Emin, Jamal Jordan, Matternet, Suri Cruise, Steve Schmidt, Jimmy Fallon, Lucky Charms, LGBTQ Monument: HOT LINKS
STEVE SCHMIDT. Trump’s “only affinity for reading anything were the Adolf Hitler speeches he kept on his nightstand.”
$2. Suri Cruise sold lemonade from a stand at NYC Pride. “They had rainbow Rice Krispies treats and lemonade with signs all around their table for Pride. She was very sweet and kind, telling everyone to enjoy their day and would smile whenever someone walked past! Very sweet.”
COLLUSION. Robert Mueller planning to accelerate probe: “Mueller and his team of prosecutors and investigators have an eye toward producing conclusions — and possible indictments — related to collusion by fall, said the person, who asked not to be identified. He’ll be able to turn his full attention to the issue as he resolves other questions, including deciding soon whether to find that Trump sought to obstruct justice.”
JIMMY FALLON. Clapping back at Trump’s tweet:
GOOD FRIENDS. Bryan Adams was asked if he had a romantic involvement with Princess Diana.
NO DUE PROCESS. Trump doesn’t want judges. “I want ICE and border patrol agents.”
DEPLORABLE. Trump supporter berates Mexican man in racist rant:
STARBUCKS. Expanding benefits for transgender people: “Starbucks health insurance plans include not only gender reassignment surgery (which had been covered since 2012), but now also a host of procedures for transgender partners that were previously considered cosmetic, and therefore not covered, such as breast reduction or augmentation surgery, facial feminization, hair transplants and more.”
MONUMENT. Tribute to the LGBTQ community debuts in NYC. ‘Nearly a year after it was first announced, New York City’s first official memorial dedicated to the LGBTQ community is set to debut in Hudson River Park. Governor Andrew Cuomo, along with City Council speaker Corey Johnson, Senator Brad Hoylman, and other elected officials, unveiled the monument, two years in the making, which is intended to honor “the LGBT community, those lost in the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting in June 2016, and all victims of hate, intolerance and violence.”’
CONCERT NEWS. Madonna rumored to headline Glastonbury Festival. “Despite a career spanning more than 30 years, she has never appeared at Somerset’s Worthy Farm and is the top pick for the event as she gears up for the release of her 14th studio album.”
UNBELIEVABLE COMBO OF THE DAY. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus. “It wasn’t hard to spot the men from the chorus; they were the ones wearing purple T-shirts with the name of the organization emblazoned across their chests. But otherwise, they blended in with their fellow performers as choir conductors Mack Wilberg and Ryan Murphy led them through segments of songs to be performed at Monday night’s concert, the fourth stop of the choir’s 2018 Classic Coast Tour.”
JAMAL JORDAN. Photographer seeks to bring people of color into the imagery of queer life. “As a visual journalist, I believe pictures can connect with people in a way that other forms of media can’t. To this end, I decided to give a gift to my younger self: the imagery of queer love I’ve never seen. Queer love in color.”
MATTERNET. Drone delivery service raises $16 million. “Matternet’s technology and proven track record make the development of a safe, global autonomous air mobility system a near-term reality,” Boeing HorizonX Ventures Managing Director Brian Schettler said in a statement. “Between the company’s success in Switzerland and being selected by the FAA to test unmanned aerial networks in the U.S., we are excited to work together to reimagine how the world connects and shape the next generation of transportation solutions.”
PRESIDENT NEWS. George H.W. Bush visits with Bill Clinton.
Special visit today with a great friend — and now, a best-selling author. Luckily I had a freshly laundered pair of @BillClinton socks to mark the occasion. pic.twitter.com/v9jb4sRexh

RECIPE OF THE DAY. Gourmet Lucky Charms.
PEE TAPE VIDEO OF THE DAY. Trump-linked singer Emin. “The singer, who goes by just his first name, fills the video with scandalous Trump nods. There’s even a reference to the 2013 Miss Universe pageant complete with a hotel room party.”
TOO SUDSY FOR TUESDAY. Knin Michael.

LGBTQ Athletes Make History in ESPN The Magazine’s 2018 Body Issue
LGBTQ Athletes Make History in ESPN The Magazine’s 2018 Body Issue
The 10th anniversary edition of ESPN The Magazine’s Body Issue made history this week by featuring three out LGBTQ athletes — the most in the history of the striking annual photo portfolio. WNBA All-Star Sue Bird, women’s soccer standout Megan Rapinoe and skating Olympian Adam Rippon all grace the pages of the 2018 issue.
Bird and Rapinoe, who are pictured together and have been dating since since 2016, became the first LGBTQ couple in the magazine’s history to pose together.
“Having a gay couple on there hopefully just becomes the norm,” Bird said in a video interview with Rapinoe for espnW. “For us to be on it is the first step in that direction.”
Past issues have featured LGBTQ athletes including Rapinoe (2014), duathlete Chris Mosier, the first transgender athlete to be featured, and Olympic diver Greg Louganis (2016) and Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy (2017). LGBTQ representation in athletics is incredibly important, with visibility paving the way for other athletes to feel more comfortable living their truths.
In an interview with espnW last summer, Bird came out as lesbian and confirmed she was in a relationship with Rapinoe. The Seattle Storm star reflected on her journey, saying she decided 2017 was the right time for her to come out publicly. She also encouraged others to come out at a time that felt most authentic to them.
“It’s happening when it’s happening because that’s what feels right,” Bird said in the interview. “I have to be true to that. It’s my journey.”

This is the second time Rapinoe has posed for the Body Issue — she became the first openly LGBTQ athlete featured in the magazine in 2014.
Rapinoe is a professional soccer player who competes for the Seattle Reign FC in the National Women’s Soccer League. As a member of the 2015 U.S. Women’s National Soccer team, she helped Team USA to a FIFA Women’s World Cup gold medal.
Rapinoe came out as lesbian in 2012 in an interview with Out magazine and since then has been a trailblazer working tirelessly for the rights of LGBTQ athletes.
“I feel everyone is really craving [for] people to come out,” Rapinoe said in the interview. “People want — they need — to see that there are people like me playing soccer for the good ol’ U.S. of A.”
A longtime HRC supporter, Rapinoe joined HRC’s #LoveConquersHate campaign in 2013 in support of Russia’s LGBTQ community ahead of the Sochi Olympic Games.

Rippon made history as the first openly gay U.S. American male figure skater to compete in the Winter Olympics. Before heading to Pyeongchang, he sat down in an exclusive interview with HRC’s Mark Lee to discuss this powerful moment and what it means for LGBTQ history.
“I couldn’t have done this [shoot] while I was in the closet,” Rippon told ESPN. “I think that with my experience of coming out, I felt so liberated in so many ways.”
Earlier this year, we presented Rippon with the HRC Visibility Award at the HRC Los Angeles Gala, where he gave an impassioned speech about being a role model to LGBTQ youth and empowering and encouraging those around us to be confident in their authentic selves.
Getting to shoot @espn’s Body Issue was amazing, but being one of their covers is so awesome, unreal, and honestly WTFFFF!!! ☠️������⛸ pic.twitter.com/xLe6cdoUhA

Fashion Designer Christian Siriano and Husband Brad Walsh Split
Fashion designer Christian Siriano and Brad Walsh have separated after almost two years of marriage, Walsh revealed in an Instagram story (below) on Monday.
Wrote Walsh: “Bit more than a month ago my husband and I separated. I was contacted by a writer for a website who somehow found out, so rather than let them break it, I’m telling you myself. It’s nobody’s business and I don’t want to discuss, but that’s what up.”
The couple was together for 11 years and married in July 2016.
