Thousands demand civil rights for gay people: 1979

More than 75,000 people from around the U.S. gather at a rally on the Mall near the Washington Monument Grounds October 14, 1979 calling for civil rights for gays and lesbians.

The march specifically demanded “an end to all social, economic, judicial and legal oppression of lesbian and gay people.”

The marchers called on Congress to amend the civil rights acts to protect lesbian and gay people against discrimination. They also hoped President Jimmy Carter would sign an executive order banning discrimination in the military and civil services and among government contractors.

Among the highlights of the demonstration were a 100-piece Great American Yankee (GAY) Freedom Band from Los Angeles and an 80 member gay chorus.

A small counter-demonstration of right wing Christian preachers led by Rev. Jerry Falwell branded the group sinners. Falwell asked the Lord to “deliver them from their lives of perversion.”

“God did not create Adam and Steve, but Adam and Eve,” said Falwell. He likened gay people to “bank robbers, thieves and other sinners.”

Instagram will start hiding ‘likes’ soon — here’s what to expect

Instagram will start hiding ‘likes’ soon — here’s what to expect

There’s an old proverb that goes…If an Instagram influencer posts a shirtless selfie and nobody can see how many likes it racked up, did it ever really happen?

After testing out removing like counts in several countries including Canada and Australia, the Facebook-owned platform is set to begin rolling back the feature in the US this week.

It’s a major shift that proponents argue will help combat the competitive and sometimes toxic environment users experience on the app.

But there are just as many if not more people who aren’t so thrilled with the change. Like counts have become a standard metric that businesses and celebrities use to measure success on Instagram. And for professional influencers, high like counts help get the attention of brands, which in turn leads to revenue.

Here’s what to expect as Instagram begins testing.

  • The change won’t affect everyone all at once. Some users (and that group is not clearly defined) will begin seeing like counts vanish this week.
  • Affected users will still be able to see how many likes their own posts receive, but followers will not.
  • Users will likely see a message from Instagram pop up when their account is affected. In other countries, it’s read something like:
    “Testing a change to how you see likes — We want your followers to focus on what you share, not how many likes your posts get. During this test, only you will be able to see the total number of likes on your posts.”
  • You will still be able to like posts and videos.
  • When someone you follow has liked a photo you’re viewing, it will say underneath the photo: “[Name of user] and others”. Clicking that link will bring up a list of people who have liked the post, but not a total like count.

The change already has some high-profile critics. Nicki Minaj said she’d stop using the app if likes are removed for good, and Cardi B has pointed out that the real problem isn’t likes, it’s the culture of harassment in comments sections.

Do you think it’s a good move to do away with like counts? Sound off below…

MITCH MCCONNELL. Kentucky is going to have a Democratic governor: “I’m sorry Matt came up short, but he had a good four years and all indications are, barring some dramatic reversal on the recanvass, we’ll have a different governor in three weeks,” McConnell said.

MADAME X-ED. Fan sues Madonna for starting her concerts too late.

MICHAEL BLOOMBERG. Billionaire former NYC mayor and potential 2020 candidate urged to buy FOX News.

Seriously, that would be the greatest thing that he could do for the country. t.co/rfePFF9Eha

EATING THEIR OWN. John Bolton rejects legal alliance with Mick Mulvaney: “Mr. Bolton’s lawyer argued in court papers that Mr. Mulvaney should not be allowed to jump into the existing lawsuit as a plaintiff because his interests are significantly different. But the legal schism underscored a broader rift between Mr. Mulvaney, who facilitated Mr. Trump’s effort to pressure Ukraine for damaging information about Democrats, and Mr. Bolton, who tried to resist it.”

RICK PERRY. Energy Secretary arranged lucrative gas deal for two political supporters.

2020. Amy Klobuchar says a woman with the same experience as Pete Buttigieg would not make it to the debate stage. “Of the women on the stage — I’m focusing here on my fellow women senators, Senator Harris, Senator Warren and myself — do I think that we would be standing on that stage if we had the experience that he had? No, I don’t. Maybe we’re held to a different standard.”

LEV PARNAS. Rudy Giuliani henchman says he brought demand for investigation into Bidens to Ukraine goverment: “The associate, Lev Parnas, told a representative of the incoming government that it had to announce an investigation into Mr. Trump’s political rival, Joseph R. Biden Jr., and his son, or else Vice President Mike Pence would not attend the swearing-in of the new president, and the United States would freeze aid, the lawyer said.”

MALE MODEL MONDAY. Broderick Hunter, Stefan Petrov, Dean Perona, Juan Betancourt, Christian Hogue, Max Hamilton, and more.

DEEP DIVE OF THE DAY. John Oliver goes after coal baron. “I know, that after tonight, Murray will probably sue us again, even though everything I’ve said has been vigorously vetted by our lawyers who — may I add — are getting very tired with us.”

VOX. Far-right Spanish party now country’s third-largest. “The party won 52 seats — more than doubling the 24 it took during its April parliamentary debut in the most significant showing by a far-right faction since Spain’s return to democracy following dictator Francisco Franco’s death in 1975.”

CATS. The live action Cats looks as though it’ll blow through many award deadlions.

LUNA YOUNGER. What the battle over a 7-year-old trans girl could mean for families nationwide: “After 15 months in court, on October 22, the jury awarded Luna’s mother, Anne Georgulas, full conservatorship of her daughter. It was a decision that brought relief to the trans community and outraged conservatives who believe supporting a trans child’s gender identity is tantamount to child abuse.”

AVIATION NIGHTMARE OF THE DAY. Plane skids off runway at O’Hare.

SINGAPORE. Is it finally time for Singapore’s law banning gay sex to go? “The court could declare Section 377A unconstitutional and that would take effect immediately, said Ong, or it could rule the law was constitutional but did not cover acts that take place in private. In the third scenario, the court could rule that Section 377A covered all cases of male-to-male sexual intercourse – effectively backing the status quo.”

VANISHING ACT OF THE DAY. Instagram “Likes”.

NICKI MINAJ. I’ll stop using it

AMNESIA. Lady Gaga just forgot something very important.

RETRACTION DEMAND OF THE DAY. Tulsi Gabbard’s lawyers demand Hillary Clinton tweet public retraction of Russian asset claims: “Your statement is defamatory, and we demand that you retract it immediately,” Gabbard’s lawyer wrote in a letter, demanding that Clinton verbally retract the comments and post the retraction on Twitter.

THE FACTORY. L.A. says good-bye to the beloved Studio One nightclub and Backlot: ‘Studio One was opened in what was known as The Factory in 1975 by Scott Forbes. It was the height of the disco era. Studio One, Forbes said, “was planned, designed and conceived for gay people, gay male people. Any straight people here are guests of the gay community. This is gay!” It closed in 1988. While celebrated by many gay men, it has been criticized for allegedly discriminating against black men and women. The building has housed numerous other venues, including the “Axis” club that helped make Sandy Sachs a lesbian icon, and has served as home to nights such as “Rasputin” and “Ultra Suede.” The evening also featured a tribute to all the gay men who had found friendship, camaraderie and sometimes love on the Studio One dance floor, but later died of AIDS. City Councilmember John Duran, who is HIV-positive, led the tribute, asking people to raise a glass to the loved ones they lost to AIDS.’
