(CNN) -- When Patrick Haggerty was gearing up to record his very first country music album, he had a choice to make.He could be the industry-friendly country star and remain in the closet, or he could use music to make a statement about what it was like being a gay man in a deeply discriminatory world.He chose the latter, and 1973's "Lavender Country," Haggerty's first album recorded under the same name, is now widely considered the first country album recorded by an out gay musician.Haggerty, an unflappable activist for LGBTQ and socialist causes and married father of two, for years was persona non grata in the music business. "Lavender Country" was a defiantly queer record, with songs like "Cryin' These C**ksuckin' Tears," during a time when few musicians in any genre were comfortable coming out as gay.So it was surprising, most of all to Haggerty, when he got his chance in 2014 to re-release that historic album and record another one, performing with other LGBTQ country musicians and sharing his story with millions.

A woman in Las Vegas says she remains shaken from her experience last week when another woman berated her in a public restroom for being transgender. The problem is that she’s not trans, and, as she puts it, regardless of whether she had been, the entire situation was plainly wrong.In Las Vegas, Jay, a 24-year-old cis woman, was driving with her boyfriend when she said she had to use the restroom.Jay says the couple stopped at Rampart Casino after being out all day to fix a seat belt on their car.Because she knew she would take longer, she gave her boyfriend some money to gamble while he waited and she went to the bathroom.“As soon as I got in, I went straight to a stall,” Jay tells The Advocate. “About a minute or so in, I start to hear a woman being extremely aggressive.

Results from a Phase I CORAL-BOOST and CORAL-CEPI trial under biotechnology company Gritstone Bio shows their self-amplifying mRNA (samRNA) vaccine can induce a safe, strong, and durable immune response against COVID-19.BioSpace reports that although the data was preliminary, it could provide the needed technology to fill the unmet needs in the COVID battle.The trial consisted of three dose levels in CORAL-CEPI, all of which were found to be immunogenic. A spokesperson for Gritstone said their primary goals consisted of “evaluating our self-amplifying mRNA candidates for potential application against COVID, and providing clinical proof-of-concept for the use of the samRNA platform and other infectious diseases.”The 340 participants in the CORAL-CEPI studies had never been immunized for COVID and are all HIV-positive.

(CNN) -- Prominent figures on social media, including some of the loudest voices on the political right, are pushing a salacious and false conspiracy theory about the attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, in an apparent attempt to shift the narrative about the assault.The claim that big names like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Jr., and Dinesh D'Souza have promoted to millions of their followers: Paul Pelosi and the man who attacked him were gay lovers who had gotten into a fight.The spurious theory traces back to an incorrect early news report and a handful of pieces of evidence that its proponents have spun wildly out of context. It runs contrary to the explanation police and federal law enforcement have outlined -- that the suspect in the attack, David DePape, broke into Pelosi's house and attacked him."There is absolutely no evidence that Mr.

DNA evidence has provided a link between the rapes and murders of a lesbian and another woman in the same Washington, D.C., apartment building in the 1980s.Greta Rainey, 35, was raped and strangled in 1987 in her girlfriend’s apartment in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Her girlfriend, Roxanne Johnson, 32 at the time, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

“Just as it’s unacceptable for Americans to sit behind bars for simple possession of cannabis, it's absolutely unacceptable for an American sitting in a Russian gulag.” So said DC Marijuana Justice co-founder and cannabis activist, Adam Eidinger, to The Washington Post.So on October 26, when WNBA star Brittney Griner lost her appeal and, despite hope for a reduction in her punishment, a Russian court decided to uphold her nine-year prison sentence for drug smuggling charges, the same advocacy group and her supporters decided to hold a “smoke out” in protest.The demonstration kicked off at 4:20 local time outside the country’s embassy, and the group told demonstrators, “If you have used vape cartridges, bring them!"Griner, who was arrested February 17 at the Sheremetyevo International Airport near Moscow, had 0.702 grams of cannabis oil in vape cartridges in her luggage. "I had no intention to break the law," Grinder said during her initial testimony. She then added that it was an accident due to stress and rushing while packing, while also recovering from a then-recent COVID-19 diagnosis.At the time, she’d also testified that she’d used cannabis oil to treat various injuries she’d sustained over her basketball career.During the demonstration, protesters not only smoked marijuana, they also  carried a 51 foot inflatable joint.

(CNN) -- Pitched battles over abortion rights and election falsehoods are playing out in attorneys general contests across the nation.Though the races receive less attention than federal races and contests for governor, 11 competitive races for states' top prosecutor underscore the crucial roles that attorneys general play in determining their states' approaches to the enforcement of abortion bans, election restrictions, federal policies, and more.Some Democratic attorneys general, such as Michigan's Dana Nessel and Wisconsin's Josh Kaul, have refused to defend their states' decades-old abortion bans in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.Republican attorneys general, meanwhile, have been at the forefront of legal battles with President Joe Biden's administration, including over student debt, gun control, and LGBTQ policies.

Donald Trump‘s ongoing battle with the Justice Department just took another totally ridiculous yet completely unsurprising turn.Logs detailing the contents of hundreds of the documents seized by FBI agents from Mar-a-Lago back in August were briefly published online this week in an apparent slip up by a court employee who we’re guessing has since been fired.Reporter Zoe Tillman at Bloomberg was the first to notice the logs on Tuesday afternoon in a legal docket that was posted as part of the ongoing battle between ex-president Donald Trump and the Justice Department.Newly unsealed DOJ filing offers more details on what exactly the special filter team did during the Mar-a-Lago search, what they found, and what they determined might be privileged (tldr: not much) or returned to Trump for other reasons https://t.co/dWe9OaaKNZ— Zoe Tillman (@ZoeTillman) October 4, 2022According to the logs, which were quickly removed, among the documents seized by the feds were government records and communications from outside parties, including handwritten notes by Trump, as well as medical records, notes about discussions of presidential pardons, and records from the ex-president’s various legal entanglements.In total, FBI agents took more than 200,000 pages from Mar-a-Lago.

