John Stamos Shares Steamy Shower Shot With “Scream Queens” Costar Glen Powell

So, as John Stamos’ Twitter account indicates, there was a sexually arousing shower scene in Tuesday’s episode of Scream Queens.

As Entertainment Weekly reports, Stamos and actor Glen Powell shared an usually fleshy moment in the locker room, leading one Twitter user to suggest it was probably an uncomfortable scene for the men to film.

Stamos demurred:

Well yeah, it could have been awkward. It was pretty awkward, but Glen is so damn funny. I at least wore a G-string or something, but he wore a very tiny… a medium-sized sock.We laughed a whole lot. We did a lot of pushups; he likes to do pushups. He likes a lot of oil, there’s a lot of oiling up. I swear we ran out of oil on that scene.”

He previously told EW he thinks it’s only fair that male actors bare it all.

“Well, it’s about time,” he said, because you know it’s the girls all the time, so let’s put the guys to work.”

Behind The Scenes Of ‘Will & Grace’ Reunion Is A Heaping Dose Of Nostalgia

Your love of 90s nostalgia just got triggered: the cast of Will and Grace has reunited for a video about how voting only matters in swing states, and it’s like the last 15 years have melted away and we’re all living in a world of sitcoms.

Check out the behind the scenes video below for shots of the cast together, holding iPhones that were just a twinkle in the eye of Steve Jobs back when the gang was originally on the air.

Seeing them gather around a table to read their scripts, hanging out on a recreation of their original set, and standing under ridiculous TV lights that look nothing like a real human environment is an unmitigated delight.

Also fascinating: the army of staff who assembled to make their video possible. So many camera people! Makeup people! To say nothing of post-production! Jim Burroughs is there to direct! Norman Lear is also evident hanging around on set, posing with the stars.

One question that remains unanswered: who paid for all this? It must’ve been crazy expensive to build this set, hire all these extremely expensive people, and edit the whole thing together. Where’d the money for this come from? With Norman Lear present, maybe it’s People for the American Way. But we may never know the truth.

Fun fact: students of gay marriage history will recall that back in 2008, the cast of Will and Grace shot an ad telling Californians to vote no on Proposition 8. At the time, it looked like Will & Grace might get cancelled, and the showrunners were afraid that the ad would anger NBC and so they pleaded with the No On 8 campaign not to use it. So instead of airing the commercial, the campaign simply put out a press release that the commercial existed, and that got them a ton of publicity without even having to put it on the air. Clever girls.

Seth Meyers Explains How Trump Lost the First Debate Despite His Absurdly Low Expectations – WATCH

Seth Meyers took a closer look at the fallout from the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Tuesday night.

Of particular interest to Meyers was how Trump managed to lose the debate despite the astoundingly low expectations set for him by his own supporters.

Meyers joked that in order to win, Clinton basically had “to act like a ninja bank robber weaving through a web of red lasers meanwhile Trump just has to be a C+ Walmart greeter.”

By the standards his own supporters set, “all Trump had to do is be a normal person and he would have been declared the winner and yet he still managed to lose,” Meyers quipped.

Space Declared LGBTQ Friendly as Pride Flag is Sent 21.1 Miles Over Earth: WATCH

The global nonprofit organization Planting Peace just sent a Pride flag into space for the first time, to make a point:

On August 17, Planting Peace sent the first pride flag into space, and in doing so, declared space LGBTQ friendly. The primary purpose of this declaration is to support the ongoing fight for the fundamental human rights of our LGBTQ family, moving us closer to a universal understanding that all people deserve to live freely and love freely without fear and discrimination.

To achieve this, we used a high altitude balloon with a GoPro attached, and launched just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The pride flag was airborne for just over three hours before making its way back to earth. At its peak altitude, the flag soared 21.1 miles above the earth’s surface.

Our hope was to create the largest safe SPACE possible for our LGBTQ community. It also offered us a chance to reinforce, in a peaceful, beautiful way, our ongoing message to our LGBTQ family:

You are loved, valued and beautiful.

There is nothing wrong with you.

You are not alone, and we will stand with you.

Now if Elon Musk could just get us to Mars.

‘Arizona Republic’ Backs Hillary Clinton: First-Ever Endorsement of a Democrat for President

The paper used to be called The Arizona Republican, and last night they did something they’ve never done – endorsed a Democratic nominee for president.

The paper writes:

Since The Arizona Republic began publication in 1890, we have never endorsed a Democrat over a Republican for president. Never. This reflects a deep philosophical appreciation for conservative ideals and Republican principles.

This year is different.

The 2016 Republican candidate is not conservative and he is not qualified.

That’s why, for the first time in our history, The Arizona Republic will support a Democrat for president.

The paper goes on to cite Clinton’s breadth of experience, and bangs Trump for keeping his tax returns a secret:

Trump hasn’t even let the American people scrutinize his tax returns, which could help the nation judge his claims of business acumen.

And it gets more brutal:

Trump responds to criticism with the petulance of verbal spit wads.

That’s beneath our national dignity.

When the president of the United States speaks, the world expects substance. Not a blistering tweet…

…

Trump’s inability to control himself or be controlled by others represents a real threat to our national security. His recent efforts to stay on script are not reassuring. They are phony.

The president commands our nuclear arsenal. Trump can’t command his own rhetoric.

And it goes on.

