Authorities Claim The Bastille Day Killer Was Bisexual
Authorities Claim The Bastille Day Killer Was Bisexual
The man who careened a truck through a crowd of revelers celebrating Bastille Day in Nice was allegedly bisexual, and used dating sites to meet both men and women for sex.
37-year-old Mohamed Labouaiej Bouhlel, who ISIS describes as a “soldier of Islam,” killed 84 people on July 14th during the attack.

After police shot and killed Bouhlel, they examined his phone to try to understand his motivations and track down accomplices.
Newsweek reports he kept photos of “both female and male conquests on his phone,” despite bisexuality and homosexuality being forbidden in Islam.
Friends and relatives claim he didn’t behave like a devout Muslim until only very recently.

Speaking to The Local, his father Mohamed Mondher Lahouaiej-Bouhlel said, “He didn’t pray, he didn’t fast, he drank alcohol. He even took drugs.”
Reportedly, there was at least one man he saw regularly and considered a boyfriend: a 73-year-old retiree.
According to a neighbor, Bouhlel went crazy after his wife left him: “He defecated everywhere, he cut up his daughter’s teddy bear and slashed the mattress. I don’t think there was a radicalization issue, I think there was a psychiatric problem.”
What The Hell Is Antigay Activist Josh Duggar Doing On Grindr?
What The Hell Is Antigay Activist Josh Duggar Doing On Grindr?
Hmmm. It appears antigay reality star, admitted pedophile, serial philanderer and alleged sex addict Josh Duggar on Grindr.
Or is he?
A photo of 28-year-old Duggar holding up his cellphone and proudly displaying the Grindr app has been making the rounds on social media.
So what’s the deal?
Before we dig into this latest Duggar scandal, a little backstory… Josh has been keeping a low profile for over a year now. It all began in May of 2015 when he admitted to molesting two of his sisters. A few months after that, he was outed for having not one but two Ashley Madison accounts. After confessing to cheating on his wife while she was pregnant, Josh said he was going to sex rehab to learn how to control his urges. But when the time came to actually check in, he bailed. The icing on the cake came a few months after that when adult film actress Danica Dillon filed a lawsuit against him alleging he basically paid her $1,500 to beat her up while they had sex. That lawsuit was later dropped.
The rest of the Duggar family has done their best to distance themselves from their eldest sibling. But he keeps slithering back around. Most recently, the Hollywood Bossip recently ran a story about Duggar not appearing on his sisters’ new reality show. Included in the story was this image:
Naturally, tongues started wagging:
Well, the folks over at Inquisitr did some sleuthing and quickly discovered that the picture is, wait for it, photoshopped:
It appears, though, that in this case, the shot was scooped up from a far older source. One of the oldest copies of this image on the internet can be found in a 2013 post on LiveJournal. Since that post is about Josh joining the Family Research Council, a photoshopped image associating Josh with a gay dating app is very apt.
The original image was posted to the Duggar Family Blog years ago in a post celebrating Josh’s 25th birthday:
We think we speak for gay men the world over when we say: Thank God!

As GOP Convention Opens, ‘Gays Against Guns’ to Hold Protest at Trump Tower
Gays Against Guns, the LGBTQ activist group which was created in response to the shooting in Orlando, is holding a protest tonight during the opening night of the Republican National Convention, at Trump Tower at 725 5th Avenue in New York City.
Writes the group on Facebook:
Today, Queer Nation and Gays Against Guns will articulate our shared outrage over Trump’s and Pence’s anti-LGBT views and their unwavering support of the NRA and flawed gun policy. Our goal is to let Donald Trump and the world know that he is on our radar and that he will continue to be on our radar…indefinitely. We will see you @ the “Stop The Hate, Stop The Guns” action @ Trump Tower, 5pm.
JOIN US: Republican Convention 2016 — LIVEBLOG on Towleroad
From their mission statement:
Gays Against Guns NY is a grassroots social/political organization open to all members of the LGBTQAIA community who are committed to stopping the life threatening convergence of homophobia and flawed gun policy, drawing and sustaining public attention and anger on the dangerous, outsize influence of the gun lobby, holding puppet politicians who prioritize the gun lobby over public safety and their constituents’ lives accountable, and whose members who will not rest until our LGBTQAIA family and the community at large is safe from gun violence.

Stephen Colbert is ready for the final contest in the Hungry for Power Games.
The late night host is in Cleveland, Ohio for the Republican National Convention and on Sunday, he stormed the RNC stage to gavel in the end to the Republican contest in a fashion befitting this unconventional election.

Colbert has repeatedly mocked the 2016 race in segments where he likens the election to the Hunger Games. In those segments, Colbert plays the role of Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci), the outlandish announcer who covers the games.
Colbert was dressed as Flickerman when he stormed the RNC stage over the weekend and declared,”[Donald Trump] has formed an alliance with Indiana Governor Mike Pence.” Colbert then appeared to doze off at the mention of Pence. “Sorry, I blacked out there for a moment,” he quipped. He then grabbed the gavel on stage and declared, “it is my honor to hereby launch and begin the 2016 Republican National Hungry for Power Games!”
As a security guard approached him to get him off the stage Colbert said, “Look, I know I’m not supposed to be here. But let’s be honest, neither is Donald Trump.”

GLAAD finishes #SouthernStories tour with LGBTQ-affirming riverside baptism, church service
GLAAD finishes #SouthernStories tour with LGBTQ-affirming riverside baptism, church service
GLAAD finished the Alabama and Mississippi leg of its 2016 Southern Stories Summer Tour with Joshua Generation Metropolitan Community Church (JGMCC) over the weekend. GLAAD’s Director of Programs – U.S. South & Global, Ross Murray, as well Alexandra Bolles, GLAAD’s Senior Programs Strategist – U.S. South & Global, were on the trip.
Joshua Generation MCC is a radically affirming and inclusive church that welcomes anyone regardless of age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity or social status.
JGMCC held its first baptism on Saturday in Little Black Creek in Mississippi. The service began with the church’s choir, known as the Praise Team, singing songs like Amazing Grace. 22 people were individually baptized as the church community sang Down To The River To Pray. The baptisms were followed by a cookout, flag football, and everyone enjoying each other’s company. GLAAD spoke to several church members about their stories and experiences of being LGBTQ in the Hospitality State.
On Sunday morning, Ross, who is also a deaconal minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church preached at Joshua Generation MCC. In his sermon, Ross spoke to the congregation, which typically sees around 80 parishioners each week, about recent tragic killings all around the world, affirming that God loves everyone, and encourage everyone to show that love to others.
You can watch part one and part two of the service in full online.
The church’s pastor and founder, Brandiilyne Dear has been a leader in LGBT advocacy in Mississippi, both in the religious community and beyond. She is also the founder of the Dandelion Project.
GLAAD visited Jacksonville, Florida last month, and in the past week, visited Birmingham, Alabama as well as Jackson, Long Beach, and Hattiesburg in Mississippi. GLAAD met with LGBT community members and leading advocates across these cities and worked to amplify their voices in order to accelerate LGBT acceptance across the U.S. South. In partnership with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Rainbow Center, GLAAD hosted a community dinner and town hall discussion about the state of being LGBT in Southern Mississippi. You can see pictures from the event here.
