more than 79,000 community meetings between February and April to discuss some of the proposed changes, and amended some of its provisions based on community feedback, reports The Associated Press.Cuba’s National Assembly passed the revised code in July before sending it to the voters for final approval.While there are no independent observers of Cuban elections, Reuters reports that scattered local reports of district counts on social media appeared to align with official tallies. The approval of the code marks a significant shift with respect to both the government’s support for LGBTQ rights, and general attitudes towards homosexuality among Cubans.In the early 1960s, after former dictator Fidel Castro took power, many gay people were fired from their jobs and sent to labor camps known as Military Units to Aid Production, reports the Miami Herald.Although homosexuality was later legalized in 1979, many gay men and women reported experiencing discrimination in their daily lives.

Whitman-Walker Health, which provides medical as well as legal services for the D.C.-area LGBTQ community, was among 25 community-based organizations to receive a grant from the D.C. government earlier this month to provide legal support for immigrants.

As Archive Activists, we eagerly awaited this year’s opening of Republican campaign consultant Arthur J. Finkelstein’s papers at the Library of Congress. Donated by Finkelstein’s husband, evidently to cement the man’s political legacy, the Finkelstein papers are loaded with the ideas and words of his candidates who attacked homosexuals to court the voters who fear them. Finkelstein pioneered the slash-and-burn campaigns of the 1980s, working for clients including Sens. Jesse Helms (N.C.), Bob Smith (N.H.), Don Nickles (Okla.), and Lauch Faircloth (N.C.) — senators who formed the core opposition to gay and lesbian-related legislation in the day. We recall when Sen. Nickles, in 1998 the Senate’s second-ranking Republican, declared Ambassador James Hormel unqualified to be named an ambassador because anyone who promotes “immoral behavior” should not represent the U.S.

Of all the wild right-wing campaign stumpers out there, this Texan “prophet” might just take the (allegedly anointed) cake.Trump-loving Pennsylvania gubernatorial hopeful Doug Mastriano has brought Christ-shyster Lance Wallnau to help sell his candidacy, and it’s a partnership made in their particular version of heaven.As reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, this evangelist’s questionable record has it all: accusing the Women’s March of manifesting “the spirit of Jezebel”, hocking $45 “prayer coins” of Donald Trump‘s face with Jim Bakker, hailing Biden as the “antichrist”… we could go all day.Wallnau was the speaker at a recent Mastriano rally who notably led the audience in an uncomfortably familiar right-hand salute.He calls for a “new birth of liberty” to a crowd of raised arms:PA MAGA Gov nominee Doug Mastriano rally: “Put your right hand in the air … America will have a new birth of liberty.” pic.twitter.com/UfcLDNoJD4— Ron Filipkowski

The new series about one of America’s more notorious serial killers has stoked plenty of criticism.

Brent Lang Executive Editor “Bros” is another R-rated, envelope-pushing look at a man in a state of arrested development from Nicholas Stoller. It’s the kind of look at male neurosis, usually the kind of mania the pops up a decade shy of mid-life crisis time, that has been the director’s stock in trade in comedies like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek” and “Neighbors.” But this film has an important twist. It has an entirely LGBTQ cast and centers on two gay men with serious commitment issues — a stretch for Stoller, who is heterosexual. So he turned to Billy Eichner, who he knew from working together on “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” and “Friends From College,” to help him fashion an authentically queer “meet cute.” “Bros,” the culmination of a multi-year writing process that Stoller likens to therapy (“making a movie like this is a lot like ‘Prince of Tides,’ he says). When it debuts on Friday, “Bros” will make history as the first major studio LGBTQ rom-com to open exclusively in theaters.

A school board in Oregon heard complaints from district residents who objected to the hiring of a nonbinary teacher at a local elementary school.The Mail Tribune reported the unnamed teacher was hired to teach first graders at Griffin Creek Elementary School in Medford this year, but the school board has been inundated with concerns from residents who objected to the hiring.Medford School Board chair Suzanne Messer opened the meeting held earlier this month at North Medford High School by acknowledging the concerns of the parents while advising them district policy prevents discussion of specific teacher complaints at school board meetings.While residents did not reference the teacher by name directly, it was clear the teacher was the main topic of discussion for many in attendance.“Placing a nonbinary teacher into a first-grade class is in line with that policy only because it is vague,” said Tanner Fairrington, a district resident whose children are home-schooled. “First graders are very early in their development, and I believe that exposure to the complexity of preferred pronouns and gender roles is not appropriate for this age group.

Netflix has removed an LGBTQ tag from the new limited series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.It's unclear when, exactly, the streaming giant ditched the show's LGBTQ label or why Dahmer received it in the first place. But the real Dahmer long preyed upon the Milwaukee LGBTQ scene, and some critics have accused law enforcement of failing to act because of stigma surrounding victims' sexuality.Dahmer stars Evan Peters as the infamous serial killer who murdered at least 17 men and boys—many of whom were people of color—from 1978 to 1991.

Harry Styles described the central theme of his new film My Policeman as “wasted time”.The Michael Grandage-directed film (based on the novel by Bethan Roberts) sees Tom (Styles), a 1950s English policeman, enter into a love triangle with his lover, museum curator Patrick (David Dawson) and wife, schoolteacher Marion (Emma Corrin). Flashing forward to the 1990s, the trio (played by Linus Roache, Rupert Everett and Gina McKee, respectively) attempt to repair their interpersonal damage from 40 years prior.Styles attended the My Policeman premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last night (September 11).

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic English novelist E.M. Forster never married, and why would he? The author of “Maurice” and “Howards End” was gay, reportedly maintaining relations with a much-younger police officer over the span of four decades. That man did marry, and history has it that his wife knew their secret. In “My Policeman,” this unconventional arrangement lends itself quite nicely to one of those slightly stuffy yet respectable period pieces of the kind that Ismail Merchant and James Ivory have made of Forster’s novels, jumping back and forth in time between the sexy stuff (featuring Harry Styles, fully embracing the ambiguity of his queerbaiting brand) and the maudlin way it resolves itself so many years later.

Harry Styles attended the Toronto International Film Festival Sunday for the world premiere of his film, .

From the swoopy early-Bieber-esque hair and skinny jeans of the One Direction era to custom Gucci jumpsuits in every color of the rainbow, Harry Styles has gone through one of the most epic style evolutions this decade has seen. The English singer/actor has seemingly donned every look imaginable in the realm of nouveau glam rock, but he’s also been known to dabble in dandyish, fruitcore, and gender-fluid aesthetics.

Harry Styles, this summer’s pop prince, has earned his crown by capturing the fantasies of millions and taking what seems like a groundbreaking approach to the presentation of gender fluidity and sexual identity.While growing his kingdom and conquering pop culture, Mr. Styles has — with his last two album releases — also been accused of queerbaiting: In this case, using queerness to burnish his celebrity without explicitly claiming to be queer. Discussion of anyone’s identity, even a celebrity’s, is inherently fraught.
