turned violent for the second year in a row, and instead of arresting the Proud Boys who started the fray, police shot into the crowd of protestors with pepper balls and beanbags.The event was held outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic and the group of far-right militia members and hate preachers was vastly outnumbered by counter protestors.

So the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) happened last night.

(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.

Sunday was an incredible day for out singer Dove Cameron. Not only did she perform an incredible and moving medley of her hit singles “Boyfriend” and “Breakfast” during the MTV VMAs but she also took home the award for best new artist at the awards ceremony.It was a tough category as Cameron was up against K-pop group Seventeen and Eurovision winner Måneskin, the latter of which made major waves last year when the duo, Damiano David and Thomas Raggi, shared a passionate kiss on stage in support of LGBTQ+ rights in their home country of Poland.Cameron, a queer artist herself, used the opportunity (and the literal stage) to give love to the other artists in her category, whom she “worships,” but most of all she wanted to take the time to dedicate her win to queer kids everywhere.“I want to dedicate this to all the queer kids out there who don’t feel that they can take up space and inhabit the fullness of who they are,” Cameron began, receiving cheers from the audience.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released some updated data on Friday regarding the transmission and prevention of the monkepox virus, or MPV. We already know that the 2022 MPV outbreak is primarily associated with sexual and intimate contact — although it is not technically considered an STI (sexually transmitted infection) since it is still possible to spread through non-sexual contact. We also know that, according to recent data from the CDC, "gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) who have been disproportionately affected by MPV are reducing one-time partnerships."This latest study released by the CDC indicates that one-time partnerships, which account for about 3 percent of daily sexual partnerships and 16 percent of daily sex acts, account for approximately 50 percent of daily MPV transmission.
