able to mature herself while the show was on the air. "Being on the Girls set all the time was like living in a fake New York," she explained. "I spent my whole twenties pretending to go out in the city and pretending to live, so I didn't actually know how to do it at all. When the show ended I didn't know what direction to move in. I wasn't young enough to be out and feeling fun and free. I felt fatigued, yet didn't know how to mature (in New York). I didn't know how to grow up there." After moving to London, the Catherine Called Birdy director met musician Luis Felber and they got married in 2021. Their love story inspired Dunham's new TV show, Too Much, which will debut on Netflix on 10 July.

13 Absolutely Baffling Photos From This Week That Will Make You Say, "What Am I Even Looking At?"
Hello again, and welcome to our roundup of the most confusing photos we found on Reddit this week. Check out last week's if you missed it — and let's get right into it! this a top-down view or is the person looking up? The person who took the photo is actually at the base of the stairs, looking up — you can tell by the railings. did this dog's body go? It is most definitely there! The foreground is a curb, and the photo was taken from a lower position than the dog, so its body is just hiding behind its head! is a car here. Can you tell where? It is on the left side and is making a perfect mirror reflection off the background. The two black things above the tire are the handles. called this "a bouquet of toe beans" and it is confusing and a bit unsettling. Can you decipher it? The dog has all four of its paws just hanging off the couch. Its black toenails are what make this photo even more trippy, but it is just four dog legs, each with five paw pads. Is this a tarantuala/bird hybrid? Nah, those are babies, and what looks like a tarantula is actually each one of their wings folded up beside them. one creates all sorts of confusion. Are you confused? Some people want to know why the middle person appears to be pulling their hair out (she's just pulling out a hair tie). And some people think the last photo is someone, uh, spreading their cheeks, but it is just a back massage. Lastly, people are also wondering why "pregnancy" appears to be a service, lol. this a tiny what is going on here? The pizza is normal-sized, just on the floor, and the person is standing up. They are holding the key up in front of them to make the pizza look even smaller. A depth perception trick! is this person sitting on? Just a big bean bag that happens to resemble the color of sweatpants! this person disappearing? Nope! Their hat just matches the sun on the ground in the background perfectly, and the rest of their body is in the shade. this dough indented or popping out? It looks like it is popping out, but it is actually indented. that couple is holding hands. But, what is that in the background? It is someone's leg crossed over their other leg with their arm resting on top. Get your mind out of the gutter! bride does not have one arm that is larger than the other. Why does it look like it, though? Her arm is blending in with the person behind her who is tending to the back of her dress. finally, what is going on with this ghost cat? This is not the reflection of a cat; it is a reflection of the cabinets in the back. Which one of these photos stumped you the most? Let us know in the comments!
