Bette Davis who? Jessica Lange’s real-life feud is all too real.
Bette Davis who? Jessica Lange’s real-life feud is all too real.
“I feud in my head with people. Like now I’m carrying on a feud with Kellyanne Conway — in my head. I mean the thing is, really, if you got a script as an actor, and that script came to you and they preface it by saying, ‘You’ve been offered this part.’ Your agent calls — ‘You’ve been offered this part.’ One of the most important women in the government right, you know, she’s a council to the president, she’s a spokesperson. And then you pick up the script and read it and think, ‘They’ve got to be kidding.’ You’ve got a scene where you talk about ‘alternative facts? You’ve got a scene where you imagine the microwave is turning into a camera? I mean, you go to the inauguration dressed as a nutcracker? You can just hear that conversation with the actor. ‘Are you kidding me?’ Nobody’s going to take this character seriously, she’s a joke.”— Jessica Lange, when asked by Steven Colbert if she has any feuds of her own. We’re with you Jessica, we’re with you.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) and Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-VA) released a sharp rebuke of Donald Trump’s claim that Trump Tower was wiretapped by President Obama or under surveillance.
“Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016.”

Here’s some handsome, openly gay divers who just made history
Here’s some handsome, openly gay divers who just made history
Virginia Tech believed they’d never had an athlete come out publicly as LGBT, until last week, that is. And not just one.
Even more notable: at the NCAA Zone A Championships hosted by Virginia Tech and held in Christiansburg, Va., five out LGBTQ men’s divers competed (one requested not to be named in the below video).

Old Dominion junior Cory Moreno, Drexel freshman Anthony Musciano, West Virginia junior Alex Obendorf, and Harvard junior David Pfeifer made history in what is believed to be the largest group of out divers to ever compete at the event.
“That’s a big thing, especially for just one zone,” said Obendorf, who came out publicly in 2014. “I personally wouldn’t think there would be that many [LGBT] people here.”

Time cover story highlights evolving gender identities
Time cover story highlights evolving gender identities
In the new issue of Time Magazine, an article titled “Infinite Identities” is featured on the cover, drawing on a GLAAD-commissioned survey to explore the evolution of gender and sexual identity in younger (Millennial) generations. The survey found that 20% of Millennials identify as something other than strictly cisgender and straight, as compared to 7% of Baby Boomers.
The article points out that some feel as though there are more people than ever identifying as LGBTQ, but that this is likely a result of growing rates of acceptance—individuals who are coming out as LGBTQ are doing so because they feel more comfortable than they may have in prior years.
“There have been the generations that have lived by the rules and those generations that break the rules,” GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis tells Time magazine. Young people today, she says, are “redefining everything.”
The Time article discusses the idea of rejecting binaries, meaning that it is more likely in the Millennial generation that someone will identify as bisexual, pansexual, or asexual than simply “gay” or “straight,” as in the past. To a somewhat lesser extent, this is true of gender identity as well—rather than “man” or “woman,” Millennials are more likely to identify as gender nonconforming, genderqueer, or demi-fluid.
The piece also turns to older organizations or individuals within the LGBTQ movement, who have often used binary descriptions in their arguments for equality. By focusing on how gender and sexual identities have evolved over time, the article begs for us to observe the generation gap that has arisen, even within the LGBTQ movement.

Republican says ‘demonic spirits’ using ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to turn kids gay. That escalated fast.
Republican says ‘demonic spirits’ using ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to turn kids gay. That escalated fast.
Unswervingly creepy Colorado state congressman Gordon Klingenschmitt is quite certain demons helped executive-produce the upcoming live-action Beauty and the Beast film.
Their endgame: Turn the innocent children into homosexuals.

Disney has faced a certain amount of heat from religious zealots since it became known that there’d be a gay character in the film.
Klingenschmitt is upset Le Fou is seen flagrantly dancing with another man in the film, and he made these feelings known during a recent broadcast of his talk show, Pray In Jesus’ Name.
“Demonic spirits,” he says, are using BATB to “recruit children into sin.”
As Right Wing Watch reports, the evangelical talking head recommended “a boycott of the movie”:
“I recommend that Christian parents avoid having their children recruited into the homosexual agenda.
Behind the human actors, the Disney Corporation and the owners thereof are intentionally promoting sin to children. When we discern through the moral lens of human interaction with the demonic spirits, pride is a demonic spirit. Sexual immortality is demonic, but what about pride?
Homosexuals proudly marching in the streets… pride is the sin of arrogance, thinking that you’re smarter than God, your creator. If God made you male and female, but you want to be confused and celebrate the sin of being sexually immoral, there is a demonic spirit behind that.
This all culminated in a fiery prayer to “stop the recruiting of our children into the sinful lifestyle of homosexuality.”
“Father,” he begged, “protect America from using cartoons to recruit children into sin.”
His prayers have been answered, as Beauty and the Beast is live-action.
