“IS THIS THE STATE MISSOURI WANTS TO BE?” — THE KANSAS CITY STAR ON ANTI-LGBTQ ACTIVIST WHO TESTIFIED BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE THAT DISCRIMINATION IS OK: The Star’s editorial board, responding to Ron Calzone’s testimony that “we have a God-given right to discriminate,” wrote: “[Calzone’s] testimony was a clarifying moment: In some parts of the state, in some minds, private business signs that say ‘whites only’ or ‘no Irish need apply’ or ‘no women allowed’ are still acceptable, even laudable… The legislature should add gender and sexual orientation protections to state law this year and send the long overdue message that discrimination will not be tolerated in this state.” More from The Kansas City Star.

GLAAD CEO: Trump’s Opposition to Equality Act is a Flip Flop LGBTQ Americans Will Not Forget
GLAAD CEO: Trump’s Opposition to Equality Act is a Flip Flop LGBTQ Americans Will Not Forget
Rebuke of the Equality Act marks the 106th time the Trump Administration has attacked LGBTQ Americans in policy and rhetoric
ICYMI from 2000: Donald Trump supported policy similar to the Equality Act
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today slammed President Donald Trump and his administration for opposing the Equality Act, which would secure across-the-board protections for more than 13 million LGBTQ Americans at their workplace, in their homes, and across their communities. More than 161 corporate backers support the Equality Act and a majority of Americans in all 50 states and across all major political parties support the idea of cementing nondiscrimination protections for the LGBTQ community. The legislation is expected to receive a vote by the House of Representatives this Friday.
“President Trump’s opposition to the Equality Act, a bill that would protect hard-working Americans against discrimination, shows the unyielding power that anti-LGBTQ activists like the Heritage Foundation have on this Administration,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. “LGBTQ Americans will not forget the President’s politically craven flip-flop on this fair and just legislation, which further cements his Administration’s legacy of being the most anti-LGBTQ government in recent memory.”
In 2000, Donald Trump told The Advocate he supported policy similar to the Equality Act, however, much has changed since he ran and was elected President. Since taking office, the President Trump and his administration have unleashed more than 106 attacks against LGBTQ Americans in policy and rhetoric, all of which could be found on GLAAD’s Trump Accountability Project (TAP) by going to www.glaad.org/trump.

Changes to Photo Layout on New App and Website
Hide Image:
Show Image
As we move towards the launch of our new website and app on May 27th, we want to update and educate you about some of the upcoming changes. One thing you will notice on the new app and website is the photo layout has changed from landscape to vertical. This change was required due to our implementation of more up-to-date technology and is also in line with what other dating apps are doing.
We wanted to let you know about this important change, as it might require you to reload some of your photos for them to appear correctly in the new app and website.
In addition to the photo layout changes, both premium supporters and non-premium users will be able to have up to six (6) public profile photos on the new app/website. Premium supporters will be able to store up to twenty (20) photos or videos in their private gallery and non-premium users will be able to store up to four (4) photos in their private gallery on the new app/website.
Fotofeed will no longer be supported in the new version of the app. It’s being replaced with the ability to import photos directly from Facebook in the first release of the new app/website and will be followed in the second release with the ability to link your Instagram feed directly to your profile.
Stay tuned for more updates about additional changes and new features that are coming in DHv3!

SHAME: Trump-Pence Administration Declares Opposition to Equality Act
SHAME: Trump-Pence Administration Declares Opposition to Equality Act
HRC responded to the Trump-Pence administration’s announcement opposing the Equality Act, crucially important, bipartisan legislation that will finally provide clear, comprehensive non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people across the country in employment, housing, public spaces, education, jury services, credit and federal funding.
“We’re disgusted, but certainly not surprised, by Donald Trump’s announcement that he opposes the Equality Act, which is supported by seven in ten Americans and more than two hundred major businesses,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “By opposing this common sense civil rights legislation, Donald Trump is ensuring that LGBTQ people remain at risk of being fired or denied housing in a majority of states. The LGBTQ community, and all Americans for that matter, deserve a president with the courage and decency to sign this bill into law, and we will continue the urgent work to pass the Equality Act and replace Donald Trump with a pro-equality president who will sign it into law.”
The bipartisan Equality Act, first introduced in Congress in July 2015, is sponsored by Representatives David Cicilline (D-RI) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) in the House and Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Susan Collins (R-ME), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) in the Senate.
The Equality Act was re-introduced in the new U.S. House in March with growing, unprecedented support. More than 200 major corporations have joined HRC’s Business Coalition for the Equality Act. Recent polling finds that a growing majority of Americans — including Republicans, Democrats and Independents — support LGBTQ non-discrimination protections and LGBTQ equality. In a historic move, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers announced their support for the Equality Act. A recent survey by PRRI found that nearly seven in 10 Americans support laws like the Equality Act. More than 360 statewide and national organizations have endorsed the legislation, including social justice, religious, medical and child welfare organizations.
Discrimination is a real and persistent problem for LGBTQ Americans. HRC polling has found that nearly two-thirds of self-identified LGBTQ Americans report experiencing discrimination. Currently, 50 percent of LGBTQ Americans live in the 30 states that still lack statewide legal non-discrimination protections, leaving their residents and visitors at risk of being fired, denied housing, or refused service because of who they are or whom they love. The Equality Act would finally guarantee existing civil rights laws apply to LGBTQ people by providing clear, consistent non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation or gender identity across key areas of life, while expanding and enhancing protections for people of color, women and religious minorities.
HRC has released several resources detailing the urgent need for passage:
