FBI arrests Noor Salman, Orlando Pulse shooter’s widow, in San Francisco
The FBI has arrested Noor Salman, the widow of Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen. As you’ll recall, Mateen carried out what was (for now) the deadliest mass shooting in American history, murdering 49 people at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando last year.
We know little about his motives except that he wanted a lot LGBTQ people dead; During the attack, he claimed solidarity with ISIS, but the FBI also said there’s no evidence he actually had contact with the group.
The shooting was used by Republicans and Donald Trump to stoke xenophobia towards immigrants — even though the shooter and Salman were both born and raised in America. (They’re the descendants of immigrants, but so is just about every single person in the country.)
Now the FBI seems to have learned something that the rest of us don’t yet know because early Monday it arrested Salman at her home near San Francisco. She’s been charged with obstructing the investigation and also providing material support for the shooting. She’ll face a hearing in federal court on Tuesday.
Previously, she claimed that she had no idea what her husband was planning even though she visited Pulse before the shooting with Mateen. According to officials, her story’s been inconsistent; and now apparently they believe they’ve learned enough to charge her with abetting the horrific crime.
For now, however, the tragedy remains as senseless as ever.

AMERICA’S FIRST PROJECT. Breitbart alumni launch ‘Populist-Nationalist’ group: “Howley and other Breitbart News alumni are starting their own group designed to enforce Trump’s agenda, combined with a planned media arm. So far, the group, which they are calling the America First Project, has surfaced in the press for trying to unseat the current chairman of the Florida Republican Party, who is seen by some Trump allies as having been untrustworthy during the election.”

SHE’S OUT. Monica Crowley withdraws from Trump appointment over plagiarism: “The move comes after CNN’s KFile uncovered multiple instances of plagiarism in her 2012 book, her columns for the Washington Times, and her 2000 Ph.D. dissertation for Columbia University.

DEPLORABLES. Milo Yiannopoulos and Martin Shkreli event shut down by protesters: “Yiannopoulos, editor of the right-wing website Breitbart News, and Shkreli, a former pharmaceutical executive charged with securities fraud, were supposed to speak Friday at the University of California at Davis at an event hosted by the Davis College Republicans, a student-run group. But the university visit, which Breitbart promoted by using #SHKRELOPOULOS, was abruptly canceled after a mass of protesters opposing Yiannopoulos’s appearance on campus showed up outside the building where it was supposed to take place.”
NEW JERSEY. Church dedicates replacement Gay Pride flag: “From the moment we announced on Facebook that the flag had been stolen there was an immediate outpouring from the community with more than 100 messages urging the church to put up a new flag and not be intimidated.”

Bi guys in opposite-sex relationships talk about desire for men
In a new Reddit thread, a bi guy who is married to a woman asks his fellow bisexual brethren how they get cope with their homosexual urges.
“I’m a hetero-leaning bisexual man in an opposite-sex relationship,” the post begins. “Most of my sexual urges are currently for women, but I’m aware of some desires for men. They’re not strong enough for me to want an open relationship, and my main sexual priority is my love life with my wife. But my fantasies and porn consumption cover the full Kinsey scale. That’s about all I need to scratch my ‘homo itch.’”

The man continues: “I know that most bi guys are in opposite-sex relationships. But I’m curious about those who are in same-sex relationships — how do they scratch their “hetero itch?” Watch straight porn (there are a surprising number of gay-identified men who do)? Arrange for the occasional threesome? Get a Fleshlight? Just ogle women?”
Now, let’s dig into some of the responses.
For one guy, it’s all about porn consumption:
I’m a bi guy married to a man. There are definitely times when I want nothing more than to fuck a girl, but we are monogamous and that’s what works for us. But to help me ‘scratch the itch’ as you put it, I watch straight porn and solo girl porn. Also I have a fleshlight. … I admit it’s tough, and it can be a little frustrating sometimes, but I love my husband and we just don’t think poly would work for us. We have been together for 12 years now and I had girlfriends and boyfriends before him on and off.
For another, it’s about not indulging in fantasies:
If I tell my husband that I had a straight sex dream, or that I feel like having sex with a woman today, he’s like “challenge accepted!” Seriously though, fluidity has been a serious problem in all my relationships except this one, and I attribute this, in part, to my not looking at any straight porn. Sometimes I see a pretty lady or start looking at bi porn and think “Nope! Avert your eyes!”

One guy uses dating apps:
Ugh, it’s not easy, compared to men hahahah. I’ve had great luck with the website fetlife.com. Lots of women, the site is specificity about sex and the kink community, so open relationships, bisexuality and such is “small potatoes” to these people. I also say it right out on my tinder “in an open relationship, looking for good meaningful hookups with people whom I connect with.” Be upfront, have it advertised, let them make their own choices, you’ll be surprised how many match with you.
And for another, it’s all about creating a open relationship that works for everyone:
I’m in a polyamorous relationship with strict boundaries. We all have to agree before someone decides to date someone else. They have to be known clean for STI’s and have known them long enough to be trustworthy. Our gf has a bf and a gf. My bf has a gf. And we are always upfront about how we feel.
