Cuando me gradué de la universidad en Portland, Oregón, hace ocho años, soñaba con tomar mi especialidad en español, mi espíritu de aventura y mudarme al extranjero, donde de inmediato tendría un amante gay que me presentaría nuevos idiomas, comidas y sexo. En vez de eso, regresé a vivir a mi pueblo natal, en Saint Paul, Minnesota, y me instalé en el departamento de mi abuela irlandesa en un asilo católico, donde ella y yo apenas hablábamos y donde ella, al menos, no comía. A los 90 años, después de haber vivido una vida larga y saludable, había decidido morir de hambre, y yo había decidido, a petición de mi madre, estar ahí con ella.

Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter, and LGBTQ+ and other civil rights groups are worried this means more hate speech on the platform.The $44 billion deal closed Thursday night, and Musk, the world’s richest man, has assumed the title of “chief twit.” He has said he will reverse Twitter’s permanent ban of former President Donald Trump, and he wants to allow a variety of viewpoints on the platform — but progressive advocates say he will likely allow hateful content.“Despite his claim that he wanted to buy Twitter to ‘help humanity,’ Elon Musk has a record of posting and defending harmful anti-LGBTQ content as well as content that harms other marginalized communities,” said a statement released Friday by GLAAD. “GLAAD remains deeply concerned about the safety of LGBTQ people on Twitter and we join other organizations that are now questioning Twitter’s future policies and actions against extremist content.”Twitter’s moderation wasn’t great under the previous ownership, and it undoubtedly will be looser under Musk, Cathy Renna, communications director for the National LGBTQ Task Force, told The Advocate.

Following the brutal attack on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 82-year-old husband, Paul, on Friday morning, Caitlyn Jenner felt it imperative to weigh in.Speaking on Fox News, where she's a contributor, Jenner insinuated the Speaker and her husband didn't have adequate security to repel such an attack. Paul Pelosi is now recovering after a 42-year-old man burst into his San Francisco home and attacked him with a hammer; he was allegedly looking for the Speaker, who was not home at the time.Jenner quickly pivoted to casting blame on everyone from President Biden to San Francisco itself, which she called a "violent city" and referred to a crime wave in the U.S., though crime remains significantly lower throughout the nation's cities than at its apex 30 years ago.

Throughout his campaign for Virginia governor, Glenn Youngkin embraced the rhetoric of “parental rights,” allowing it to guide his campaign’s position on key issues, including mask mandates and diversity efforts in our K-12 system.To be clear, there is a dire need to ensure that parents have a voice in our education. The disregarded mental health concerns, failure to appropriately implement accommodations for disabled students, and lackluster equity responses during the COVID-19 pandemic made clear the school systems were largely ill-equipped to handle community concerns.

The first time I heard the term “lipstick lesbian” was when Amanda Bearse, a costar on one of Fox's most iconic programs, Married ... With Children, came out as a lesbian in 1993.If you were around in 1993 — or old enough to vote in that year, let’s say — you know that at that time the words gay or lesbian, to the uninitiated and/or naive, were usually dumbed down to stereotypes. Lesbians were “butch” and "manly," and gay men were “limp-wristed” and "queer." There were other words, of course, that were much harsher.

(CNN) -- The man who allegedly attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on Facebook about Covid vaccines, the 2020 election and the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, and an acquaintance told CNN that he seemed "out of touch with reality."David DePape, 42, was identified by police Friday as the suspect in the assault on Paul Pelosi at the speaker's San Francisco home.Two of DePape's relatives told CNN that DePape is estranged from his family, and confirmed that the Facebook account -- which was taken down by the social media company on Friday -- belonged to him.His stepfather, Gene DePape, said David DePape grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, and left Canada about 20 years ago to pursue a relationship that brought him to California."I really don't know what to think," the suspect's uncle, Mark DePape, said of his nephew's alleged attack on Pelosi. "Hopefully it's a scam.

An advocacy group in Denver is bringing attention to domestic violence as an ongoing issue. Men and LGBTQ+ people have been calling for help in more significant numbers since the pandemic began, according to the group.SafeHouse Denver is hoping to snap the stigma of speaking out for anyone who is a victim of domestic violence. According to its website, the group is the only agency in the city and county of Denver that offers comprehensive domestic violence services to the victims of domestic abuse.The most common perception of domestic violence is that it is specific to women with cis-male partners.While SafeHouse Denver reports an increase in the number of men and people who identify as LGBTQ+, only 5 percent of their clients are males, and 13 percent are LGBTQ+, according to Denver Fox affiliate KDVR.According to the CDC’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 44 percent of lesbians and 61 percent of bisexual women experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 35 percent of straight women.LGBTQ+ members reported high rates of intimate partner violence, according to the 2013 CDC study.

Billy: "We thought that name was funny, and also a way to acknowledge the cis white gay male experience at Stonewall. It's not written in "stone", but I think it’s generally acknowledged that Stonewall was a riot started by trans women of colour, so that was our way of conveying that reality."Luke: "There are three times in the movie where Bobby is specifically aware of his cis white male privilege.