The paper concludes by saying that Clinton “can move us beyond rancor and incivility” unlike Trump who “offers a recipe for permanent civil discord.”

Roy Moore’s Hate is No Laughing Matter

This post originally appeared on www.al.com

By Paul Hard, a licensed counselor and a counselor educator at AUM. He filed a lawsuit in Alabama seeking recognition for his marriage after the death of his husband. 

In the name of God, they mocked the death of a good man.

On August 8th in front of the Alabama Supreme Court, I was sharing my story about how I lost my husband in a tragic accident, and a group of Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore’s supporters laughed at me. A man jeered, tauntingly, over my words: “you can’t have a husband!” This heckler, who opposes my rights because he claims to be “Christian,” was there to support Roy Moore, who from the highest court in the state has consistently tried to tell LGBTQ Alabamians the same thing: you can’t be married; that’s not for you.

This is not the first time my marriage was demeaned and belittled. And, this was not the first time that it was done so in the name of Roy Moore.

That hot August day, I had arrived at the courthouse steps with the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ rights groups to witness Roy Moore’s ethics trial. Moore was suspended from the bench this spring, after judicial ethics charges were brought against him due to his actions around marriage equality in Alabama. It was there that a group of Moore’s most radical supporters – mostly holding aloft religious signs and preaching eternal damnation – had gathered. It was there that people preaching about the sanctity of life were denying the dignity of LGBTQ lives. These people were assembled to cheer on Roy Moore’s discriminatory actions.

By now you know the story: since 2015, Moore has used every possible tactic available to him as the head of the Alabama Supreme Court in order to block marriage equality. He did it deliberately, he did it consistently and he did it because of his own personal agenda.

For proof of his radical agenda, look no further than the group he enlisted to help him fight his ethics charges: the Liberty Counsel. This group, headed by Mat Staver, has defended Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis and champions anti-LGBTQ discrimination around the world. It is infamous for fighting against the rights of people like me.

The rhetoric and legal tactics of people like Roy Moore and the Liberty Counsel can have disastrous real-world effects.

I legally married my late husband David Fancher in Massachusetts in 2011, but he was killed in an accident in Alabama just over two months later. Because my marriage was not recognized as valid in Alabama, I was not able to be recognized as a surviving spouse, and I was unable to collect damages from a wrongful death lawsuit because we were legal strangers according to Alabama law.

I was not recognized as David’s surviving spouse until the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of a constitutional right to marriage for all. This ruling came four excruciating years after my late husband’s death, and many months after U.S. District Judge Callie Granade ruled that Alabama must offer marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Throughout my struggle with recognition, the last person in Alabama holding up the recognition of my marriage was Roy Moore.

On August 8th, Moore and his supporters held a press conference following the conclusion of the hearing, which set another trial date for September 28th. As Moore, a man who has made my life more difficult, spoke, our group of LGBTQ Alabamians and allies waited quietly to say our piece.

As we began to hold our own press conference, Moore’s supporters wandered over and began to shout us down: heckling, booing, laughing at us. These so-called Christians spewed venom at us, and did so in the name of God, and in the name of Roy Moore.

The God I know would not condone laughter at another man’s pain, and He certainly wouldn’t support cruelty in His name.

Today, September 28th, I will be at the Alabama Supreme Court again, to hear the final decision on Moore’s fate. Moore’s supporters will likely be there, too, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last five years, it’s to not back down from a bully who says I am anything less than equal.

Roy Moore has used his position of power to bully LGBTQ Alabamians. His words have emboldened his fanatical supporters, and his actions have harmed those who he was sworn to protect. He is unethical, and unfit to serve our state. 

It’s time for Roy Moore to be dismissed, and I’ll be there to send him off.

OneOrlando Fund Begins to Distribute Funds

The OneOrlandoFund, established after the gun tragedy in Orlando’s Pulse nightclub took the lives of 49 innocent people, announced this week that it will begin distributing nearly $30 million to survivors of the June crime.  

The average age of the victims was 29, and almost every one of them was Latinx. They were  “brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors, husbands and wives. But above all, they were human beings,” HRC President Chad Griffin said yesterday in Orlando at the launch of the 2016 Vocal Majority Tour urging voters supporting commonsense gun violence prevention laws to vote in November..

Following the Pulse tragedy, the city of Orlando, Equality Florida and the LGBT Community Center of Central Florida established the OneOrlando Fund to help those affected by the deadly attack..

According to The Washington Post, the fund received donations from 150,000 individuals and companies in more than 120 countries.

“In total, $29.5 million was donated to the OneOrlando Fund,” the OneOrlando Fund reported. “Today, the Board approved the allocation of funds to 299 claimants in four categories – deceased, injured with hospitalization, injured with outpatient treatment and present inside Pulse.”

Additionally, LGBTQ leaders in Orlando came together to form The LGBTQ Alliance and partnered to create The Heal Orlando Project. HRC encourages everyone to visit healorlando.org/ to access support or lend a hand to Pulse survivors and victims’ families.

For too long, a toxic combination of anti-LGBTQ hate and easy access to guns has put LGBTQ people at disproportionate risk of violence and murder. The tragic killing of 49 innocent people on Latin Night at Pulse nightclub in Orlando — young lives taken solely because of who they were — has rocked our nation to its core. It’s time to stop the hate. Learn more here.
