My OutReach Awards Banquet outfit
Allison-M posted a photo:
Yes, you’ve seen me in this Bisou Bisou dress, this belt, and this red hair on this Flickr photostream before. It’s the setting that’s different: Last Friday (10/6), I had the wonderful privilege of getting dolled up and attending the 25th annual OutReach Awards Banquet, which is put on by Madison’s LGBT-oriented community center and honors groups and individuals whose work has promoted equality and quality of life for the LGBT community.
It was a true honor and a thrill to be in the same room as those who have been a big and important part of Madison’s LGBT community, and to see this year’s honorees receive and accept the recognition they undoubtedly deserve. It was awesome, too, to see two shining stars of Madison’s and Wisconsin’s LGBT community, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan and U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin, deliver keynote speeches about staying strong and positive in withstanding the adversity our community has been facing here in 2017 and will, unfortunately, continue to do so in the near future.
What was truly awesome as well was the chance to share this evening with several members of the trans/CD support group I have had the privilege to become a part of in the past year. Their support and friendship have played a part in my stepping out as Allison. Without a doubt, 2017 has been the year in which I’ve stepped out the furthest from my closet’s security, and it’s been a great feeling to do so.
Former Trump Aide Carter Page Refuses to Testify Before Senate Panel in Russia Probe, Says He’ll Plead 5th
Former Trump advisor Carter Page is refusing to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee in the Russia probe and says he’ll plead the 5th, Politico reports:
A former naval-officer-turned-energy consultant, Page came under fire last year after reports emerged that he had met with high-level associates of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow in 2016. While Page denied those meetings occurred, the Trump campaign distanced itself from the adviser not long after, with former officials saying that Page and Trump had never met.
Page also attracted attention earlier this year after it was revealed that he once came under scrutiny by the FBI for his contact with a Russian intelligence operative in New York City in 2013.
Page previously said “[I have] no intention to plead the Fifth, since I’ve never done anything wrong.”
The White House claimed in the spring that Trump didn’t even know page, but Trump hitched himself to the former aide in tweets made on May 31.
As Towleroad’s Luis Damian Veron reported previously:
A partially-corroborated dossier on Trump regarding Russian intelligence operations surrounding his candidacy and campaign also led to a wiretap authorization for one of his aides, Carter Page, to investigate his ties to Russian agents, according to American officials briefed on the investigation.
The warrant was issued to the FBI last summer by a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge due to probable cause that Page was working as an agent of a foreign power, namely Russia. The dossier made headlines earlier this year for some of its more salacious details pertaining to compromising information Russia is alleged to have gathered on Trump.
Page has stated he will file a lawsuit asserting that he had been improperly surveilled, although the warrant had been obtained through proper channels. He has also laughably compared himself to Martin Luther King, Jr. as an unjust target for surveillance. While claiming that the FBI acted out of political motivation, he hasn’t explained why he in particular would be singled out among several Trump campaign officials, or referenced how he had identified as a contact for a Russian undercover agent as early as 2013. He claimed in that case that he had been unaware of the spy’s true nature.

Yvonne Strahovski, Luke Hemsworth, Courtney Act, and more Australian stars take a stand in support of marriage equality
GLAAD today released a video featuring some of the most well-known Australian celebrities encouraging Aussies to vote ‘Yes’ in the country’s marriage equality survey. Australia is in the final weeks of its national postal survey and some leading stars of film and television are joining together with GLAAD to encourage all Australians to “Vote Yes!” in this pivotal moment for LGBTQ equality. While non-binding and voluntary, should the majority vote ‘Yes,’ Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said that he would introduce pro-marriage equality legislation to a free vote in Parliament. Polls have shown that 63% of Australians support marriage equality.
Yvonne Strahovski said, “As I’m sure you’re all well aware by now, Australians are currently deciding on the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry. Everybody has the right to love, and everyone has the right to choose who they love”
From Luke Hemsworth, “Don’t miss out on the chance to have your voice heard in this historic moment in Australian history… Vote yes!”
Check out the video below:
Hugh Sheridan added, “But what you might not know is that the current results indicate that the response is too close to call. So, let’s get Australia on the right side of history… post your ballot. Post. Your. Ballot.”
Courtney Act said, “The time has come for all Australians to be able to marry the person they love.”
