SEN JEFF MERKLEY<\/strong>. Undocumented children separated from parents are being kept in cages in detention<\/a>: \u201cThey have big cages made out of fencing and wire and nets stretched across the top of them so people can\u2019t climb out\u2026It\u2019s just a concrete floor and people are being given these space blankets to sleep on. A space blanket is\u2026the equivalent of foil. So obviously a very uncomfortable situation to be in.\u201d<\/p>\n NFL<\/strong>. Trump told White House officials to use the GOP tax plan to punish the National Football League<\/a>: \u201cWhen some players continued to kneel during the anthem, Trump told White House officials they should punish the NFL as part of a GOP-tax plan, according to White House and Hill aides. Some aides even began researching how to punish the lucrative league, and ideas trickled over to Capitol Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n SARA GILBERT<\/strong>. Actress may get a Roseanne<\/em> spin-off<\/a>.<\/p>\n SHEP SMITH<\/strong>. Somebody\u2019s lying to us. \u201cIf one person says one thing, and another person says the opposite thing, someone\u2019s not telling the truth \u2026 these inconsistencies seem to be among the most consistent things that we live<\/a> with now.\u201d<\/p>\n Shep: Somebody’s lying to us. <\/p>\n WSJ Reporter: Well, it’s a discrepancy.<\/p>\n Shep: If one person says one thing, and another person says the opposite thing, someone’s not telling the truth \u2026 these inconsistencies seem to be among the most consistent things that we live<\/a> with now. pic.twitter.com\/Sokk8o2O9m<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Lis Power (@LisPower1) June 4, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n DOLLY PARTON<\/strong>. Netflix plans eight-episode series based around one song each episode<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cAs a songwriter, I have always enjoyed telling stories through my music,\u201d Parton said. \u201cI am thrilled to be bringing some of my favorite songs to life with Netflix. We hope our show will inspire and entertain families and folks of all generations, and I want to thank the good folks at Netflix and Warner Bros. TV for their incredible support.\u201d<\/p>\n LEE PACE<\/strong>. On his coming out<\/a>.<\/p>\n UGLY STALKING OF THE DAY<\/strong>. Alex Jones stalked Bernie Sanders at LAX.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n CHICAGO<\/strong>. Gay and Straight Alliance Prom wraps attendees in a big hug<\/a>: \u2018The GSA prom is a prime opportunity for a diverse array of young people in hypersegregated Chicago to come together.\u00a0According to a 2016 poll\u00a0<\/a>by The New York Times and the Kaiser Family Foundation, African-Americans and Latinos on the South and West Sides of the city are more likely to be dissatisfied than white people on the North Side with neighborhood services like public recreation facilities, transportation and public education. A citywide dance where students from varying races and economic backgrounds, as well as gender identities and sexual orientations, can come together under one roof is a rare treat from the normal social and cultural divisions.\u2019<\/p>\n ART SMITH<\/strong>. Top Chef Masters<\/em> star Art Smith has some thoughts about the Masterpiece Cakeshop case.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n ORCHID<\/strong>. New gay bar opens in D.C.<\/a><\/p>\n LOUISVILLE<\/strong>. Iconic gay nightclub to be demolished<\/a>: \u201cAn estimated $159,000 worth of wrecking is underway at the old Connection site, 120 S. Floyd St., to make way for a 128-room, luxury hotel, according to documents filed with Louisville Metro Government.\u00a0 \u201d<\/p>\n BILL CLINTON<\/strong>. Clarifies Lewinsky remarks<\/a>: \u201cThe suggestion was that I never apologized for what caused all the trouble for me 20 years ago. First point is, I did. I meant it then, I meant it now. I apologized to my family, to Monica Lewinsky and her family and to the American people before a panel of ministers in the White House, which was widely reported. So I did that. I meant it then and I mean it today. I live<\/a> with it all the time. The second is that I support the Me Too movement and think it is long overdue, and I have always tried to support it in the decisions and policies that I advanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n GAYBY NEWS<\/strong>. Lance Bass and Michael Turchin have found a surrogate<\/a>.<\/p>\n FRANK BRUNI<\/strong>. The extinction of gay identity<\/a>: \u2018I increasingly get the sense that gayness itself has scattered, becoming something more various and harder to define. \u201cGay\u201d tells you about a person\u2019s lusts and loves, but it used to tell you more \u2014 about his or her boldness, irreverence, independence. It connoted a particular journey and pronounced struggle, and had its own soundtrack, sartorial flourishes and short list of celebrity icons. Not so anymore.\u2019<\/p>\n ELLE WOODS<\/strong>. Reese Witherspoon returning for Legally Blonde 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n REMINISCENCE OF THE DAY<\/strong>. Alan Cumming on Romy and Michelle dance.<\/p>\n Alan Cumming talks about ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ and whether or not he’d perform the iconic dance scene at your wedding. \u2014 Entertainment Weekly (@EW) June 2, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong>.

SUPERMODEL OF THE WORLD<\/strong>. RuPaul\u2019s influence, 25 years later<\/a>: \u2018Supermodel<\/em>, led by its pivotal single\/lifestyle slogan, \u201cSupermodel (You Better Work),\u201d did manage to strike a crucial, first blow against a drag-resistant world, while also making major inroads during a far more homophobic time. Seen from a modern perspective, RuPaul\u2019s debut seems even more daring and encompassing than it did in its day. It cut across several key subcultures, forcing them closer to the mainstream by sheer will and charm. That last factor would prove crucial to RuPaul\u2019s wider ascension and impact. \u201cI knew this was happening for me when I was shooting the \u2018Supermodel\u2019 video<\/a> in Central Park and I had a Winnebago,\u201d he told EW in a 2017 interview. \u201cI thought,\u00a0I have a freaking Winnebago. I am\u00a0<\/em>here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
