LAMBDA LEGAL. Jon Davidson to step down: “Davidson is now deciding what to do in the next stage of his remarkable life, as he celebrates 13 years with Syd Peterson. But it is imperative that we not forget all the experience, the institutional knowledge, the inspiration, and the out-of-the-box thinking that Davidson has contributed to the LGBT community for so many years. If he’s no longer a fit for Lambda Legal, where might he land? Because this gay dude ain’t done yet!”

9 Hilariously Depressing Analogies For Theresa May’s Brexit Deal
9 Hilariously Depressing Analogies For Theresa May’s Brexit Deal
You may well have noticed that something rather big happened today – that’s right, a YouTube prankster cemented his head inside a microwave.
There was also another important story that may have just edged it in the “most read” stakes – but only just.
Tough competition for the top story on the BBC News website#BrexitDeal pic.twitter.com/jSyLpLyOM4
on a deal which allows the Brexit talks to move on to trade negotiations.
So we are to stay aligned to both single market and custom union rules but have no say in future rule changes nor representation in the European Parliament. So surely it would make sense just to stay in both? #BrexitDeal

Remarkably, the deal appears to have united both Leavers and Remainers albeit in a unified chorus of displeasure at the PM’s negotiation skills.
Scanning Twitter reaction to the #brexitdeal – although neither Leavers nor Remainers are happy with it – it’s seems to be the Leavers who are the most unhappy with it.

Farage campaigned for Britain to no longer be under EU regulation and achieved not only to still be under those regulations but removed our ability to influence them and made us pay more for the privilege. And put himself out of a job. Truly a political giant. #BrexitDeal pic.twitter.com/6FcORuvvYn

Regardless, one bright spot of the day was the flood of imaginative analogies for the day’s events.
That time that drunk idiot climbed out of the club window, wearing Union Jack shorts, and then queued for two years, argued with the doormen and then paid to get back in – just to sit almost where he was before. Then vomited on his shoes. #BrexitDeal

See #TheresaMay has decided to take the student approach towards deadlines, leave it till near the deadline and pull an all nighter and compromise on quality due to running out of time. Wonder if she had a bottle of monster to keep her going #BrexitDeal

A deal has been reached between the European Union and the United Kingdom on phase one of the Brexit talks.
The European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker revealed early on Friday morning that “sufficient progress” has now been made.
This opens the way for negotiations on the future trade relationship between the UK and EU to begin.
Theresa May said the deal makes sure there will be “no hard border” between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
The prime minister said the rights of EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU will be protected
A financial settlement will be paid by the UK to the EU which is “fair to the British taxpayer”, May said.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said she was now satisfied there would now be “no red line down the Irish Sea” separating Northern Ireland from Great Britain.
May will personally guarantee to the people of Ulster six promises, including leaving the EU customs union and single market and upholding the Good Friday Agreement peace deal

Gay Man Running Against Kim Davis Says He’s Not Out for Revenge: ‘This Isn’t a Grudge’ – WATCH
David Ermold, who announced this week that he’s running for the job held by Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who denied him a marriage license, says he’s not out for revenge.
Ermold had to come face-to-face with Davis when he filled out his paperwork to run for office and told TMZ he was “kind of surprised” to see her there because her son generally handles all the election filing papers.
Ermold says that he doesn’t hold a grudge and he’s not running out of revenge: “She’s a person and she’s a part of our community. So I don’t hold grudges. This isn’t a grudge and I don’t want it out there like that because this isn’t what this is.”
