‘Will & Grace’ may end with this devilishly handsome returning love interest
Looks like Will Truman may get his happily-ever-after. Matt Bomer, who plays “America’s hottest gay news anchor” McCoy Whitman on Will & Grace, will return for the 11th and final season of the NBC sitcom, TheWrap reports.

The Magic Mike actor has appeared in four episodes so far, starting in Season 10, when Will (Eric McCormack) played dumb to woo him. Once the guys got past the games, though, they started dating in earnest, and Will asked McCoy to marry him in the season finale.
Also returning for Season 11 are Blythe Danner, who has played Will’s mom throughout the series, and Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bayer, who guest-starred in Season 10 as a Trump-hating bakery owner.

Meanwhile, Bomer is also starring in the DC Universe series Doom Patrol, playing gay superhero Larry Trainor a.k.a. Negative Man, and he’ll star in the third season of USA’s The Sinner.
Plus, you’ll see him on Netflix soon: Ryan Murphy is bringing a film adaptation of the Broadway play The Boys in the Band to the streaming service. The actor previously collaborated with Murphy on Glee, American Horror Story, and The Normal Heart. There’s no such thing as too much Matt Bomer, though!
HRC Endorses Senator Tina Smith for Reelection
HRC announced its endorsement of Sen. Tina Smith for reelection.
This endorsement marks HRC’s first Senate endorsement of the 2020 cycle and underscores both the importance of reelecting Sen. Smith and preventing known anti-LGBTQ extremist Rep. Jason Lewis from bringing his harmful views to the Senate. Sen. Tina Smith has been a steadfast ally for the LGBTQ community throughout her history in public service. Just one week after joining the Senate in 2018, Smith signed on as a co-sponsor of the Equality Act, crucial federal legislation that would finally guarantee explicit, permanent protections for LGBTQ people under our nation’s existing civil rights laws. Prior to joining the Senate, Smith was integral in the push for statewide marriage equality in 2013 and helped pass anti-bullying legislation. In Minnesota, HRC has identified more than 600,000 voters as likely “Equality Voters,” meaning they are strong supporters of progressive LGBTQ policies including marriage equality, equitable family law, and laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
“Senator Tina Smith has been one of our community’s most ardent advocates in the United States Senate, and we’re proud to stand by her side as she runs for reelection,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “From co-sponsoring the Equality Act to pushing for marriage equality in Minnesota, Senator Smith’s long history of support for LGBTQ families stands in stark contrast with Jason Lewis, who compared LGBTQ people to rapists and criminals. The Human Rights Campaign is committed to mobilizing the more than 600,000 Equality Voters across Minnesota to send Tina Smith back to the U.S. Senate to continue our work moving equality forward for all Americans.”
“I’m proud to work alongside the Human Rights Campaign – a leader in the continued fight for LGBTQ+ equality – and honored to have their support,” said Senator Tina Smith. “Congress must pass the Equality Act and ensure that LGBTQ+ Americans are protected in the workplace, in school, at home or wherever they are in the public sphere. It’s time for the Senate to take action. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and I look forward to continuing to work with the Human Rights Campaign to pass these critical protections for LGBTQ+ Americans.”
Throughout his time in Congress, Rep. Jason Lewis never earned more than a 0 on HRC’s Congressional Scorecard. But his time before he entered Congress is even more troubling. While a radio host in Minnesota, Rep. Jason Lewis spewed horrifically anti-LGBTQ extremist language and opinions. He compared LGBTQ people to rapists, criminals, and polygamists. He also alleged that same-sex parents were potentially harming their children by identifying as LGBTQ. In a move of poetic justice, Lewis was ousted by LGBTQ mother, HRC-endorsed now-Rep. Angie Craig.

Gay Pub Owner Patiently Fends Off Drunk Homophobe During Epic 4-Minute Tirade: WATCH
Ryan Carrington, the gay owner of the Black Friar Pub in Newcastle-under-Lyme, UK, went viral last week after fending off a drunk woman who was berating him with homophobic slurs in a video posted to social media. The woman was later arrested.
The woman called Carrington a “f**king faggot” among other things, and responded to the homophobe, “I’ve been insulted by better than you darling, by people with far more intelligence.”
Said Carrington, who was verbally and physically assaulted by the woman: “This video that someone took was only a fraction of what happened, the reality of what went on was a lot longer. Being a publican I am well aware of the cameras and have to act accordingly, yes my patience was tested, but you have to think of ‘pity’ for this woman. I doubt it’s the life she would have chosen if she had a choice! Let’s not condemn her, let’s try to help and educate, far more rewarding.”

Gay men on Grindr & Instagram are being targeted by this adult video scam
The gay adult industry blog The Sword recently reported (link NSFW) that men on Grindr and Instagram are being targeted by a scam in which men claiming to be agents the decades-old gay adult studio Falcon offer guys $2,500 to $3,000 to appear in a skin flick. The only catch is that the aspiring performers have to pay a $350 to over $1,000 “company” or “contract fee” in order to secure their performance slots.

This entire setup is a scam. Falcon Studios never asks prospective performers to pay them to appear in films, and any studio that does ask that of performers should be immediately suspected of being sketchy as fugg.
One “Falcon” email sent by a scammer reads (note the bad English):
Greetings!
We just received your deposit for the film slot reservation but we would like to inform you there is a contract fee that will cost you $475 for you to be able to continue with the shoot. We are very strict now in terms if filing for the assurance of the company. Our model (name redacted) is not informed about this since this was mandated last 2 days. The fault is with us. Since it is our negligence, we will add a 10% of the the total salary to your income ($350) as a way of refund.
Falcon Studios Group President Tim Valenti said, “We feel for anyone who has been scammed out of money to appear in our movies and hope we can raise awareness about this so nobody else is deceived or exploited.”
Most gay adult studios encourage interested guys to apply for shoots via their official websites. So if someone hits you up trying to recruit you for an adult studio online, get screenshots and (if you feel safe) report it to local police.
And then, if you really wanna fool around with guys on camera, go contact the studios directly through their websites. Or you can always contact the studios with screenshots to ask them if the emails are legit. Both of those methods are easier, safer and will keep more money in your wallet, all you aspiring adult actors out there!
