Six years into its messy history, OnlyFans continues to lure new subscribers and high-profile creators—with Tommy Lee and Tyra Sanchez joining the platform in recent weeks.

He continued: "But it's not—for some reason, it's just not great anymore."Videos of the gaffe spread across social media over the weekend.

London when I was 23. Her cute black dress and lip piercing caught my eye and we started talking over our vodka Red Bulls, which quickly turned into a cheeky snog on the sticky dance floor.  The night was a blur of dancing and flashing lights, and I left with her number in my phone and the promise to get a drink together the following weekend. I stumbled out of the club to get cheesy chips with my best friends, a huge grin plastered across my face. I had come out as bisexual the year before – realising my sexuality quite late compared to some – so the idea of my first ever date with a woman after previously being exclusively with men was exciting.

I’ve been out in my personal life since I was 19, but not in my professional world. We all know how women need to obscure our personal lives in business because it could be held against us professionally. I’m not sure how much of it was sexism and how much of it was homophobia, but fear of both kept me compartmentalizing.

This story was supposed to be about a notable California school system near San Francisco that opens students' minds by embracing LGBTQ-related themes district-wide. But in a time when the LGBTQ+ community is often under political attack, before this story was published, it developed an ugly component, and of course, it involved Libs of TikTok.Castro Valley Unified School District Superintendent Parvin Ahmadi credits the school board for embracing the LGBTQ+ community and explains that the impetus for painting progress Pride flag murals on all 15 schools was a student request."Our board has always been very supportive, making sure that our LGBTQ+ students and families are welcomed and valued," Ahmadi says.Two students working with Castro Valley Pride approached school officials last year to request permission to paint a rainbow pathway from the Center for the Arts to Castro Valley High School, she says."There's a lot more than just the flags that are painted.

A children’s hospital in Washington, D.C., has become the most recent victim of an online movement to vilify medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care to trans youth. Children’s National Hospital has been under fire from far-right extremists after the far-right Twitter account Libs of TikTok posted an audio recording that features a staff member appearing to say that the hospital provides hysterectomies to minors, according to the Associated Press.Since the Libs of TikTok posted the recording, the hospital has faced "a large volume of hostile and threatening phone calls and emails,” a hospital spokesperson told the news wire. The exposed host of the account, real estate broker and transphobe Chaya Raichik, posed as a mother seeking care for her 16-year-old transgender son.After asking her son’s age, a supposed staff member informs Raichik her son is “in the clear” for a hysterectomy.

For years there has been a rise in right-wing extremism in the United States, but since the Department of Justice obtained and executed a search warrant at former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago retirement residence, violent extremists have taken to TikTok to post alarming videos and one Texas activist is sounding the alarm.Michelle Davis, a progressive blogger in Texas, began noticing right-wing extremism when writing about the Black Lives Matter movement and issues surrounding Confederate statues in 2020. In any given week, Davis tracks several thousand extremist TikTok accounts. She agrees that, in a way, she's the antidote to the right-wing Twitter troll Chaya Raichik who tweets under the Libs of TikTok pseudonym.She saw hundreds of new, threatening TikTok posts each day in the wake of the FBI's August 8 raid of Donald Trump's compound, she said, and still more on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.She says she sees the same kind of rhetoric that she noticed online ahead of the January 6th violent insurrection at the U.S.

Does Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” law — aka the “Don’t Say Gay” law — violate First Amendment, due-process and equal-protection rights?To paraphrase a bunch of unhappy Floridians: Abso-eff-ing-lutely. Now they’d like a federal judge to halt school districts from enforcing the law, which prohibits teachers from discussing gender identity or sexual orientation in grades K-3, and bans any such discussions deemed “age-inappropriate” for older students as well.Related: 16 states just turned to Ron DeSantis and said “GAY GAY GAY”On Friday, a group of Florida teens and their families, along with LGBTQ advocacy groups, requested a preliminary injunction, arguing their constitutional rights are bing violated.

(CNN) — Yeshiva University filed an emergency request with the Supreme Court on Monday, seeking to block a court order requiring the New York university to recognize a "Pride Alliance" LGBTQ student club.In court papers, the school says that "As a deeply religious Jewish university, Yeshiva cannot comply with that order because doing so would violate its sincere religious beliefs about how to form its undergraduate students in Torah values."Lawyers for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing Yeshiva, argued that the lower court's order is an "unprecedented" intrusion into the University's religious beliefs and a clear violation of Yeshiva's First Amendment rights.The New York Court of Appeals refused to review the denial of a stay, prompting school officials to petition the high court, but it has not yet ruled on the merits of the dispute.The application comes as the conservative majority of the court ruled in favor of religious conservatives in two cases last term. In addition, in 2021, the court sided with a Catholic foster care agency that refused to consider same-sex couples as potential foster parents.Justice Samuel Alito has repeatedly called for greater protections for the free exercise of religion including during a July speech in Rome.
