EXPLAINER OF THE DAY. A very good illustration of the challenges of the Thailand cave rescue.
THE CHRISTENING. Scenes from the Royal Family’s christening of Prince Louis.
MAINE. Governor Paul LePage vetoes legislation banning gay conversion therapy.
REWARDED. Trump Foundation donations went to organizations that held galas at Mar-a-Lago: ‘Nearly all of the $706,000 in donations made by the Donald J. Trump Foundation in Palm Beach County since 2008 went to charities that hosted lavish fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago — the president’s highest-profile business in the county. While the timing and frequency of the donations suggest charities that fete at Mar-a-Lago — especially those that return after fundraising at other venues — are rewarded for their loyalty, several local charities said the donations were not a quid pro quo or a reward for doing business with Trump.’
PLEA. Harvey Weinstein pleads not guilty to new sex assault charges.
BILL MAHER. On Trump’s penis: “Although honestly, doesn’t everything about this man just scream microdick? The bragging, and the buildings with my name on it! And the debates. He was talking about his dick at the debates! That guy is president. Remember that?”
POLAND. Nationalists block gay rights march. ‘About 1,000 people with rainbow-colored banners and umbrellas were heading toward the Jasna Gora shrine in the southern city of Czestochowa when they came across a police cordon that separated them from the extremists. The group of nationalists had an anti-gay banner and chanted “National Czestochowa.”
PUT A RING ON IT. The Biebs is engaged.
STONEWALL INN. Disgruntled teen bashes landmark bar with baseball bat.
SOUTH CAROLINA. SUV vandalized: ‘Deputies said the SUV that was parked at a home on Stonewood Crossing Drive was covered with a white power, and the phrase “gay is not the way” was written on the back window. Silly string had been sprayed all over the vehicle and some type of animal intestines were put on the windshield and disposable sporks had been placed in each door handle, deputies said.’
THE AGING STONEWALL GENERATION. LGBT retirement communities rising: “As they age, it is not always easy to find facilities where they are comfortable being out. While a few cater primarily to an LGBT clientele, the vast majority of older LGBT people will live in facilities that serve the general population, according to SAGE. Many worry that their peers, raised in an era when homosexuality was seen as criminal or deviant behavior, will not be welcoming or that they will face hostility from staff.”
INDIA. Homosexuality not a diseases, says Indian Psychiatric Society.
Ahead of Supreme Court’s crucial hearing on homosexuality in #India, #Indian Psychiatric Society says #homosexuality is not a disease and it supports de-criminalisation of same sex relationships – which are now punishable under IPLC #Sec377 . #LGBTQ #Pride #rights #relationship pic.twitter.com/AkLlBSrKg1

ELVIS COSTELLO. Singer cancels remaining tour dates due to aggressive cancer. “Six weeks ago my specialist called me and said, “You should start playing the Lotto”. He had rarely, if ever, seen such a small but very aggressive cancerous malignancy that could be defeated by a single surgery. I was elated and relieved that our European summer tour could go ahead. Post-surgical guidelines for such surgery, recommend three weeks to four weeks recovery depending on whether you are returning to a desk job or an occupation that involves physical work or travel. It was impossible to judge how this advisory would line up with the demands on a traveling musician, playing 90-minute to 2-hour plus performances on a nightly basis but by the time we reached the Edinburgh Playhouse, I was almost fooled into thinking that normal service had been resumed.
TRAILER OF THE DAY. Orange is the New Black Season 6.
COVER OF THE DAY. Zayn covers Elvis.
MONDAY MUSCLE. Imagine Dragons frontman and LGBT ally Dan Reynolds.

HRC Opposes Kavanaugh, Trump’s Pick to Undermine LGBTQ Rights, Reproductive Rights and Health Care
HRC Opposes Kavanaugh, Trump’s Pick to Undermine LGBTQ Rights, Reproductive Rights and Health Care
Today, HRC called on the Senate to reject Brett Kavanaugh, who was pre-cleared by anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice organizations and nominated by the Trump-Pence Administration to the Supreme Court.
“In nominating Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump has followed through on his threat to nominate a justice who would undermine LGBTQ equality, women’s reproductive rights and affordable healthcare,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “Now, the Senate has a responsibility to fulfill its constitutional duty, serve as a check on this reckless president and reject Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination. This nominee was hand-picked by anti-LGBTQ, anti-choice groups in an explicit effort to undermine equality — and the prospect of a Justice Kavanaugh threatens to erode our nation’s civil rights laws, block transgender troops from bravely serving this nation and allow a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people in every aspect of American life. The 2018 midterm elections just became the most consequential elections of our lifetime, and we must seize the opportunity to pull the emergency brake on this regime. We need to vote this November like our lives depend on it — because they do.”
The next Supreme Court justice will shape civil and constitutional rights jurisprudence in the country for decades to come. In the coming years the Supreme Court will be asked to decide critical issues for the LGBTQ community including:
- Whether our nation’s nondiscrimination laws include protections for LGBTQ people — as many lower courts have already concluded. This would impact employment, housing, healthcare and education civil rights statutes.
- Whether individuals and organizations have a license to discriminate against LGBTQ people when receiving taxpayer dollars to provide critical services.
- Whether LGBTQ people and families can be turned away from businesses open to the general public, simply because of who they are or whom they love.
- Whether qualified transgender people can be excluded from serving in the military, simply because of who they are.
Kavanaugh currently serves as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. During his tenure, he has clearly established a judicial philosophy that the personal beliefs of individuals should dictate the lives of others. Kavanaugh has ruled that an employer’s religious beliefs should be allowed to override their workers’ access to birth control. While refusing to answer whether he believed Roe was correctly decided during his confirmation hearing for the DC Circuit, once on the bench he wrote that his colleagues had “badly erred” by determining that an undocumented immigrant teen should have access to an abortion. In dissenting against the Affordable Care Act, Kavanaugh claimed that “the President may decline to enforce a statute… when the President deems the statute unconstitutional, even if a court has held or would hold the statute constitutional.”
HRC joins coalition partners in demanding the U.S. Senate confirm a fair-minded constitutionalist to succeed Justice Kennedy.
