IN TRUMP’S AMERICA.
Second Tampa Bay, Florida church vandalized with swastikas, MAGA graffiti: “The Iglesia el Sembrador Wesleyano, a church in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of Clearwater, Florida, was targeted by vandals this week with pro-Donald Trump and racist graffiti. It is the second reported incident of church vandalism in the Tampa Bay area since Donald Trump’s Electoral College win on November 8. The first church, similarly vandalized last month, primarily serves the LGBT community.”

BLONDE AMBITION. Kanye West got a dye job…as an homage to Frank Ocean? 

GREED IS GOOD. Donald Trump names Goldman Sachs President and COO Gary Cohn to be his National Economic Council Director. Because Drain the Swamp.

VICTORY. Montebello, California gets its first openly gay mayor: “It’s like coming out twice in your life: once to your family and then another time as a politician,” she said. “It’s like kicking off the mask. I’m being honest about who I am and let my leadership and decisions speak for themselves. I’m going to step into this new position and do the very best I can to get things done.”

HIV. Infection rates have gone up 100% in the Philippines: “[Human Rights Watch] said HIV prevention education in Philippine schools is woefully inadequate, commercial marketing of condoms is nonexistent, and barriers to condom access and HIV testing — particularly those below 18 who are required by law to have parental consent— have contributed to the worsening epidemic. The report said the problems found in national and local government policies are compounded by longstanding resistance of the Roman Catholic church to contraceptives. More than 80 percent of Filipinos are Catholic.”

Rudy GiulianiBYE, BYE RUDY. Giuliani out of the running for Secretary of State: “The transition team released a statement Friday saying Giuliani removed himself from consideration for a position last month, a description contradicted by CNN reporting that the New Yorker was told he would not get the secretary of state position this week.”

BRAZIL. Squatters offer LGBT people shelter from hate-motivated crimes: “They were invited to join some 300 squatters who have been living in the building for several months in an occupation organized by Front in the Fight for Housing, an activist group promoting rights of some 400,000 people without decent housing in Sao Paulo.”

slp_mdg_071216john_021johnjpgDISCRIMINATION. John Barrowman said he lost acting job because he’s gay: “Speaking on Loose Women , John explained: “The producers pulled me into the office and sat me down – one was gay – and said they didn’t want me to talk about my boyfriend at the time, Scott, who I eventually married…In a nutshell, they asked me to go back into the closet, and I went back to Scott and said, ‘I can’t do that’.”

PHILIPPINES. LGBT community faces increasing threats: “But the recent arrest of several gay men at a private party in south Jakarta’s Kalibata City was a shock for many, both because the raid was led by the right-wing Islamic Defender’s Front (FPI) party and because the police actually followed their lead.”

GUN SHOW. Nick Jonas serves thirst.

Film on Roger Ailes’ history of sexual harassment may be in the works: “According to multiple reports, Annapurna Pictureshas optioned a project about the former Fox News chairman that will include screenwriter Charles Randolph, who co-wrote the Oscar-winning The Big Short. […] The film “will focus on Megyn Kelly and the women who brought down the man once considered the most powerful in media with accusations of sexual harassment, as well as the wife, Elizabeth Tilson, who propped him up,” says The Hollywood Reporter.”

Out SNL Star Kate McKinnon Is Getting Her Own Movie

Out SNL Star Kate McKinnon Is Getting Her Own Movie

kate-mckinnon-ghostbusters

Kate McKinnon just landed another movie role, and it sounds appropriately weird and excellent: she will play Grunhilda, a witch who works in a school cafeteria. Nobody believes in magic anymore, but she gets her kicks scaring children until she forms an unlikely friendship with a student.

This follows her role in the lovely Ghostbusters sequel, and also Office Christmas Party, in theaters now. This new film is called The Lunch Witch, which is a little clunky and we wouldn’t be surprised if it gets retooled by the time the movie comes out. The director is Clay Kaytis, who directed the Angry Birds movie. That is not an encouraging sign but maybe maybe maybe Kate will be up to the task of making this movie good. Oh let’s hope so.

The story’s based on a novel by Deb Lucke, a former advertising industry exec. There’s already a sequel to the book — Knee Deep in Niceness — and a third is in the works, so if Kate can pull this off we may see her as a witch for many years to come.

Of course, the question on many of her fans’ minds: will she get to play it queer in this movie? Studio interference is rumored to have nixed the lesbian content in Ghostbusters, but maybe this movie will be different. Then again, a scary witch is maybe not the representation we want?
