Way back in 1993, the Sanderson sisters woke up to discover they had been waiting 300 years for a virgin  to light a candle. Well, it’s only been 19 years this go-round, and we are pretty dang sure that “virgin” has nothing to do with at least part of the story in Hocus Pocus 2. That part would be the part with Ginger Minj, Kornbread Jeté and Kahmora Hall.

Maura Healey, currently the attorney general of Massachusetts, easily won the Democratic nomination for governor in Tuesday’s primary, making her one of two lesbian candidates who could make history in November by being elected governors.As of 9 p.m. local time, Healey was leading Sonia Chang-Díaz 84 percent to 16 percent, and the Associated Press had called the race for her. Chang-Díaz, a state senator, ended her campaign in June but was still on the ballot.The Republican primary has not been called yet.

Maura Healey, the barrier-breaking attorney general of Massachusetts, secured the Democratic nomination for governor on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, putting her on track to become the first woman to be elected governor in the state. If Ms. Healey wins in November, and if another Democrat running for governor of Oregon, Tina Kotek, also wins, they would become the first two openly lesbian governors in the country.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Tuesday upheld Washington State’s ban on conversion therapy for minors.“In relying on the body of evidence before it as well as the medical recommendations of expert organizations, the Washington Legislature rationally acted by amending its regulatory scheme for licensed health care providers to add ‘[p]erforming conversion therapy on a patient under age eighteen’ to the list of unprofessional conduct for the health professions,” Judge Ronald M.

 (CNN) -- From life before European contact to the Trail of Tears to the modern-day tribal government, the Cherokee National History Museum tells the long, rich story of the Cherokee people.But one of the darkest chapters of Cherokee history remained absent from its walls, until recently.The Cherokee National History Museum in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, opened a new exhibit last month about the Cherokee Freedmen, or the Black people once enslaved by the tribe. The exhibit, titled "We Are Cherokee: Cherokee Freedmen and the Right to Citizenship," details the decades-long fight by Freedmen and their descendants to be recognized as citizens of the tribe, illuminating it through art, family photos, enrollment applications and other records.The display, which greets museum visitors as they first walk in, is one of several recent steps taken by the Cherokee Nation to reckon with its history of slavery."This museum exhibit is really the latest in our ongoing effort to not just adhere to legal requirements of equality, but to really embrace the spirit of equality and to explore this part of Cherokee history that, frankly, has been diminished and not talked about for generations," Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr.

Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro was almost yanked off the air, according to a leaked email written by a network exec sent in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. And no, it wasn’t because she was suspected of throwing back too many glasses of boxed wine before, during, and after taping.The dramatic email was first reported by NPR and is said to have complained that Pirro was reporting on dubious conspiracy theories found online to justify then-president Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the election had been rigged.Related: Apparently Donald Trump considers Jeanine Pirro the Tiffany Trump of Fox NewsPirro and others at the conservative propaganda network falsely accused Dominion Voting Systems, the election machine and technology company, of illegally trying to throw the race to Joe Biden by programming its software to discard ballots for Trump.“The Dominion Software System has been tagged as one allegedly capable of flipping votes,” Pirro raged during a November 2020 taping of her show, citing Trump’s disgraced campaign attorney Sidney Powell’s bogus claims about the company.

(CNN) — When Marilyn Loden first used the phrase "glass ceiling" at a women's business conference in 1978, she didn't imagine it would become a familiar metaphor for the challenges to career advancement faced by women in the workforce."To be honest with you, I didn't think it was a big deal," Loden told the Washington Post in 2018, the 40th anniversary of the first time she used the term. "It made sense to me in the moment."She also didn't think at the time that women would continue to encounter those invisible obstacles after her death."I thought I would be finished with this by the end of my lifetime, but I won't be," she told the Post.

(CNN) -- At this point in the Covid-19 pandemic, much of the United States has slowly moved away from following or enforcing mitigation measures. Most public schools plan to keep masks optional this fall. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention no longer recommends staying at least 6 feet away from other people to reduce the risk of exposure.Among public health leaders, there has been growing division around this pivot, and that stems from frustration around how the pandemic has been managed in the United States, said Art Caplan, founding head of the division of medical ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine in New York."This is the most powerful division I can think of among mainstream public health people," Caplan said."By the way, it reinforces something else: It's a division based on ethics.

In recent years Matt Bernstein (@Mattxiv) has emerged as a leading figure in the LGBTQ+ community on social media for their alluring blog-like Instagram account they use to highlight issues of online misogyny, homophobia, and other types of bigotry.In early August, Bernstein used his page to call out content creator Andrew Tate, writing, “Andrew Tate is teaching young boys to be violent misogynists. It’s time for social media platforms to do something.” Included in their post were several examples of Tate’s behavior, including one video where he claims to prefer 18-year-old girls because they have “been through less dick” and “are easier to leave an imprint on.” In another video, Tate says he wouldn’t perform CPR on a man because he’s not gay.

There are plenty of ways to get fired, but this has to be the stupidest.A man was removed from a flight after reportedly bothering his seatmate, but not before he went on a homophobic and racist rant.

Guy Lodge Film Critic Gianni Amelio was in his late sixties when he came out as gay a few years ago. The announcement preceded the release of his documentary “Happy to Be Different,” which worked toward an overriding sunniness in contemplating the trials and challenges of being gay in Italy at various points in the 20th century. In turning to a gay-themed narrative project, Amelio narrows the focus and dims the mood: “Lord of the Ants” takes as its subject the gay Italian author Aldo Braibanti, and the social and legal opposition he faced over his sexuality in mid-1960s Rome. Solemn, stately and perhaps a little stifled, it’s the kind of queer statement you might expect from a veteran filmmaker who wasn’t until relatively recently out and proud, and is rather poignant for that.

"the lives of LGBTQIA+ persons and Black persons."In Texas, some students have formed book clubs specifically to read books that have been banned, with examples including Ashley Hope Pérez's Out of Darkness and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale according to The Texas Tribune.PEN America defines a book as being banned if it has been removed from school libraries or classrooms, or banned from circulation, as a result of either complaints or laws passed by legislatures.Under this definition the following books by Black authors have been banned from an Oklahoma school district:Books from white authors which deal with race and racism, such as Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird, are also included on the Oklahoma banned book list.Some of the works banned in Oklahoma deal with LBGTQ rights, with a particular focus on transgender issues.They include Jeff Garvin's Symptoms of Being Human, which deals with gender fluid adolescents coming of age, and George by Alex Gino, a novel focused on a transgender girl.Also on the PEN America banned list for Oklahoma schools were a number of modern classics, including Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.

On Friday it was revealed that federal agents seized 11 set of documents during its raid on former president Donald Trump‘s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago. The haul include materials marked as “classified/TS/SCI” documents — shorthand for “top secret/sensitive compartmented information.” Other documents were marked “secret” or “confidential.”After the Monday search, Trump blasted the action as, “a prosecutorial misconduct, the weaponization of the Justice System, and an attack by Radical Left Democrats who desperately don’t want me to run for President in 2024,” which is pretty wild considering at the time he was one of the few people who knew exactly what the FBI had discovered in his home.And all week, the former president’s allies parroted his lies, blasting the raid as sham.
