You’ll never guess what this superfan did to get on ‘Ellen’
Joseph Nicolosi, ‘Ex-Gay’ Therapy Practitioner and Founder of NARTH, Dead at 70
Joseph Nicolosi, co-founder of the “ex-gay” therapy group NARTH (National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality) is dead at 70.
Nicolosi died from complications from the flu, The Daily Beast reports:
Nicolosi, 70, was a practitioner of conversion or reparative therapy, treatments intended to change a person’s sexual orientation that have been widely denounced by major medical associations—including the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and the American Psychological Association—and banned by legislation in five states: Vermont, Oregon, New Jersey, Illinois, and California.
Its unclear how many people Nicolosi harmed over the course of his life.
Stephen Fry met Nicolosi for a BBC program in 2013:

The Handmaid's Tale's New Teaser Depicts a Frightening Then and Now
The latest teaser for Hulu’s upcoming series The Handmaid’s Tale, based on the feminist dystopian novel, draws timely, frightening distinctions between life before the new regime and life after.
Comme des Garçons’ “amoeba-shaped garments” have the Internet divided: Is this fashion?
No, your wireless device didn’t drop acid while you were doing the dishes…
This is an all-too intimate glimpse of what just went down at a runway show for Comme Des Garçons’ Fall 2017 collection, with Rei Kawakubo’s creations generously described by W as an exploration of “silhouette, via bulbous, amoeba-shaped garments.”
The models have either been sternly instructed to look airy and confused as they stumble aimlessly down the catwalk like they’re collecting airborne pieces of lint, or they’re genuinely as bewildered as the rest of us.
Perhaps our tastes simply aren’t refined enough. As one Facebook fashion scion writes in the comments:
“It’s called wearable art. It is certainly not intended to function as actual clothing. Just enjoy the show.”
The counterpoint argument comes in various shades of:
“Is that the stuff you get out your vacuum?”
To be fair, it may be fully functional in protecting you from wire taps:
Help us understand:
Chris Hemsworth, Maxine Waters, Julian Assange, Italy, Charlie Hunnam, Mike Pence: HOT LINKS
WIRETAPPING. Pence won’t say if he believes Donald Trump’s claim: “What I can say is that the president and our administration are very confident that the congressional committees in the House and Senate that are examining issues surrounding the last election, the run-up to the last election, will do that in a thorough and equitable way.”
Julian Assange during a Jan. 3 interview with Fox’s Sean Hannity
LONDON. Brexit activist Nigel Farage meets with Julian Assange in London: “Buzzfeed was waiting outside the Embassy when Farage emerged. He wouldn’t say whether or not he was there to meet with Assange, though it’s a bit hard to imagine what else would bring him to the Embassy of Ecuador. “I never discuss where I go or who I see,” he told a Buzzfeed reporter. ”
MAKEOVER. Chris Hemsworth’s Thor got a haircut.
MICHAEL FLYNN. Former national security adviser lobbied for Turkish-linked firm after election: “President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn wrote an op-ed on Election Day calling for the U.S. to kick out an anti-government Turkish cleric without disclosing he was being paid by a firm linked to the Turkish government, according to documents newly filed with the Justice Department.”
MAXINE WATERS. On the Trump golden showers scandal…

HRC IS HONORING. Katy Perry and America Ferrera for LGBTQ advocacy.
CHARM OFFENSIVE. Donald Trump cajoles with Cruz, Rubio: “The meetings come as Trump continues to lob unsupported accusations at his predecessor in the White House, Barack Obama, alienating a potential source of guidance as he’s turned his focus toward selling a legislative agenda that he’ll need every possible ally to pass. That means wooing former rivals like Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul, whom Trump has spoken to several times since taking office, including this week, said Paul’s spokesman Sergio Gor.”
HAVE SEX, OFTEN. Charlie Hunnam’s recipe for staying fit.
ARKANSAS. Bill proposed to make marriage between a man and a woman: “Twenty Representatives and one Senator introduced House Bill 2098. Representative Stephen Meeks (R-Greenbrier) is the lead sponsor of the bill. HB2098 would not recognize marriages between two people of the same sex, even if the marriage happened in a different state or country. The bill states ‘Marriage shall be only between a man and a woman. A marriage between persons of the same sex is void.’ The bill joins at least fifteen other bills designed to limit the freedoms of Arkansas’ LGBT community.”
SCOTT PRUITT. The new EPA chief is dangerous as hell.
ALABAMA. Drive-in that wouldn’t screen Beauty and the Beast also mistakenly booked a drag queen flick: That’s not in her comfort zone either.
ITALY. Court recognizes gay men as fathers to adopted children for first time: “The decision marks the first time that Italy has officially recognized an adoption in a different country by a gay couple. Florence’s Court for Minors issued the ruling on Wednesday, granting both children Italian citizenship…The decision differs from similar cases which have seen gay women allowed to adopt their partners’ biological children. And in February this year, two gay men were recognized as the legal fathers of a child born to a surrogate mother in America, the first time an Italian court ruled that a child had two fathers.”
THIRSTY THURSDAY. Naaser Al Massabi.

Hundreds of LGBTQ Advocates from Across the US Storm Capitol Hill for HRC’s 2017 Lobby Day
Today, HRC held its annual spring Lobby Day, joining hundreds of HRC members and volunteers on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and encourage support for issues critical to the LGBTQ community — from passing the Equality Act to opposing the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
“As Donald Trump continues to fill his administration with anti-LGBTQ appointees and pursue harmful, discriminatory executive orders, it is more important than ever for members of Congress — from both parties — to stand up for their LGBTQ constituents,” said HRC President Chad Griffin, who joined the effort on Capitol Hill. “HRC’s Lobby Day provides a vital opportunity for our grassroots army of volunteers to make the case for pro-equality policies and legislation directly to their members of Congress. We are grateful to the nearly 300 participants who made their voices heard today, and to the lawmakers who fight for the rights of their LGBTQ constituents.”
Participants held 218 meetings with Congressional offices to discuss issues critical to the LGBTQ community, including:
Additionally, a group of parents of transgender children from Virginia met with their representatives, expressing concerns about legislation and the current landscape facing transgender students and kids across the country who now find themselves under attack by the Trump administration. Participants in Lobby Day also expressed their concerns about Trump’s Departments of Justice and Education rescinding guidance regarding schools’ obligations to transgender students under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Check out some of the highlights from #HRCOnTheHill here and below.
HRC’s Lobby Day is a critical cornerstone of the organization’s federal advocacy efforts in Washington. HRC’s staff work throughout the year to win support for pro-LGBTQ legislation, at all levels of government. This work is complemented by the HRC members and volunteers who were able to talk to and influence their representatives, both on Lobby Day and throughout the year. This critical constituent feedback can help convince members of Congress to take a powerful stance on LGBTQ issues, and advocate for their constituents.
