Apologies for the light posting the last couple of days. At Towleroad HQ out here on Cape Cod we lost power for nearly 15 hours over the past two days because of yesterday’s Nor’Easter.

FBI. Office of Professional Responsibility recommends firing of Andrew McCabe: “The FBI office that handles employee discipline has recommended firing the bureau’s former deputy director over allegations that he authorized the disclosure of sensitive information to a reporter and misled investigators when asked about it — though Justice Department officials are still reviewing the matter and have not come to a final decision, a person familiar with the case said…McCabe was hoping to retire in just days, when he becomes eligible for his full benefits.”
CONSPIRACY THEORIES. YouTube turns to Wikipedia to help dubunk conspiracy theory videos.
THE CROWN. Matt Smith got paid more than, Claire Foy, who played the Queen.
BACK AT IT. Madonna to direct movie based on ballet dancer Michaela Deprince’s memoir Taking Flight: From War Orphan to Star Ballerina: “The plot centers around Deprince, who spent her childhood as an orphan in war-torn Sierra Leone, only to be adopted and taken to the United States, where she later rose to prominence as a world-famous ballerina. The film’s screenplay will be adapted by Camilla Blackett, known for her work on the television shows Fresh Off the Boat and New Girl.

He started saying it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Adam, and said gays were disgusting. When the passengers got off he said to one of them ‘I’m going to Pride now and I’ve got a bomb in my backpack’. He directed these comments principally because of people’s sexual orientation.”
ALAN HOLLINGHURST. The evolution of one of fiction’s gay liberators. And also, from NPR:
TENNESSEE. Gay couple to sue after their photo is used in a political attack ad: “Their wedding was officiated by a candidate for state senate, but the couple says they didn’t sign up to be caught in the mudslinging.

The Resistance Reclaims Its Time at the HRC Los Angeles Dinner
The Resistance Reclaims Its Time at the HRC Los Angeles Dinner
The HRC Los Angeles Dinner brought together more than 1,000 of HRC’s most active members and supporters in California to raise crucial funds in the fight for LGBTQ equality. On March 10, the greater Los Angeles area re-committed itself to the fight for equality with a night of incredible guests at the JW Marriott L.A. LIVE.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-California) delivered a fiery speech just hours after Donald Trump launched a fusillade of disgusting attacks during a Saturday campaign rally, proving why she is a fierce leader of the resistance.
Waters is considered by many to be one of the most powerful women in American politics today. She has gained a reputation as a fearless and outspoken advocate for women, children, people of color, and the poor. Elected in November 2016 to her fourteenth term in the U.S. House of Representatives with more than 76 percent of the vote in the 43rd Congressional District of California, Congresswoman Waters represents a large part of South Central Los Angeles.
“We are counting on all of you to show up during the 2018 midterms and vote for people who will restore this democracy and uphold everything that we have fought for to advance #LGBTQ equality,” Waters said.
2017 HRC Visibility Award recipient Gus Kenworthy passed the torch to fellow out gay Olympian Adam Rippon, honored by HRC for his trailblazing visibility at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Adam Rippon made history as the first openly gay U.S. American male figure skater to compete in the Olympic games. Rippon publicly sparred with Mike Pence in the press and on social media, bringing a new focus on Pence’s long anti-LGBTQ record. Rippon publicly voiced his concern over Pence leading the diverse U.S. delegation to the Olympics.
“To all the young kids out there: You are smarter than you think. You hold more strength than you may ever know. You are powerful,” Rippon said.
Other special guests at the event included Teri Polo and Sherri Saum from ABC Family’s “The Fosters,” Josh Duhamel from “Love, Simon” and many more. HRC-backed U.S. Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona also spoke and Grammy Award-winning rock band Portugal. The Man performed.