Well, the thing we all knew was going to happen eventually just happened.Donald Trump asked SCOTUS intervene in his ongoing battle with the Justice Department over the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago back in August.The ex-president filed an emergency request late last night asking the Supreme Court to overrule an appellate court decision blocking a special master from reviewing roughly 100 of the stolen documents.Now, here’s where it gets especially squirrely.The request is being handled by far-right, anti-LGBTQ Justice Clarence Thomas, whose far-right, anti-LGBTQ wife, Ginni, was questioned last week by the January 6 committee about her close ties to the MAGA militia and her alleged involvement in Trump’s failed coup.NEW: Ginni Thomas met with Jan 6 committee IN PERSON. She did not answer my questions pic.twitter.com/5z6pypr0S9— Annie Grayer (@AnnieGrayerCNN) September 29, 2022Politico reports:Lawyers for Trump asked Justice Clarence Thomas on Tuesday to issue an emergency order that would restore an outside reviewer’s authority over about 100 documents with classification markings found at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate during the Aug.

President Biden raised a few eyebrows this week, after he said he was “sort of raised” in a Puerto Rican community in Delaware. That included Seth Meyers, who joked on Tuesday that Biden’s words sounded pretty similar to a grandpa’s first encounter with gay people.Biden was in Puerto Rico this week getting a look at hurricane damage when he made his comments, noting that Delaware has a large Puerto Rican population.

A federal court in Florida dismissed a challenge to the state’s “don’t say gay” law last week, but left open the possibility the case could be refiled in the future.In a 25-page opinion issued last Thursday, U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor, who was appointed to the bench by former President Donald Trump, found the plaintiffs Equality Florida, Family Equality, and a group of teachers, students, and parents had not established standing to file the case.“The principal problem is that most of plaintiffs’ alleged harm is not plausibly tied to the law’s enforcement so much as the law’s very existence,” wrote Winsor, noting no injunction issued by a court could resolve that issue.The ruling came in response to motions filed by Equality Florida and Family Equality requesting discovery in the case filed in April.

ABOVE: He makes some good points.

Donald Trump isn’t exactly known for behaving tactfully in public, but the more the world learns of his off-camera behavior, the creepier he gets.According to a new book, the former president regularly wore his homophobia and transphobia like badges of honor among his staffers, sometimes leaving them stunned.Related: Donald Trump’s big plan to stall the DOJ comes back to slap him hard across the faceNew York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s forthcoming book, Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America details how Trump’s preoccupation with appearing to be masculine fueled his alarming behavior.Haberman describes one meeting early in Trump’s administration with vice president Mike Pence and campaign aide Jason Miller, whom Trump said definitely “likes the ladies.”“You know how sometimes someone turns out to be gay later and you knew?” Trump said, according to the book.

Donald Trump often asked oddly personal questions about staffers’ sexuality and made homophobic remarks about those he perceived might be gay, according to a new book.

For the first time I actually think Donald Trump and his family may get what they deserve. They have been screwing the country for so long it seemed no one could get to them. Donald Trump is like a mafia don, with his family, and others like Rudy Giuliani, being his soldiers. Like many mafia don’s we have seen, while not going down for the deaths he caused, he will likely go down for his financial shenanigans.

Kellyanne Conway‘s righteous indignation is off the charts, and nobody seems to be buying her latest outburst.The former Trump adviser has been hitting the campaign trail in an attempt to rally up enthusiasm among Republican midterm voters. On Monday night, she appeared on Fox News and attacked Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman for displaying a marijuana flag outside the State Capitol.Related: Donald Trump’s big plan to stall the DOJ comes back to slap him hard across the faceFetterman is currently the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate against Trump-endorsed Republican Dr.

Donald Trump‘s strategy of using delaying tactics to slowly chip away at his problems appears to be backfiring spectacularly as he clashes with the Department of Justice’s investigation into that trove of highly-classified documents he stashed at Mar-a-Lago.The former president demanded a special master be assigned to his case to review the thousands of documents, despite the DOJ arguing there is “no role for a special master to play in executive privilege.”Related: Trump’s latest defense is the joke that keeps on givingTrump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon agreed to the request, and even approved team-Trump’s suggestion of Raymond Dearie for the role. Sounds like a major win, right?Wrong.The Daily Beast reports that Trump’s special master play “may have actually backfired and put him on a fast-track collision course with the federal government he once led.”Even after Cannon threw Trump a bone and gave Dearie ample time to rule on the dispute over the documents, Dearie essentially said “no m’am” and has been working faster than anyone anticipated.When Trump’s legal team refused to offer details into which documents the former president says he declassified (some with his mind, apparently), Dearie demanded they provide evidence on a short deadline.

Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.Extracts appeared yesterday in The Atlantic.As told to Haberman, Graham and Texas Senator Ted Cruz persuaded Trump not to endorse a challenger to Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). Instead, Trump endorsed Sasse: a decision he went on to regret as Sasse voted to convict the then President during his second impeachment.“Like a schmuck, I went along with it,” Trump said of the requests to back Sasse.Related: Lindsey Graham may want to stay off Twitter todayHaberman says she turned up to interview Trump at his Bedminster golf club.
