DETROIT (Reuters) - Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden and rival Kamala Harris battled over healthcare and came under attack from other candidates on their criminal justice records in a contentious and sometimes angry debate on Wednesday. On the second of back-to-back nights of debates among Democrats seeking the chance to face Republican President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election, Biden and Harris were at the center of a growing fight over healthcare that has split the Democratic Party...

At Unico 20° 87° on the scenic Riviera Maya near Cancun, it seems like you can have it all, up to and including an entirely child-free environment. Hooray, right? Built just a couple of years ago, Unico 20° 87° has been hell-bent on immersing their guests in modern Mexican culture while also giving them the luxury resort experience. And that can be some tricky plate-spinning. The name, which comes from its co-ordinates on a map, proves that dedication to its...

Carissa Pinkston ― an up-and-coming model who has worked for Rihanna’s lingerie line, Savage x Fenty ― apologized Saturday for lying about identifying as transgender, after losing her job over transphobic messages she posted on Facebook, reports the HuffPost. The controversy began in May, when a number of Facebook posts Pinkston made under the name Rissa Danielle surfaced. In a May 23 post, she wrote, “Being transgender does NOT make you a woman. It makes you simply transgender.” On June...

BibleGirl, self-described “internet reality trash” and pop culture-savvy meme queen, has paved her own way to notoriety without the help of RuPaul and her reality show behemoth. You’ll see her at DragCon alongside the A-list queens, and you’ll hear her name pop up in countless fandom discussions, but you’ll also see her poking fun at herself on social media – and probably stirring up drama there, too. “I would describe my drag as being an amalgamation of satire and...

“Faggots.” It was mumbled just quietly enough that only I could hear it. Although it was not directed at me, it still felt like a slap to the face. The slur was uttered by my doubles partner to demean our opponents, in response to being annoyed by them. This summer, I am on multiple USTA teams for the tennis club where I am coaching. For a recent match, one of...

That’s the concept here; a bard who decides to add a little West End sparkle to some of his most celebrated works. We’re treated to Richard III belting out jaunty show tunes while dropping into the splits; the history plays are recounted as a Hamilton-style rap; and the witches from Macbeth appear as you’ve never seen them before. It’s a cute idea that’s here backed up by some serious skill and talent. Guy Hughes is an entertainingly Shakespeare – all...

Pitkin County, Colorado, Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said it’s “somewhat disappointing” that no one has paid for the $24,000 security bill racked up during Vice President Pence’s trip to Aspen for a fundraiser earlier this week. Earlier this week, The Caribou Club, a gay-owned private club in Aspen, Colorado, hosted a $35,000-per-couple VIP fundraising event for Pence Monday evening. DiSalvo told the Aspen Daily that he is having trouble locating the organizer behind the Republican fundraiser to bill them for the...

2019 seems to be a good year for new theatres opening in London; continuing that trend is the brand-new Troubadour Theatre in White City. Home to two performance spaces, Peter Pan is playing in the larger, 1,200 capacity theatre; vast, boxy, and featuring exposed rigging, it more closely resembles a miniature arena than a traditional theatre space. Although this production is large in scale, at times it felt a little bit swallowed up by the cavernous space in which its...

The daughter of a since-deceased employee who worked at a now-long-gone photo shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania recently discovered some photos from a 1957 gay marriage hidden in her mom’s attic. And now Our One Story — a documentary series uncovering the stories behind artifacts from the ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives in Los Angeles, California — is trying to figure out who the men in the photos are.

Nearly four years after openings its doors along Santa Monica Blvd., the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s West Hollywood location is now operating its own pharmacy on-site. Medications for shorter-term treatments, such as antibiotics, can be dispensed there and most often in seven-day increments. Clients can also pick up their refills at Center-WeHo instead of the Center’s main pharmacy located in the McDonald/Wright Building or at a retail pharmacy. “We’ve always been able to administer medication for clients, but we could...
