#WashingtonDC, #USA
Straight men are trending on TikTok and YouTube for their ecstatic reactions to the queer hockey romance series "Heated Rivalry" on the Max platform.Writer Emma Glassman-Hughes attributes the massive success of the show to its exploration of yearning, a concept she discussed on the Vox podcast "Explain It to Me" as a grounding force for joy.Based on novels by Rachel Reid, the production has sparked broader conversations about vulnerable masculinity and the need for deeper depictions of desire among women and queer people.
