Gay “Drag Race” Judge Goes On Crazed Twitter Rant, Slams The Clintons And Obamas

Last month, frequent RuPaul‘s Drag Race guest judge and music producer Lucian Piane took to Twitter to loudly voicie his dislike of Hillary Clinton in a series of frantic Tweets.

Over the last 24 hours, he’s been at it again, shuttling out an endless onslaught of Tweets and Instagram posts attacking Hillary Clinton (“unite to help take down the Clinton Pedophilia Foundation…”) and the Obamas.

He also wants everyone to leave Susan Sarandon alone, and insists he’s writing Bernie Sanders’ name on his ballot, and so should we.

Reluctant to leave any social media channel untarnished, Piane then turned his tweaky trash talk to Instagram:

Piane was later struck with the idea of writing in Bernie Sanders’ name on his ballet this Tuesday:

?Fuck this election. I’m voting for @BernieSanders. Be a leader, not a follower. We can do it.#BERNIEorBUST #TakeBackAmerica

— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) November 3, 2016

He wants everyone to leave Susan Sarandon alone, too:

Love @SusanSarandon preaching truth on @CNN right now. I wish she would help resuscitate enthusiasm for @BernieSanders. #TakeBackAmerica

— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) November 3, 2016

It goes on. And on. And on and on.

Hillary Clinton to LGBT Voters: ‘I Will Always Have Your Back’

Hillary Clinton detailed her record on LGBT rights and her plans to continue fighting for them if elected president in a new interview.

Speaking with Chris Johnson of The Washington Blade, Clinton was unequivocal about the stakes of the 2016 race. Said Clinton, “LGBT rights are absolutely on the ballot in this election.” She added, “We have so much more work to do, and I want LGBT people in every corner of this country to know that as president, I will always have your back.”

Clinton said she would make fighting anti-LGBT discrimination a “top priority” and would work to pass the Equality Act, combat bullying and ban conversion therapy:

We’ll also take on harassment, bullying, and violence – and youth homelessness, which disproportionately hurts LGBT kids. We’ll end the harmful practice of so-called “conversion” therapy for minors, because LGBT kids don’t need to be “cured” of anything. And we’ll bring people together to reform our gun laws and keep guns from falling into the wrong hands, so that what happened at Pulse never happens again.

Clinton also reminded voters that many of the strides made during the Obama administration in the fight for LGBT equality are thanks to executive orders President Obama signed–orders that could be repealed if Trump wins the election. Clinton promised to “protect” and “build on” those executive orders if elected:

We’ll make sure we’re enforcing the President’s executive actions in a real and meaningful way. And we’ll support the efforts that are already underway in the courts and across the federal government to clarify that protecting people from “sex discrimination” means protecting them from discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation, too.

The former Secretary of State defended the Clinton Foundation and its record of expanding access to HIV/AIDS medication for millions of people around the world.

Asked to comment on Donald Trump’s “ask the gays” remark, in which he implied that he had a better record on LGBT issues than Clinton, the candidate responded, “I’ll gladly put my record on LGBT rights next to Trump’s for the voters to decide any day!”

Clinton went on to remind voters of just how anti-LGBT Trump really is:

He’ll appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn marriage equality, and said he’ll repeal President Obama’s executive actions to protect LGBT people from discrimination. And in case there’s any doubt about the kind of president he would be, look who he chose for his running mate: Governor Mike Pence, who signed a law that allowed Indiana businesses to legally discriminate against LGBT customers. We also know that Donald Trump has a long track record of bullying, harassment, and discrimination in his businesses, including reportedly against LGBT employees.

Of her own record on LGBT rights, Clinton said,

LGBT equality is an issue that’s so close to my heart. As First Lady, I fought to expand funding for HIV and AIDS research – and became the first First Lady to march in a Pride parade. As Senator from New York, I championed legislation to address hate crimes, fought for federal non-discrimination legislation to protect LGBT Americans in the workplace, and pushed for an end to discriminatory and harmful laws that blocked LGBT Americans from adopting children. As Secretary of State, I led the effort to pass the first-ever U.N. Resolution on LGBT Human Rights, launched the Global Equality Fund, ended State Department regulations that denied same-sex couples and their families equal rights, helped implement LGBT-friendly workplace policies, and updated the State Department’s policy so that transgender individuals’ passports reflect their true gender.

Clinton also promised to veto the so-called ‘First Amendment Defense Act’, a federal ‘religious liberty’ bill that would legalize anti-LGBT discrimination.

She reiterated her commitment to an AIDS-free generation, saying,

…as president I will convene an “End the Epidemic” working group to end AIDS as an epidemic in the United States and globally. Here at home, we’ll expand the availability of HIV prevention medications like PrEP, take on disparities and barriers to accessing care, cap out-of-pocket drug costs, and launch a campaign to end stigma and discrimination. Around the world, we’ll dramatically increase the number of people on HIV treatment through programs like PEPFAR, increase our investment in HIV and AIDS research, and engage in public education campaigns in key countries where stigma and discrimination are rampant.

Discussing the disproportionate violence facing transgender women of color, Clinton said we have to fight for “strong anti-discrimination laws” and do a “a better job of collecting data on gender identity and sexual orientation, because we can’t solve the problem of discrimination until we understand its full scope.” She added, “Most of all, it’s far past time we say with one voice that transgender people are valued, they are loved, they are us, and they deserve to be treated that way.”

