<\/p>\nBig Little Lies, GLAAD LGBTQ Acceptance, Edible Banana Peels, Lily Allen, April Ryan, Oprah: HOT LINKS<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n
BAD REPORT<\/strong>. New GLAAD report shows alarming decline in LGBTQ acceptance<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cIn the past year, there has been a swift and alarming erosion of acceptance which can only be fought by being visible and vocal,\u201d said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis. \u201cThis report puts numbers to the bias that too many LGBTQ Americans have recently experienced. GLAAD is fighting the rollback by enlisting philanthropic leaders like the Ariadne Getty Foundation and global changemakers attending the World Economic Forum to use their platforms and move our community forward.\u201d<\/p>\n MISS PIGGY<\/strong>. HUD Official called White House reporter April Ryan \u201cMiss Piggy\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0I hear #MissPiggys still on a rampage. Gee, I must have struck a nerve @AprilDRyan! #BankruptBlogger\u201d<\/p>\n Tonight, I made an inexcusable comment on my personal Twitter account that I deeply regret & deleted on my own volition. I sincerely apologize to @AprilDRyan<\/a>. I also wish to apologize to my staff at @HUDNY_NJ<\/a>, @SecretaryCarson<\/a> & the #Trump<\/a> family who deserved better leadership. pic.twitter.com\/dpQAd2F2rC<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lynne Patton (HUD) (@LynnePattonHUD) January 25, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n SUPER BOWL<\/strong>. Will there be an \u2018NSYNC reunion<\/a>?<\/p>\n FLASHBACK<\/strong>. When gay people dreaded invitations to straight weddings<\/a>. \u2018In the years before same-sex<\/a> marriage was legalized, some gay<\/a> men<\/a> and women<\/a> considered weddings to be the ultimate celebration of heterosexuality itself, leading them to feel awkward, and sometimes unwelcome, when invited to a straight couple<\/a>\u2019s nuptials, argued Bob Morris, a longtime Styles contributor.<\/p>\n CHARLOTTE<\/strong>.

There\u2019s now a banana with an edible peel<\/a>. \u2018The secret to the edible skin comes from growing the banana trees in a minus 75 degrees Fahrenheit (-59 degrees Celsius) environment, then is thawed and replanted. It means the fruit grows rapidly and leaves the skin with a \u201clettuce\u201d like texture.\u2019<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n IMAGE REHAB ATTEMPT OF THE DAY<\/strong> Logan Paul exploits suicide.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n NEW TUNE OF THE DAY.

OPRAH<\/strong>. On 2020 run<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not. And so it\u2019s not something that interests me. I don\u2019t have the DNA for it. Gayle \u2014 who knows me as well as I know myself practically \u2014 has been calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman<\/a> in the airport saying, \u2018When\u2019s Oprah going to run?\u2019 So Gayle sends me these things, and then she\u2019ll go, \u2018I know, I know, I know! It wouldn\u2019t be good for you\u2014it would be good for everyone else.\u2019 I met with someone the other day who said that they would help me with a campaign. That\u2019s not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Devin](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/devin_nunes.jpeg?resize=195%2C195\")
