Still no arrest in 2020 killing of bi transit advocate

In what sounds like a bit of saucy gossip from Lady Whistledown’s latest newsletter, it’s been revealed that Jonathan Bailey held onto a special little (emphasis on the word “little”) souvenir from the set of Bridgerton‘s second season.When it was announced that the hunky gay actor would be stepping into the spotlight for season two of Netflix‘s romantic regency drama—based on author Julia Quinn’s novels of the same name—fans were excited to see a lot more of the sexy, brooding Viscount Anthony Bridgerton.But where the first season was full of sex scenes and bodily fluids, the second go-around was surprisingly more restrained, largely focusing on Anthony’s will-they-won’t-they dalliances with the gorgeous Kate Sharma (Simone Ashley).Of course, there’s at least one notable scene where Bailey shows some skin, one that quickly took on a life of its own when it was shared across social media.

The historic Castro Theatre is a step closer to an upgrade in its status as a city landmark May 24 with the support of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.Supervisors voted unanimously 11-0 to approve enhancement of the historic theater's landmark status, a move that extends that designation from, essentially, just the facade of the building to its grand interior. Submitted by gay District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman during the May 10 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the resolution amends the historic theater's landmark status by broadening the designation to include "the full historical, architectural, aesthetic and cultural interest and value of the Castro Theatre," as opposed to the current designation that only covers the building's elaborate California Churrigueresque facade.

Republican Rep. Paul Gosar succeeded in finding the worst possible response to Tuesday’s horrific elementary school shooting, and now folks are calling on him to resign.Gosar took to Twitter to spread a completely baseless rumor that the gunman who killed at least 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, was a trans, “leftist illegal alien.”“It’s a transsexual leftist illegal alien named Salvatore Ramos,” the MAGA politician wrote.At the time of his tweet, the shooter had already been confirmed to be 18-year-old Salvadore Rolando Ramos, a cisgender male.While the vile tweet was later deleted, the lie continues to spread across Twitter and Reddit, with some users dangerously sharing images of innocent trans people and claiming they are Ramos.Related: Tomi Lahren said something stupid about yesterday’s school shooting and Twitter is NOT having itRedditor Apprehensive_Ad_995 is one of the falsely accused trans people; she took to the online forum to assure everyone, “It’s not me, I don’t even live in Texas.”Other users across Twitter have been fighting the misinformation:Many are posting photos of a young male in women’s clothing claiming it is the #Uvalde, Texas mass shooter.

If wrestling always seemed pretty gay to you—with its campy costumes, showboating athletes, and spectacular theatrics—well, that’s because it is.Outside of the confines of the WWE, there’s a whole wild world of queer wrestlers hitting the mat, and many of their stories are explored in filmmaker Ryan Bruce Levey’s documentary, Out In The Ring.“You can’t really divide drag culture from wrestling the way they get into the ring, feathers and makeup and all of that,” the filmmaker tells Original Cin. And it’s true that, when you look past the traditionally masculine bravado that’s been depicted in mainstream wrestling over the years, the “sport” and drag are really just different sides of the same coin.

Conservative political commentator and noted transphobe Tomi Lahren wasted absolutely no time politicizing the awful school shooting that happened in Texas yesterday.Nineteen children and two teachers were murdered by 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos when he opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a small city of about 16,000 residents, approximately 85 miles west of San Antonio.“It’s not about guns, it’s about evil. The Democrats only want it to be about guns so they don’t have to address the evil,” Lahren tweeted just hours after the massacre, as some families were still waiting to learn whether their children were alive or dead.It’s not about guns, it’s about evil.

in which at least 19 children and two adults were killed in a school shooting, speculative and misleading narratives about the identity of the alleged shooter, Salvador Ramos, have spread quickly online.Photos circulated on Twitter and other social media purporting that Ramos was both trans and an undocumented immigrant.Media, political and social furor surrounding the issues of sexual and gender identity and immigration have undoubtedly helped fuel such claims quickly, only hours after the shooting took place and before any information could be verified or confirmed.Based on the information available, Newsweek has looked into the substance and sources of these claims, as well as how they have proliferated on social media.Hundreds of social media posts have speculated about the identity of Salvador Ramos, 18, some of which claimed he was transgender without reliable evidence.Multiple tweets, many of which have since been deleted, included photos claimed to be of Ramos wearing feminine clothing; these narratives were subsequently picked up by conspiracy media, including InfoWars and some politicians including Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who later deleted the tweet.The man deleted this.