Meet the Candidates: Oregon's Kate Brown

Kate Brown has already made history as the first LGBT female governor and the first bisexual, but now she’s hoping to be elected to finish what she started.

Are Bryan Singer And Olympic Diver Chris Mears A Thing?

The last we heard from famed X-Men producer/director Bryan Singer, he was announcing his upcoming fatherhood with best friend and Queer As Folk actress Michelle Clunie.

While we don’t have an update on Dashiell Julius William Clunie-Singer, who will be celebrating his second birthday soon (time flies), there is a potential bit of news in another area of Singer’s jet-setting life.

An Instagram photo from Singer’s account with British Olympic diver Chris Mears shows the two getting awfully chummy:

And hey, maybe “chummy” is as far as it goes with the pair, but the interwebs have taken notice of the apparent intimacy in the snapshot.

“Bryan’s hand is on Chris’s arm and it look like his other arm is laying on his leg. That’s a couple pose,” said one sleuth in a comment thread committed to the topic.

“They’ve been ‘friends’ for a while,” pointed out another amateur Sherlock, directing attention to a Twitter photo from May of the two:

Amazing to catch up with @BryanSinger tonight at the European Championships! Good luck with the new X-Men film ?? pic.twitter.com/P9pn2KU5qC

Singer and Mears also attended Glee actor Matthew Morrison’s Halloween party last weekend, along with the likes of Taylor Lautner, JC Chasez and Chance Crawford.

We’ll have to leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions, but we can certainly understand Mears’ appeal:

‘Drag Race’ Judge Lucian Piane Attacks the Obamas, Implies Clintons Are Murderers in Latest Tweet Storm

RuPaul’s Drag Race judge and music producer Lucian Piane is again sounding off on Twitter about the 2016 election.

In a series of tweets sent over the past 24 hours, Piane called Michelle Obama an “idiot”, called President Obama campaigning for Hillary “an atrocious abuse of power”, used Trumpian syntax to label Hillary supporter and actress Laura Benanti as “lost” and a “loser”, implied that the Clintons have murdered people and threatened Bernie Sanders and his family, said that Hillary Clinton has Parkinson’s, and called on “the gays…to unite to help take down the Clinton Pedophilia Foundation.”

On Instagram, Piane said the Obamas are corrupt.

Piane also said he would be voting for Bernie Sanders in the general election next Tuesday, presumably writing in his name given that he is not on the ballot.

🖕Fuck this election. I’m voting for @BernieSanders. Be a leader, not a follower. We can do it.#BERNIEorBUST #TakeBackAmerica

— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) November 3, 2016

Piane went on to defend Susan Sarandon who recently announced she would be voting for Jill Stein.

Love @SusanSarandon preaching truth on @CNN right now. I wish she would help resuscitate enthusiasm for @BernieSanders. #TakeBackAmerica

— Lucian Piane (@RevoLucian) November 3, 2016

Piane previously drew the internet’s ire when he suggested that LGBT issues should not be a deciding factor in this election.

Neither RuPaul nor Logo (the network that airs Drag Race) have commented on Piane’s statements.

Read some more of Piane’s latest anti-Hillary tweets, complete with conspiracy theories, which he says are not theories but truth, below.

AHF’s Michael Weinstein Doubles Down On PrEP As A “Party Drug”

As much as we love their Out of the Closet thrift shops, it’s probably time for the gay community to put as much space as we can between ourselves and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Their president is going seriously off the rails.

In a new interview, Michael Weinstein repeated his out-of-touch rhetoric about how we all need to be using condoms — yeah, of course condoms are effective, but saying that it should be the only acceptable method of preventing HIV transmission is about as realistic as pushing for abstinence-only sex ed.

As you’ve probably heard, his group is pretty much the only major backer behind Proposition 60, a proposed law that sounds like a good idea but in practice would likely cause a lot of damage. Not only would it require condoms for porn shoots, it also includes a provision that would force the state to hire Michael Weinstein as a sort of porn czar for California. The law’s vague wording could mean that couples could be sued for shooting condomless sex videos in their own homes. And it could expose performers’ real-life details to stalkers.

Weinstein has a long legacy of stigmatizing people with HIV, and still has negative things to say about PrEP. “It’s often taken in conjunction with crystal meth and other party drugs,” he recently told NPR’s All Things Considered. “It’s really a get-out-of-jail-free card.”

The interviewer does not ask for sources for that claim, so maybe it’s true, but given the source we doubt it.

And this is the way Weinstein and AHF always operate, whether it’s about PrEP or porn. They insist that gay men are dangerous, and that we should all be using condoms all the time — an unrealistic expectation that is out of touch with reality.

Weinstein says that he’s just looking out for the safety of porn performers — oh, but he also refuses to meet with them, because they’ve called him names. Good grief.

So, Californians, remember to get out and vote — not just for president, but also no no no, a thousand times no, on Michael Weinstein’s Prop 60.

Wonder Woman Is Here to Save the World in New Trailer – WATCH

The second trailer for the Wonder Woman movie has just been released and we’re getting a bigger look at what to expect from Diana Prince in her solo big-screen effort.

To sum it up: Diana’s going to save the world and look fly as hell doing it.

Via The Hollywood Reporter: 

The trailer shows Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) looking at an old photo featured in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, confirming the narrative will include a modern day component with Wonder Woman looking back at World War I.

She encounters Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), who is on a mission to prevent World War I when he crash lands on an island and meets the Amazons. He tells them the coming war puts them “in more danger than you think,” and Diana quickly decides to do something about it.

Watch, below.
