During her season Jaida gifted us with her grace, style, and, of course, the catchphrase "LOOK OVER THERE!" She also won three episodes during S12, and only ended up in the bottom once — where she sent Heidi N Closet home after a lip sync to Prince's "1999."The sponge queen of our hearts first sashayed into the Werk Room during Season 10, where she went home during episode 10 — the makeover challenge — after losing to Kameron Michaels' to a lip sync of Lizzo's "Good As Hell." However, Monét didn't go home completely empty-handed; she was voted that season's Miss Congeniality by her fellow S10 queens. Monét returned for All Stars 4, where she won three challenges and tied for the crown with Trinity the Tuck. During Season 5, Jinkx didn't initially seem to pose much of a threat to the other queens — especially in that season packed with so much talent. But like water off a duck's back, Jinkx didn't let that get to her.

RIDGELAND, Miss. -- A Mississippi library is on track to receive the full amount of money it was budgeted, months after a mayor threatened to withhold funding because the library displayed LGBTQ books for young readers.The city of Ridgeland and the Madison County Library System reached an agreement this week to end the dispute, news outlets reported.

A group describing themselves as "a coalition of community stakeholders concerned about the future of the Castro Theatre" have written Gregg Perloff, chief executive officer of Another Planet Entertainment, to express their concerns about the future of the theater.Another Planet is the Berkeley-based concert promotion company that assumed management of the fabled cinema earlier this year."We are very concerned that changes being made without the input of the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District will result in the erasure or drastic reduction of queer culture in the Castro Theatre," the letter stated. Dated April 12, the letter expresses concern about "the probable loss of regular film programming, sing-alongs, world-class film festivals, and low-cost rentals accessible to specialty producers like Mark Huestis and Peaches Christ beyond this calendar year." Furthermore, it details additional concerns about preservation of the historic theater along with its organ, the movie screen, "a century's worth of ephemera worthy of cataloging," and various other matters.In a news release to the Bay Area Reporter which accompanied the letter, cultural district manager Tina Valentin Aguirre, a genderqueer Latinx person, said that APE had refused to meet with them."It's been really disappointing to experience Another Planet Entertainment's erasure of film and queer culture in the Castro Theatre while refusing to meet with us or respond with substantive answers to detailed concerns that we have presented to them privately and now publicly," Aguirre stated.

In the article about the second break-in at the Castro Theatre, (online April 4 and in print April 7) it was incorrectly reported that suspect Gary Marx has an attorney. He has not been assigned a lawyer yet.

It's been two years since the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have indulged the public's thirst for hunky Jesuses and foxy Marys in person but, finally, they're back and ready to party.San Franciscans can expect a full weekend of LGBTQ-centered Easter celebrations this year: the Sisters' annual Easter party in Mission Dolores Park on April 17, and a new celebration in the Castro, the Castro Easter Eggstravaganza Block Party, hosted by the Castro Merchants Association on April 16.The Sisters, the internationally beloved drag nun charitable group that got their start in San Francisco, are also expected to gather on Saturday for the official unveiling of Sister Vish-New Way, at the corner of Dolores Street and Alert Alley.

Erica Anenberg likes to be hands on in her work, especially when it comes to home renovations.

My wholesale retail business basically flatlined," she recalled.

Few could have foreseen the longer term repercussions of that horrible tragedy on New Year's Eve 2020, when Troy Ramon McAlister, then 45, while allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and methamphetamine, struck Elizabeth Platt and Hanako Abe as they entered a crosswalk at Mission and Second streets. Platt, 60, was killed on the spot; Abe, 27, died soon after in hospital.McAlister, who pleaded not guilty in his arraignment a few days later, had a long arrest record and was out on parole.

In the very first line of his campaign bio, Derek Marshall comes out as "an openly gay progressive Democrat and political organizer running to represent the people of the High Desert, the valley, and the mountains." It is indicative of how the formerly conservative area east of Los Angeles has changed politically over the past decade.More young professionals and families pushed out of coastal Southern California cities due to high housing costs have migrated over the Cajon Pass to Victorville, where Marshall lives, in San Bernardino County. Marshall, 39, first discovered the area in 2009 and is now aiming to represent it in the U.S.

Looking back at the last two years, it feels like an eternity. I remember it feeling like the first part of "Avengers Endgame" when the pandemic hit: the news would show the freeway with hardly any cars on the road, businesses were closed, and you would go on social media and the events you were following were all saying CANCELED.

Pride and policeI just read "Pride groups grapple with police in parades" [April 7]. In 2019, anti-police and anti-corporate demonstrators blocked the Pride parade for an hour, and most people had no idea what was going on, just that there was a long holdup.

Now that Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill has become law, legislators in other states, not surprisingly, are working on similar proposals. Schools have become the flashpoint across the country, leading up to November's midterm elections, and national Democrats are once again being put on the defensive in many statehouses.

Everything is relative. While very little seems to shock audiences today, there was a time when some music videos were deemed “too hot” and needed to be edited or even censored lest they cause innocent, unsuspecting viewers to be damned to hell.

Donald Trump Jr. is throwing in his two cents on Florida’s new “Don’t Say Gay” law, and true to form, it’s completely unhinged.Among the fear-mongering right wing talking points we’re used to hearing by now, Trump managed to invent a whole new one — that some teachers may go “under camouflage” in order to “indoctrinate and groom” kids.Amping up the manufactured urgency to eleven, he said: “Until we do something about it, give parents the ability to do something about it, it’s over for our kids, for their future, for their education.Related: Don Jr. has a new grift and it will make your eyes roll right out of your head“And honestly, the only reason I can think of is that you’re literally trying to indoctrinate and groom these children.“I guess, at least they’re easy to pick out and spot for the most part.

Screenwriter and playwright David Mamet has weighed in on the ongoing cultural debate over so-called “Don’t Say Gay” laws. In a strange move, the 74-year-old says he supports the laws and accused male teachers of being “predators” and “pedophiles.”Seriously?!?The pulitzer Prize winner and author behind such plays as Glengarry Glen Ross, Oleanna, and Speed the Plow among others, offered his views on the “Don’t Say Gay” issue April 10 in an interview with Fox News.Related: Of course Joe Rogan is defending the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ billHost Mark Levin brought up a previous assertion made by the playwright that kindergartners are “trained in a bizarre catechism of sexual identity politics.” Conversation then turned to the newly enacted “Don’t Say Gay” law in Florida, which prompted the writer to launch into a rant defending the law.“What we have is kids not only being indoctrinated but groomed, in a very real sense, by people who are, whether they know it or not, sexual predators,” Mamet claimed.

You may not have seen Paul Thomas Anderson’s Boogie Nights since it premiered twenty-five years ago, but chances are you can still remember the film’s final scene — the one where star Mark Wahlberg unzips his pants to reveal an alarmingly large prosthetic.Wahlberg played aspiring adult film performer Dirk Diggler in the period drama set in Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley, and while Diggler’s legendary endowment is often discussed throughout the film, audience’s jaws still dropped at that final shot.And in a sort of “Where are they now?” but for foot-long prosthetics, we now know the current resting spot of the disproportionate prop: locked up in a safe in Wahlberg’s home.During an April 12 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen asked about the famed phallus.Related: Where the boys are: 5 shows to stream that feature full-frontal male nudity“Is it true that you still have the prosthetic you wore in ‘Boogie Nights’?” she asked.“Yes, yes. It’s in a safe locked away,” Wahlberg replied.
