(CNN) — Producer Ryan Murphy has premiered three series in roughly a month, so a degree of overlap is perhaps understandable. Even so, the new season of his long-running FX franchise, this one dubbed American Horror Story: NYC, feels like a companion in its central themes to Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which premiered last month on Netflix.A key element of the Dahmer miniseries, based on the real-life serial killer who preyed on gay men in the 1980s and particularly people of color, was the extent to which homophobia contributed to an indifference that helped him avoid legal consequences, before his arrest in 1991.The latest American Horror Story is set in a different place, but an overlapping time, beginning in 1981 — just as the AIDS epidemic began, and before the disease had acquired that name — and focusing on a serial killer murdering gay men in New York City.The mysterious killer remains unidentified through the first two episodes, but suspicion surrounds a leather-clad figure known only as Big Daddy.

Rebel Wilson has opened up about being forced to come out not on her time but on the time of a journalist who, according to the actress, threatened to out her.The Pitch Perfect and Senior Year actor opened up about the circumstances surrounding her public announcement this summer that she was in a relationship with fashion designer Ramona Agruma. Speaking to The Australian, Wilson explained that she preemptively posted a snapshot on Instagram disclosing her relationship because journalist Andrew Hornery with the Sydney Morning Herald intended to publish Wilson’s intimate relationship details.In early June, she wrote, “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess.”She said she and Agruma didn’t hide their relationship, but the couple wanted to share the news at their own pace due to varying levels of family support.“Across our two families, not everybody is as accepting as what you’d hoped for, and we were trying to be respectful to those people and tell them in our own way,” Wilson told The Australian. “Basically, with the situation where a journalist is threatening to out you, you’ve got to hurry, and some people we didn’t get a chance to tell before it came out publicly.

Bring on the vomit!A pastor at a notorious anti-LGBTQ+ church in Texas labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center told his congregation he would rather eat his own vomit than engage in anal sex with another man, and apparently, he’s not the only pastor in the denomination to feel that way. Author and blogger Hehmant Mehta tweeted excerpts of the sermons at the Steadfast Baptist Church in Watauga where pastor Jonathan Shelley made the claims.“If you said ‘hey, pastor Shelley, you’re going to have to eat Indian food and ranch dressing every day of your life or do that one time [engage in anal sex with another man],’” pastor Shelley said during a recent sermon, “it’s like bring on the Indian food.”Shelley then promised to recycle his food rather than engage in anal sex with a gay man.“‘Paster Shelley, what if you had to eat the Indian food and ranch dressing and then vomit it up and eat it again, or do that one time,’” Shelley continued, “it’s like bring on the vomit!” Later in the sermon, Shelley claimed gay men suffer from horrific medical consequences as a result of gay anal sex.“What men do with men is defiling their bodies, hurting their bodies, they’re hurting each other.

ALIQUIPPA, Pennsylvania (WTAE) — The LGBTQ+ community is taking a stand after a Beaver County teacher refused to refer to transgender students by their pronouns.Earlier this month, after a large showing of support for the high school biology and anatomy teacher, Daren Cusato was reinstated and allowed back on the job.The South Side Area School District also suspended its policy.Now, the LGBTQ+ community is taking a stand and showing its support for a transgender student.“Honestly, I thought it was ridiculous.
