AARON SCHLOSSBERG. NYC racist threatens to call ICE on people speaking Spanish, then gets banned from entering his office building.
New York City’s diversity is our strength. It’s what makes this city great. The 8.6 million people who call this city home speak more than 200 languages – they’re all New Yorkers and they’re all welcome here.

CNN’S JIM ACOSTA. I was just as tough on Obama. “It is funny that your last name is ‘Acosta’ and you’re constantly ‘accosting’ people,” Kimmel laughed. “It’s almost like you were born to do this.”
REP MO BROOKS. Global sea level rise is not because of global warming but because rocks are falling into sea. “Brooks then said that erosion plays a significant role in sea-level rise, which is not an idea embraced by mainstream climate researchers. He said the California coastline and the White Cliffs of Dover tumble into the sea every year, and that contributes to sea-level rise. He also said that silt washing into the ocean from the world’s major rivers, including the Mississippi, the Amazon and the Nile, is contributing to sea-level rise.
SEN RICHARD BLUMENTHAL. Giuliani is wrong. Trump could be indicted. “The president is not above the law, and an indictment — if that’s the course that Robert Mueller chooses to go — I believe would be upheld by the courts.”
HELEM. Lebanon’s refuge for LGBTQ people: “Tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood of Beirut, Helem, the first community centre for LGBTQI+ people in the Arab world, opens its doors every day from midday to evening. Everyone is welcome. Inside, in a study bathed by the afternoon sunshine, Wael Hussein, a 24-year-old gay man, is chatting with Naya, a transgender woman, ahead of International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB) on Thursday. Behind the two is a bookcase filled with donated titles, including Les Amantes by French lesbian writer Jocelyne François.”

Is Being LGBTQ Halal?
Is Being LGBTQ Halal?
For many Americans, the concept of halal, an Islamic dietary standard, is likely not something people associate with anything other than food. However, the Arabic word also means “lawful” or “permitted.”
As we mark Ramadan, our fundamental question here is – are LGBTQ people permitted in Islam?
Dr. Imam Ludovic Zahed, an Islamic scholar and founder of the first inclusive mosque in France, aims to tackle this important question at the Inclusive Islam Workshop, co-sponsored by Muslims for Progressive Values and HRC Foundation’s Religion and Faith Program.
The workshop, generously funded by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, explores ways in which sacred Islamic texts can be read to affirm the human rights of all individuals, with a particular emphasis on LGBTQ rights and Islam’s inherent values of inclusion and justice.
Two interactive workshops will take place, one in Dearborn, Michigan, on Monday, May 21, and another in Washington, D.C. on Friday, May 25, followed by breaking of Ramadan fast with iftar, sponsored by Muslims for Progressive Values.
This comes at a special time when the world’s 1.8 million Muslims celebrate the holy month of Ramadan. Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset to bring the faithful closer to God and remind them of the suffering of those less fortunate.
These workshops also come at a time when American Muslim support of LGBTQ equality is at an all-time high. According to a recent Public Religion Research Institute survey, almost two thirds of American Muslims favor non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people, including more than 35 percent who strongly support them. More than 50 percent of American Muslims now support marriage equality, up from 43 percent a few years ago.
General Muslim attittudes toward LGBTQ people — especially LGBTQ Muslims — remain complex. In 2014, HRC Foundation released Coming Home to Islam and to Self, a guide to help LGBTQ Muslims seeking to reconnect with their faith and build more inclusive communities.
Members of all faiths, race, backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities, those who are fasting and those who are not, are welcome to join the workshops and iftar. Contact [email protected] or [email protected] to learn more.

