Queer Eye food guru and avocado aficionado Antoni Porowski is planning to open a restaurant in New York City, revealing the news on a panel at the 92nd Street Y, Food & Wine reports.

Said Porowski: “I’m all about like cheese and pork belly and decadence, and as a result of the increased vanity of being on camera all the time and working out and eating healthy, I’m developing a fast-casual food concept restaurant that I’m gonna be opening here in New York.”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, because…Trump.

Tweeted Sanders: “Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, VA to leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left. Her actions say far more about her than about me. I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so”

Politico reports: “Owners of the Red Hen, which is located about 180 miles southwest of D.C., did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, on Friday night, Jaike Foley-Schultz, who described himself as a waiter at the Red Hen in Lexington, wrote on Facebook that he had just just served Sanders before she was asked to leave. Sanders did not mention family members in her account of the episode, but the post would seem to match what the press secretary tweeted Saturday.”

If the Supreme Court can decide that a baker can refuse services to gays, Red Hen can refuse services to thosd who lie to the public while smugly smiling. God Bless America.

Rhode Island Legislature Passes Bill to Ensure Death Certificates Accurately Reflect Gender Identity

Rhode Island Legislature Passes Bill to Ensure Death Certificates Accurately Reflect Gender Identity

Today, the Rhode Island Senate passed S.B. 2614. The bill, which now heads to Gov. Gian Raimondo, amends state law to require the sex designation on a decedent’s death certificate to accurately reflect their gender identity. By approving this bill, Rhode Island legislators have signaled that they support preserving the dignity and equality of all people, including transgender residents.

Furthermore, S.B. 2614 establishes a clear and efficient process for determining and recording a decedent’s gender identity when conflicting information exists.

Earlier this year, New Jersey passed similar legislation to ensure the accurate recording of decedents’ gender identity on death certificates.

HRC’s 2017 State Equality Index (SEI) classifies Rhode Island under the category of “Working Toward Innovative Equality.” The state currently has LGBTQ-inclusive non-discrimination laws covering employment, housing, public accommodations and adoption.

HRC continues to work to ensure that every state respects transgender residents’ gender identity on all government-issued documents.

More information on the SEI can be found here.
