OP ED. Bernie Sanders tells his supporters–again–to vote for Hillary: “I understand that many of my supporters are disappointed by the final results of the nominating process, but being despondent and inactive is not going to improve anything. Going forward and continuing the struggle is what matters. And, in that struggle, the most immediate task we face is to defeat Donald Trump.”
BAD LLAMA. Who wishes they had an alpaca as a pet?

Uganda Pride Parade Cancelled After Government Minister Threatens Violence
Uganda Pride Parade Cancelled After Government Minister Threatens Violence
A pride parade celebration scheduled to take place this weekend in Uganda has been cancelled after a government minister threatened to organize a mob to beat up anyone who participated in the parade.
This comes just a day after police raided a pre-pride event and arrested several leading activists in the Ugandan LGBT community.
Saturday’s parade was scheduled to be held in a private space in Munyonyo, outside of Kampala, the country’s capital. But police raided the Mr. and Miss Pride pageant on Thursday night at the Venom nightclub and detained several of Uganda’s most visible LGBT activists for several hours.
On Friday, lawyer Nick Opiyo of Chapter 4 Uganda met with Ethics Minister Simon Lokodo to discuss the raid. Following the meeting, Opiyo told BuzzFeed News that Lokodo had threatened to bring opposition to the event to the streets, so organizers decided it should be canceled.
Opiyo added,
“We decided to suspend it because of the risks to personal safety. The minister threatened to mobilize a mob and a large police group to beat up anyone who shows up for pride tomorrow. We will engage the government next week with a view of holding the pride parade at another date soon.”
The actions of the Ugandan government are reportedly in violation of agreements it has made with both the US and the UK, which state that Uganda must allow pride parades to take place without government intervention.

Uganda Pride Canceled Following Threat from Government Minister and Vicious Police Raid
Uganda Pride Canceled Following Threat from Government Minister and Vicious Police Raid
Uganda’s annual pride celebration slated for this weekend has been abruptly called off by organizers following threats from a government minister.
Advocates say Ethics Minister Simon Lokodo threatened to mobilize a mob to disrupt the pride march that was scheduled for Saturday. Pride gatherings in previous years had been held without incident.
A brutal police raid on a pride event on Thursday saw the arrest of scores of participants and attendees at the club Venom in the capital, Kampala. Several well known activists, including Frank Mugisha and Pepe Onziema, were arrested. They were all eventually released.
The raid was carried out shortly after a tribute to the 49 victims of the recent deadly rampage in Orlando. HRC and other partners sponsored Uganda Pride’s opening reception. HRC is monitoring the situation closely and working with partners in Uganda to help in any way that we can.
“It is deeply disturbing that Uganda’s Pride celebration had to be canceled after threats from public officials,” said Ty Cobb, Director, HRC Global. ”We stand in solidarity with the Ugandan LGBTQ community as they continue their work to make Uganda a country that is welcoming to all.”
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, in office since 1986, signed the country’s infamous Anti-Homosexuality Bill in February 2014. Though the Constitutional Court subsequently invalidated it in August that year, the law created a violent backlash against the LGBTQ community that persists to this day.

Ahead of Ethics Hearing, HRC Reveals #NoMoore Billboard in Montgomery
HRC Alabama revealed a new billboard off I-85 in Montgomery calling out disgraced, notoriously anti-LGBTQ Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. The billboard, which reads“#NoMoore: Dismiss Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore” goes up as Moore, suspended from the bench in May for his consistent defiance of pro-marriage equality federal rulings in the state, is set to be questioned by judicial prosecutors during a hearing Monday on ethics charges.
Following Moore’s ethics hearing with the Court of the Judiciary, HRC Alabama will hold a press conference on the steps of the Alabama Supreme Court.
In 2014, HRC launched Project One America, an initiative geared towards advancing social, institutional and legal equality in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. HRC Alabama continues to work to advance equality for LGBTQ Alabamians who have no state level protections in housing, workplace, or public accommodations. Through HRC Alabama, we are working toward a future of fairness every day — changing hearts, minds and laws toward achieving full equality.

“Careful What You Wish For,” “The Lobster,” “Holding The Man,” & More!
These are strange days indeed, and our home entertainment highlights offer a bit of respite… and different sort of weirdness.
Colin Farrell will turn into a crustacean unless he finds a lover in off-kilter fantasy-dramedy The Lobster, while the fifteen-year relationship of an Aussie gay couple is charted in based-on-a-true-story Holding The Man (above). Finally, our favorite gay bait, Nick Jonas, lands a dangerous affair with a married woman in Careful What You Wish For.
Now for details and trailers!
($24.99 DVD; Strand)
Based on the bestselling Aussie 1995 autobiography of Tim Conigrave, this romantic drama tracks the relationship between Tim and boyfriend John Caleo from the time they met in High School at age 16, when their parents’ discovery of this forbidden love proves prickly, to their career pursuits and flirtations with a growing, debauched gay scene in Sydney, to the discovery (SPOILER ALERT) that HIV has entered their lives. Playwright Tommy Murphy, who previously brought Conigrave’s memoir to live as a 2006 play, here again fleshes things out for director Neil Armfield, bringing to light this Aussie gay love story for the world at large. Acclaimed Oz actors Guy Pearce, Anthony LaPaglia, and Geoffrey Rush contribute their talents to this passion project. Also available on Netflix!
($12.99 DVD; ANME9)
Nick Jonas has plenty of opportunity to take off his shirt (and, possibly, more) as Doug, a super hot but mite dim teenager on summer holiday who falls in with a married woman, Lena. It turns out Lena is married to a an abusive alcoholic, and Doug – whose virginity she takes – may well be her means out, which leads to some dark turns indeed.
($24.99 Blu-ray, $19.98 DVD; Lionsgate)
In this peculiar and darkly humorous bit of dystopian sci-fi that could well fit into Spike Jonze’s roundhouse, single people have 45 days to find a mate, lest they be transformed into an animal. When Colin Farrell’s everyman character, David, is ditched by his wife for another man, the clock starts ticking – and he faces a future as a lobster unless he gets hitched again soon. Might Rachel Weisz prove a match? And what about the fates of fellow single men Ben Whishaw and John C. Reilly? The English language debut of Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, this is not your everyday romcom! Extras include a featurette.