Bauer joins virulently anti-LGBTQ activist, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, on the Commission
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, today denounced the upcoming appointment of anti-LGBTQ activist Gary Bauer to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). President Trump announced that Johnnie Moore and Nadine Maenza, who also espouse anti-LGBTQ views, will be added to the USCIRF as well.
Gary Bauer has suggested LGBTQ activists want to criminalize Christianity and take kids from dissenting parents, and remarked that transgender people need to be counseled out of their truths. His full anti-LGBTQ record follows.
President’s Trump’s two additional picks for the USCIRF include Johnnie Moore, who claimed that Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” indoctrinates young people into being gay, and Nadine Maenza, who signed onto a group letter opposing the SCOTUS marriage ruling.
These three new picks follow the selection of activist Tony Perkins, who on Tuesday was appointed to the USCIRF on the recommendation of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Perkins, who serves as the president of the Family Research Council, a Southern Poverty Law Center designated anti-LGBTQ hate group, has an extensive anti-LGBTQ record including calling for Justice Kennedy to be impeached following his marriage equality ruling, and comparing LGBTQ advocates to terrorists.
“President Trump and Leader McConnell’s selections are anti-LGBTQ political operatives, not experts on religion,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. “The fact that anti-LGBTQ extremists like Gary Bauer and Tony Perkins will offer guidance on international issues to an administration that is already the most anti-LGBTQ in history is dangerous to LGBTQ people around the world.”
The role of the USCIRF is to review the facts and circumstances of violations of religious freedom internationally and make policy recommendations to the President, U.S. Secretary of State, and U.S. Congress.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Gary Bauer Extensive Anti-LGBTQ Record
— Insists Martin Luther King “would have been mortified” by LGBTQ rights advances
— Warns that marriage equality creates climate where “we really do risk God taking His hand of protection off of our country,” which he claims “could very well mean the end of the American experiment in liberty under God.”
— On supposed historical link to current marriage debate: “Our country fought a civil war over the idea that some matters are too important to be decided state by state. Just as slavery was an assault on human dignity, the redefinition of marriage is an assault on an institution at the foundation of successful families and civilizations.”
— Pushes inaccurate science: “More importantly, however, the government has an obligation to promote public policy that is best for the general welfare and to discriminate against behaviors that adversely impact society and public health. Tobacco use is heavily regulated by the state and smoking is strongly discouraged. A major study conducted by Oxford University demonstrated that homosexual conduct is three times more deadly than smoking. Homosexual behavior is fraught with adverse health affects. (sic) Again, this is not opinion, but documented medical fact.” (*The researchers behind that Oxford study, conducted at the height of the AIDS crisis, have condemned the way folks like Bauer have twisted their findings)
— Claims gay activists’ ultimate goal is to throw dissenters in jail: “The ultimate goal of homosexual-rights activists is not to legalize same-sex marriage. Rather, it is to silence those who disagree with them and, if necessary, to throw them in jail. In a world in which the biblical viewpoint of marriage is demonized, it does not take a constitutional scholar to predict that soon those who hold that view will find themselves in court.”
— Chose the Obama Administration’s choice to simply invite gay-headed families to the annual White House Easter Roll as one of the “100 Mistakes, Misstatements and Missteps in Obama’s First 100 Days”
— “Ex-gay” advocate against “the tragedy of homosexuality”: “Story after story calls for everything from new hate crimes laws, to same-sex marriage, to pro-homosexual education policies. But policies like these would only compound the tragedy of homosexuality. The message of ex-gay ministries is one of hope and healing. Their aim is to save lives and souls.”
— Warns that “[t]he words ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ will soon disappear from our lexicon altogether, having been banished as ‘hate speech’ as they are exclusionary and discriminatory.”
— Says marriage equality is “an incredible risk to our country and to our faith.” (22:55 in 1st clip)
— Says that things like the embrace of “the radical idea of men marrying other men” have increased gang culture, deteriorated the black family.
— Suggests LGBTQ activists want to criminalize Christianity and take kids from dissenting parents: “if we throw up our arms in frustration and surrender the political arena to the left, it will get a whole lot worse. We are headed toward the criminalization of Christianity. Let me explain. If a family were teaching its children that the KKK is the correct model for society, people would rightly be outraged. If Child Protective Services found out, that family would face the possibility of having its kids taken away for psychological child abuse. When it comes to same-sex marriage, the militant homosexual movement and its left-wing media allies have, unbelievably, taken the normal view of marriage and equated it with the kind of raw bigotry I just described. If we stop fighting, in short order you will not be able to teach your children that God intended them to marry someone of the opposite sex”
— Was behind one of the most mocked ads of the 2012 election cycle, claiming President Obama was going to force gay marriage on everyone
— Says transgender individuals need to be counseled out of their truths: “In a healthy society, we would be compassionately seeking counseling for people who cannot come to terms with their sex. But in America today, it’s the parents who must come to terms with their children’s transgenderism.”
— In late nineties, declared himself “immovable” on the topic of gay people needing to “get out” of “a destructive lifestyle”: “I will encourage anybody I can to get out of what I think is a destructive lifestyle. I don’t believe a healthy society can endorse, subsidize, or encourage it. I am sorry if this disappoints you, but again, on this, I am immovable.”
