The queens of The Rose Room are once again taking their show on tour, all the way downtown to the Winspear Opera House. Back in October 2020, when COVID was keeping everything shut down, Charles Santos, executive director for TITAS/Dance Unbound, came up with an idea that would help his organization that had been forced to cancel shows, help the Rose Room performers who’d seen their income take a big hit and help the audiences who were desperate for entertainment: The Rose Room on Tour. The first show featured the drag entertainers performing on the outdoor stage at Annette Strauss Square. It was such a huge hit that Santos invited the queens back for another show — this time in the Winspear — that December. Now the Rose Room performers are headed back to the Winspear again, at 8 p.m. on April 19. Don’t miss your chance to see what promises to be an exciting, irreverent and, yes, hilarious show. Tickets start at $39 and are available at ATTPAC.org.

male-female couples only won’t get passed this year.There had been public outcry over the initial version of the bill, which didn’t include a minimum age for marriage.

Los Angeles Times reports.Last year, Buck was convicted after four hours of deliberations on all nine charges brought against him, including maintaining a drug den, distributing methamphetamine, enticement to cross state lines to engage in sex work, and providing the drugs that led to the deaths of Gemmel Moore, 26, and Timothy Dean, 55.Prosecutors had tens of thousands of texts, voice mails, and videos that laid out Buck's rampant drug use and his fetish for injecting Black men with hard drugs and then having sex with them, often when they were too high to consent. Some of Buck's victims — several of whom were homeless and just looking for a place to sleep for the night — wept on the witness stand and told the jury how Buck would also inject them without their approval, including when they were already unconscious.

It’s a simple rule, but every rule has an exception.A woman posed the question to the popular “Am I The A**hole” Reddit forum, and after explaining the context, commenters swarmed to reassure her that no, she is definitely not to blame.The 28-year-old woman explained that she “hates” her older brother, and had a difficult family life.“He hated me too and kept telling lies about me to my parents – if he stole something he would blame me and they believed him,” she wrote. “He sabotaged all of my relationships, he bullied me, he forced my friends against me.

NBC Washington. The video of the altercation, which has been viewed more than a half-million times on Twitter, has led to Gowan receiving threats.Gowan noted that the phrasing used by the man during his rant echoes rhetoric used in debates over how public schools should deal with issued related LGBTQ identity.Those debates have intensified in recent months as several states — most notably, Florida and Alabama — have proposed or passed so-called “parental rights” bills that critics say constitute bans on all LGBTQ content. Most conservatives believe that sexual orientation and gender identity should not be mentioned in schools at all — even in secondary-level classrooms or in subjects like history, science, or sex education.

More sheer and utter stupidity to report from the land of Truth Social.Days after a verified account for Fox News popped up on Donald Trump‘s disastrous social media platform, a spokesperson for the conservative propaganda network issued a statement saying the account is unauthorized.“We are not on Truth Social,” the spokesperson confirmed yesterday.Awkward!Related: Just when we didn’t think things could get worse for Truth Social, this happened…It’s an embarrassing blow to the app as investors likely saw Fox News’ brief, albeit fake, participation as a sign that maybe, just maybe, the struggling site still has a slim chance for survival.Even more embarrassing is that, shortly before Fox News issued the statement, Devin Nunes, who quit Congress to oversee the rollout of the app, took to his Truth Social profile to cheer the network’s presence, writing: “Great to have RSS feed for @FoxNews now LIVE here on TRUTH! This adds to @OAN and @NewsMax.”It’s unclear who created the Fox News account in the first place, or how it got verified, but Axios reports similar accounts bearing the names of other brands, including NASCAR and NASA, appear on the platform, although the profiles have disclaimers indicating they are bot accounts.Trump Media & Technology Group has not issued any comment on the embarrassing Fox News snafu, but Twitter sure has a lot to say about it…Too gross even for Fox?https://t.co/qDXAcbTVmQ— The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) April 14, 2022An “intern” will be blamed.— Reflective Ken (@ReflectiveKen) April 14, 2022Will @DevinNunes sue Fox News?
