Wear Your Pride

Wear your pride on your sleeve, you never know who may be watching.
Over the last few months I’ve been overwhelmed with emotion over hate crimes against the queer community. In Portland, a beloved hair stylist and active member of many communities was stabbed and killed in a gay hate crime, he was followed from his work just 3 blocks from my home. In Russia hundreds of oppressed individuals who are “suspected” to be gay are being murdered by family members or thrown in concentration camps to be tortured and killed, supported by the government that’s supposed to protect them. These are just a few current attacks on our community. Nothing can undo these atrocities.
I believe those spirits deserve to live on through those of us who experience some levels of freedom. The only response I know is to be more proud of who I am, more vocal to those around me, and to create more beauty to combat the hatred. Only through personally bridging the gap between misunderstanding and acceptance can we hope to change minds of those who are blinded by hateful rhetoric that has been passed on through generations.
In loving memory of Jakob Jay and the victims in Russia.

Rami Malek is ‘terrified’ of playing Freddie Mercury in the Queen biopic
These are some big shoes and high notes to fill.
James Murdoch, Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Melissa Mark Viverito, Justin Bieber, Log Cabin Republicans: HOT LINKS
LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS. Gay GOP group’s event to take place at Trump Hotel: “Our desired original venue was unable to accommodate us on any of our desired dates,” Gregory T. Angelo, the group’s president, told TheWrap, adding that “the Trump Hotel gave us a very competitive deal.”

JAMES MURDOCH. 21st Century Fox CEO donates $1 million to Anti-Defamation League, denounces Trump in email: “These events remind us all why vigilance against hate and bigotry is an eternal obligation — a necessary discipline for the preservation of our way of life and our ideals. The presence of hate in our society was appallingly laid bare as we watched swastikas brandished on the streets of Charlottesville and acts of brutal terrorism and violence perpetrated by a racist mob. I can’t even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis.”
BIRTHDAY SONG. Madonna forgets the lyrics to her own song.
RAMI MALEK. On playing Freddie Mercury and the iconic rock group Queen: “It’s a phenomenal experience. They’re a talented bunch of dudes and I am terrified.”
BOTH SIDES. Democratic group runs scathing ad on Trump. “A top Democratic-aligned group released a 30-second digital video ad and a nearly 50-page report on the supposed links between white nationalists and President Donald Trump’s administration. Bridge Project, the non-profit research arm of Democratic-aligned super PAC American Bridge, released a report called “Uniting The Right: The Trump Administration And White Supremacy,” which lays out instances in which members of Trump’s administration took actions that made them, according to the group, ‘white supremacist sympathizers.’”
TOME. CNN unveils enormous book of Trump tweets:
NYC. Man threatened to rape City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and kill her family along with gay and lesbian police officers: ‘Silvera also was allegedly behind threatening e-mails sent to two police officers, who served in LGBT outreach positions, on the same day at roughly the same time. Those e-mails threatened to “kill every gay and lesbian police officer,” according to the complaint.’
HOLLYWOOD. And 2017’s highest paid actress is…
NEW YORK. Stonewall Democrats withdraw support for Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez after he supports homophobe Ruben Diaz: ‘The club, which organized a special meeting Thursday evening, shortly after the councilman’s endorsement became public earlier in the week, said in a statement that although Rodriguez has historically been a friend of the club, he “misrepresented his position on supporting candidates who work against LGBT equality in his questionnaire, and that his support for Diaz Sr. was unacceptable.’
