Orlando Magic Unveils Tribute to Pulse Nightclub Victims at Opening Game
Orlando Magic Unveils Tribute to Pulse Nightclub Victims at Opening Game
The Orlando Magic unveiled a tribute to the 49 victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre on the franchise’s opening night. A permanent banner reading “Orlando United 49” and emblazoned on the back with the names of each victim will hang in Amway Center, CNN reports:
“On June 12, 2016, our world changed forever. Forty-nine of our family, friends and neighbors were taken from us too soon, with more than 50 others injured in a horrific tragedy at Pulse,” said the NBA team’s announcer, Paul Porter….
“Tonight, we honored their lives, the heroes who emerged early that morning and a healing community that showed the world that love always conquers hate.”
Watch:
Our Opening Night is dedicated to the Pulse victims. Please join us in a moment of silence. #OrlandoUnited pic.twitter.com/Ta0g2TUXqO

This was not a one-night commitment for the Magic, who have contributed both money and staff resources to the ongoing healing process and plan to continue. In addition to the banner, the team aired a video in tribute and invited singer Brandon Parsons — who composed a song called “Forty-Nine Times” — to perform pregame.
Parsons’ song included this phrase: “Takes more than just a gun, more than you to tear us down, so let your colors fly free.”

The San Francisco Transgender Film Festival returns November
The San Francisco Transgender Film Festival returns November

Founded in 1997, the San Francisco Transgender Festival (SFTFF) continues its legacy of featuring programming that transforms culture, supports trans filmmakers, builds community, and educates audiences about transgender identities, histories, cultures, and experiences.
The festival kicks off for its 15th year anniversary on Thursday, November 10 at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco and runs through Sunday, November 13 with a lineup that includes award-winning features, short films, and special Q&As with transgender filmmakers.
The full festival lineup and schedule can be found at SFTFF.org.
With a special opening night feature film screening of FREE CeCe!–the acclaimed documentary executive produced by Laverne Cox and directed by Jac Gares about CeCe McDonald, a trans woman who was brutally attacked while defending her life and incarcerated in a men’s prison–the film that explores the role race, class, and gender payed in CeCe’s case sees her emerge not just as a survivor but as a leader, and sets the tone for the exceptional programming to follow.
GLAAD interviewed Shawna Virago, the Artistic Director, of SFTFF to find out about the significance of film festivals centering trans voices, how the festival has changed over the years, and what the future holds for film festivals like it.
GLAAD: How did the San Francisco Transgender Film Festival come about?
Shawna Virago: We organized our initial festival for the same reason so many other marginalized communities have organized film festivals: the absence of authentic representations of our lives in the commercial media.
G: Why are film festivals like this so important?
SV: I think festivals like ours have significant community impact because they bring together diverse transgender communities and allow transgender and gender non-conforming media artists to screen their films in front of supportive audiences.
G: More generally, why are films centered around trans stories and centering trans voices so important?
SV: Like many within the LGBTQ community, we are rarely in the driver’s seat of completely getting to produce content that authentically reflects the diversity of who we are. The San Francisco Transgender Film Festival provides a powerful counter-narrative to the increasingly assimilationist world of transgender reality stars and celebrities. Hollywood still gets it wrong – very wrong. The festival provides people with an opportunity to come see trans people telling our OWN stories, with trans characters played by TRANS actors.
G: How has the festival changed over the years?
SV: When I think back to when we started, I could never have imagined the public scope transgender issues are receiving. There seem to be two parallel tracks: one track seems to be transgender and non-binary filmmakers who are telling authentic and sometimes experimental stories, while the other track, which is mainstream media, is still being narrow when it shows transgender experience — there is no place or presence of experimental transgender stories. That’s what makes the San Francisco Transgender Film Festival such a sacred and special place.
G: Being Artistic Director since 2003, do you personally have a most memorable moment from the festival?
SV: I have so many favorites. Every year is a glorious, affirming and chaotic adventure. But one of the most was screening the world premiere of MAJOR! – a feature-length documentary profiling the life and remarkable activism of Stonewall veteran, trans woman Miss Major Griffen-Gracy, who has been advocating for the rights of transgender women of color for over 40 years. It was inspiring to honor this champion of transgender rights. This film was made by Annalise Ophelian and StormMiguel Florez.
G: What can people look forward to this year about the event?
SV: This year we have two feature films I’m very proud to be screening: The groundbreaking documentary FREE CeCe! – directed by Jac Gares. The film is about CeCe McDonald who was viciously attacked, defended herself, and found herself incarcerated in a Minnesota men’s prison. The film was produced by Laverne Cox and looks at the intersections of race and gender.
We’re also proud to present Nakom – an intimate narrative feature from northern Ghana. Nakom premiered at the 2016 Berlinale, marking two historic firsts – the first fiction feature from Ghana ever to play that festival, and the first feature directed by a transgender woman ever to play the festival. Nakom is directed by TW Pittman, a trans woman of color and San Francisco-native, and co-directed with her longtime collaborator Kelly Daniela Norris.
G: What do you think the next fifteen years will look like for SFTFF?
SV: More love, more wrinkles, and keeping the flame alive for alternative filmmaking.
Purchase your tickets here and celebrate a milestone year with the SFTFF family.

Cohen proudly recounts that one crazy time Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos strongly encouraged him to sleep with a “beautifully blonde” lady, as well as her equally gorgeous husband — “a muscular, tanned mechanic.”
Allegedly Ripa said, “Jake’s very handsome and Angela is beautiful and I am very happy for you.”

