A conservative Christian church in Texas has issued an apology for staging an unauthorized production of Hamilton that altered the text to include religious and anti-LGBTQ+ messages, and it will pay damages to the show’s copyright holders.The Door Christian Fellowship McAllen Church produced a version of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award-winning musical this month that had Alexander Hamilton and his wife, Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, talking about their belief in Jesus Christ — language that is not in the script.

Drag Race is the gap between RuPaul saying “Good luck, and don’t fu*ck it up” and the start of the Lip Sync For Your Life. Sure we’re all eagerly anticipating the show-stopping smackdown, but there are those few, unspoken seconds where we’re also waiting to hear what song the two queens will be lip-syncing to.Of course, the show has a good track record on that front, frequently delivering bop after bop that will have the fans gagging after just the first few bars.

As monkeypox, or MPV, continues to spread primarily among gay, bi, and queer men and men who have sex with men, local communities are implementing a new Biden administration pilot program to get MPV vaccines into at-risk peoples' arms at large gatherings.

The Hill that the company is taking Hyatt’s complaint “seriously.”Walmart does not “tolerate discrimination of any kind,” the spokesperson said. “We will respond to the claim as appropriate.”Hyatt’s complaint is one of several legal challenges the retail giant has faced alleging that they have discriminated against transgender employees based on their gender identity.In December, a trans former employee sued the company for failing to act when co-workers and managers repeatedly used her deadname in conversations about her and on official documents.In 2018, Walmart settled a lawsuit brought by a former employee in North Carolina who claimed she had been fired in retaliation for complaining to her supervisors about on-the-job harassment at the hands of her co-workers.A year earlier, the U.S.

Harry Styles is giving fans exactly what they want in a touchingly honest cover story interview with Rolling Stone.In addition to a mega-successful music career and growing resume as an actor, Styles often sparks conversation for one other topic — his sexuality. “I’ve never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it’s benefited me positively,” he told the magazine. “There’s always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn’t going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way.”Though Styles has made headlines for his relationships with women in the past — like with Kendall Jenner, Taylor Swift, and currently, Olivia Wilde — the “As It Was” singer has never publicly labeled his sexuality.
