GRAMMY GLOW Michelle Obama was the highlight of the Grammys–and J-Lo brought us a Motown tribute via the Bronx.
Celebitchy said of Mrs. Obama’s surprise appearance: “It was great to see Michelle and it was great to see how everyone in the audience totally loved her and cheered for her. Second of all, I have no idea how this appearance was pitched to Michelle, but I wonder if she would have said yes if she was told that she would stand up there with that particular group of women. It felt like… yay, a celebration of women, but also: Michelle should have been up there alone, because that grouping was random AF. The other women felt tacked-on, last minute, and they hadn’t even rehearsed anything. It felt like an excuse for Alicia to find some way to stand next to Michelle Obama.
DAWWW Your daily dose of cute.

DAMAGED GOODS? “There is a lack of understanding about trauma, and a lack of will to talk about problematic sex. Because experts don’t want to shame anyone, they won’t talk about it. Many of us have a baseline anxiety in the trauma of growing up LGBT, one where we did not feel safe. Leading us to internalize the idea that we are a threat to ourselves. Leading us to become anxious about our entire being.” Gay Star News talks drugs and being LGBT.

Suspect In Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre Pleads Not Guilty
Suspect In Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre Pleads Not Guilty
Robert Bowers, the man accused of bursting into the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27 armed to the teeth and who proceeded to shout “All Jews must die” before murdering eleven people pleaded not guilty in federal court to a dozen additional charges including hate crimes according to Reuters.
“Bowers, 46, pleaded not guilty to 19 fresh charges, which bring the total number of criminal counts he is facing to 63, including use of a firearm to commit murder and obstruction of religious exercise resulting in death” said Reuters.
The massacre was the deadliest attackon a U.S. Jewish institution in history.
Among the eleven Jewish congregants was a family doctor who served as an erstwhile HIV specialist and treated his patients with respect.
His name was Jerry Rabinowitz.
Shortly after the massacre Act Up member Michael Kerr posted this moving remembrance on Facebook:
“My doctor Jerry Rabinowitz was among those killed in the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting. He took care of me up until I left Pittsburgh for NYC in 2004.
In the old days for HIV patients in Pittsburgh he was to one to go to. Basically before there was effective treatment for fighting HIV itself, he was known in the community for keeping us alive the longest. He often held our hands (without rubber gloves) and always always hugged us as we left his office.
We made a deal about my T-cells in that I didn’t want to know the numbers visit to visit because I knew I would fret with every little fluctuation and I also knew that AZT was not working for my friends. The deal was that he would just let me know at some point when the T-cell numbers meant I needed to start on medications. The numbers were his job and my job was to finish my masters thesis and get a job with insurance and try to not go crazy.
I got lucky beyond words — because when he gently told me around November 1995 that it was time to begin taking medications — there was an ACTG trial for two HIV medications that saved my life. One of which I still take today.
Thank you ACT UP for getting these drugs into a safe but effect expedited research protocol. You saved my life.
And thank you Dr. Rabinowitiz for having always been there during the most terrifying and frightening time of my life. You will be remembered by me always. You are one of my heroes just like the early ACT UP warriors — some of which I now call friend.”
Among the victims were two middle-aged brothers, an elderly husband and wife and a grandmother nearing 100. All were cherished members of a tight-knit Jewish community with deep roots in Pittsburgh history.

HORRIBLE — ICE IS HOLDING 45 TRANS WOMEN IN A DETENTION CENTER IN TEXAS: This is the same facility where Roxsana Hernández was held before she tragically died last May. Read more from the Washington Blade.
5/5 We are thankful to the advocates on the ground, including @RAICESTEXAS and @TransLawCenter, who are working to ensure that these trans women are treated with the dignity, care and respect that all immigrants and asylum seekers deserve.

THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE AGAINST TRANSGENDER WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY:
- The Washington Post reports on the trial of two men accused of unleashing “sheer brutality” on the D.C. trans community, including fatally shooting Deeniquia “Dee Dee” Dodds, 22, in 2016. Prosecutors added hate crime enhancements to the charges against Cyheme Hall and Montee Tyree Johnson, saying the men targeted transgender women. Read Keith Alexander’s (@keithlalexander) report at The Washington Post.
- In West Hollywood, California, a transgender woman alleges she was assaulted by five men outside of a local LGBTQ bar. More from WEHOville.
- Students at a Memphis, Tennessee, high school allegedly threatened to murder a transgender student. Keloni Grand was followed by a group of boys who called her anti-LGBTQ slurs and threatened her with violence in what she says is increasingly violent bullying targeting her. More from Ebony.
- Charlotte, a transgender woman and friend of Roxsana Hernández, details her violent and dangerous experience traveling to the United States in the San Francisco Chronicle.
STATEHOUSE ROUNDUP:
- Arizona State Superintendent Kathy Hoffman is calling for the repeal of the state’s dangerous and backward “don’t say gay” law, which bars teachers from affirming and supporting some of our most vulnerable students. More from The Hill.
- Anti-equality lawmakers in Tennessee have proposed a bill attacking marriage equality with language that goes so far as to say the Obergefell ruling “flies in the face of reality.” More from Fox 17 Nashville.
- Illinois lawmakers are seeking to require that public schools teach about LGBTQ history. Current law requires instruction about the history of people in categories protected under the state’s Human Rights Act.. More from Illinois News Network.