‘Will & Grace’ May Return with a New Season on Netflix – REPORT
‘Will & Grace’ May Return with a New Season on Netflix – REPORT
Talks are reportedly underway to explore whether iconic gay sitcom Will & Grace could return for a limited series run.
Rumors of a revival first circulated when the original four cast members reunited for an election special to encourage voter turnout. That mini-sode/PSA, released on the date of the first presidential debate, has been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube.
The show’s stars are reportedly open to the idea of a reunion, but negotiations are still nascent.
Netflix is seen as being a likely partner for the former NBC smash.
Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva reports:
Sources caution that there are no deals in place, the sides are currently far apart and there are a lot of hurdles that make mounting a Will & Grace return a daunting task, but at least there is a will to pursue it. Producing studio Universal TV needs to secure stars Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes as well as creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan. I hear the idea is to do a one-off 10-episode installment. NBC and Uni TV had no comment.
While NBC, the series’ original network, is a possibility, I hear a streaming player, like Netflix, is considered more likely. While I’d heard Netflix’s name mentioned as a potential partner, I hear there haven’t been formal conversations with the Internet network, which has successfully rebooted several beloved series including Arrested Development, Full House and Gilmore Girls, returning with four movies.
ICYMI, watch the Will & Grace reunion, below.

Anderson Cooper Lays Into Gingrich’s “Sex Fascination” Hypocrisy
Anderson Cooper Lays Into Gingrich’s “Sex Fascination” Hypocrisy
Donald Trump surrogate and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich recently appeared on Megyn Kelly‘s show “The Kelly File” in an explosive segment where he accused her of being “fascinated with sex” for covering the sexual assault allegations against the Republican nominee for president.
Kelly shot back that she wasn’t fascinated by sex, but rather with the protection of women and ended the segment by telling Gingrich to work on his anger problems.
Anderson Cooper has weighed in on the exchange, calling out the irony of Gingrich accusing Kelly of being obsessed with the topic.
“For Newt Gingrich to accuse Megyn Kelly of being fascinated by sex, I mean this is the guy who is on his, what, third marriage, cheated on his first two wives and was having an affair when he was impeaching Bill Clinton,” Cooper pointed out to Trump supporter Scottie Hughes.
Hughes passed the entire exchange as being little more than the result of passions at the end of an election campaign. Cooper pressed the issue.
“For a male like him, with his record on relationships, to accuse Megyn Kelly of being fascinated by sex just seems particularly ironic,” he said.
“I think the word you were looking for is hypocritical,” said Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist who is not supporting Trump for president.
“That would be another word,” Cooper agreed.
“Yes, that would be another word,” Navarro said. “Now let’s remember that Newt Gingrich’s [ex] wife [Marianne Gingrich], when he was running in 2012, told all of us, told the media, said it in public, said it to a camera, that Newt Gingrich had offered her the choice between an open marriage or a divorce. So maybe, just maybe, just maybe if all of that baggage is on your shoulders, maybe you shouldn’t be the surrogate out there wagging your finger…”
She also pointed out that Kelly was reporting on sexual assault, not on sex.
“Let me explain it slowly,” Navarro said. “Sexual assault and sex are two different things. One is unwanted, one is wanted. So maybe they need to understand that to begin with.”
Watch below.
Later in the panel discussion Navarro played an air violin for Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany when she complained that she wasn’t being listened to because she is a millennial.
“Let me play my old, ancient Stradivarius for you,” she said.
McEnany argued that the American voters are uninterested in the topic of the sexual assault allegations against Trump, minimizing them as “kissing allegations” in a conversation with Lisa Bloom, an attorney for a woman who sued him for harassment in 1997.
“We are talking about sexual assault, we are not talking about sex,” Bloom said, making a similar argument to Navarro’s.
McEnany tried to pivot to the accusations against Bill Clinton, which proved unfruitful.
“You obviously don’t know my record,” Bloom replied. “Because I called for Bill Clinton to resign in the 1990s based on his allegations. Bill Clinton is not running for office any more than Melania Trump is running for office.”

Hillary Clinton Says Marriage Equality, LGBT Rights are at Stake in this Election – WATCH
Campaigning with First Lady Michelle Obama in North Carolina on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton urged voters to understand that marriage equality and LGBT rights are at stake in this election.
Clinton called on North Carolinians to un-seat Governor Pat McCrory and elect in his stead Attorney General Roy Cooper. McCrory infamous signed North Carolina’ anti-LGBT ‘bathroom bill’ into law and continues to defend it despite widespread condemnation from civil rights groups and the business community. Cooper on the other hand has vowed to repeal HB 2 if elected.
Said Clinton, “Let’s be sure to elect Roy Cooper the next governor of North Carolina.”
“He will repeal HB2,” Clinton added, “Because he knows that discrimination is wrong. it’s bad for business and it’s against North Carolina’s values.”
Clinton also made a veiled reference to Donald Trump’s support of anti-equality justices and his coziness with the anti-LGBT religious right.
“Marriage equality is at stake too” in this election, Clinton said.
“If you believe everyone deserves to be treated equally in America no matter who they are or who they love, then you’ve got to turn out and vote in this election,” she insisted.
Watch below. The video begins with Clinton’s remarks about Cooper and you can watch her comments on marriage equality at the 43:32 mark.
