Drop the Three Day Rule Once and For All
The Three Day Rule An outdated piece of dating advice where singles are told to wait three days before contacting someone they’ve met online/offline, to avoid appearing too interested or desperate. “But if you like someone, don’t you want to show them you’re interested?” That’s a great question and one that I respond to with […]

Game on.
David Tennant, Rosie O’Donnell, Brady Bunch House, Mike Pence, Hail Storm, Lady Gaga, Tom Daley, Surrogacy: HOT LINKS
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL. Rosie O’Donnell and Seth Rudetsky lead protesters outside the White House. ‘After warming up their voices with “America the Beautiful,” the performers sang several show-tune favorites, such as “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from “Les Miserables,” “Let The Sun Shine In” from “Hair” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” from “The Sound of Music.”
REAL ESTATE RAGE. Lance Bass lost the Brady Bunch house to…HGTV.
IPSOS POLL. 43 percent of Republicans say Trump should have authority to shut news outlets “engaged in bad behavior.” BEAST: “The findings present a sobering picture for the fourth estate, with respondents showing diminished trust in the media and increased support for punitive measures against its members. They also illustrate the extent to which Trump’s anti-press drumbeat has shaped public opinion about the role the media plays in covering his administration.”
DAVID TENNANT. Dr. Who actor slams Trump on behalf of the Scottish people: “When he was over here and he was talking about England and he was saying ‘I’m going out to Scotland for my golf course in Scotland cause people in London are protesting but obviously [in] Scotland they really like me.’ Can I say on behalf of the Scottish nation, we f—ing don’t?”
Really looking forward to the President’s tweet about how terrible & overrated an actor David Tennant is. And how Matt Smith was the better Doctor.pic.twitter.com/epGRuxyBg3

MIKE PENCE. Unearthed columns reveal Mike Pence thought lying about adultery was grounds for impeaching the president: “Pence made the argument in two columns in the late 1990s, where he wrote that then-President Bill Clinton’s admission of an affair with a White House intern and prior lies to the public about the matter, possibly under oath, meant Clinton should be removed from office.”
ENIGMA. Lady Gaga announces details of Vegas residency: “According to a press release, Lady Gaga Enigma will take fans on an adventure built around her biggest pop hits, while Lady Gaga Jazz & Piano will feature stripped-down versions of her songs, as well as music from TheGreat American Songbook.” Full list of dates.
FLASHBACK OF THE DAY. Trump talking about running for president in 1999.
DAN BILZERIAN. Buff in Ibiza.
SURROGACY. Tom Daley working on documentary: “Daley is to present Surrogacy (w/t), produced by Gold Rush producer Raw Television. Having recently had a child through surrogacy, Daley will explore the modern phenomenon. He will investigate how surrogacy works in the UK, where it’s illegal to advertise for or pay surrogates except for reasonable expenses.He’ll also travel to California, where commercial surrogacy, complete with contracts between surrogates and want-to-be parents, is much more the norm. His journey will also take him to one of the European countries where surrogacy is totally illegal.”
MAKEUP TUTORIAL OF THE DAY. Stephen Colbert on Presidential Highlights.

HRC Sends FOIA Request to Justice Department Regarding Creation of “Religious Liberty Task Force”
Today, HRC sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Justice (DOJ) calling for the release of all records related to the so-called “Religious Liberty Task Force” announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions on July 30, 2018. HRC is demanding transparency from the DOJ, which has not provided details publicly on the activities of the task force, including how much it is spending, what it’s mandate and scope is, and who is on it.
Sessions announced the creation of the task force on July 30th at the U.S. Department of Justice standing alongside the anti-LGBTQ Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and their client, a Colorado baker who refused to serve a gay couple in violation of the state’s nondiscrimination law. It will be co-chaired by Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio, who was an attorney in 2010 for supporters of Proposition 8, California’s same-sex marriage ban, and Beth Williams, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Policy.
The FOIA request was sent ahead of Sessions’ speech tomorrow at the ADF Summit on Religious Liberty.
“The American people deserve transparency about how much taxpayer money the DOJ is spending on this discriminatory so-called “task force,” said David Stacy, HRC Government Affairs Director. “We also deserve to know: who is on this task force? What is the scope of its mandate? Was this proposed by ADF or other anti-LGBTQ groups? It is important that the American people understand the process through which this task force was created and the involvement of anti-LGBTQ organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom.”
This task force is the latest effort in an 18-month campaign by the Trump-Administration to license discrimination against LGBTQ people for so-called ‘religious’ reasons. Last year, Donald Trump issued an Executive Order directing Jeff Sessions to look across the federal government and assess ways in which the administration could license discrimination at government agencies. In January, the Department of Health and Human Services announced the creation of a so-called “Conscience” Division, empowering health care providers to discriminate against LGBTQ people. The Trump Administration has also proposed an accompanying rule that could permit health care providers–doctors, nurses, and even non medical support staff like receptionists–to deny even potentially life-saving care to LGBTQ people, women, and other vulnerable communities on the basis of the worker’s personal beliefs.

The 1999 gay classic Trick (see trailer above), which followed a young Broadway composer and a go-go boy as they tried to find a place to get together for the night, is getting a sequel, according to its director Jim Fall. Fall made the announcement in a post on Facebook.
He wrote: “So this is in the works for 2019……. just in time for the 20th (!!!) anniversary of TRICK next year.”
When pressed for details, Fall added: “Script is written, doing a reading with the cast soon, raising the money to make it all happen!!!”
Fall added in comments that Tori Spelling and drag queen Coco Peru would be in the film once again. YouTube comic Jimmy Fowlie is also attached. It’s not clear if Christian Campbell and J.P. Pitoc will be back to reprise the main roles. But Fall teased that “Scruff plays a role in bringing our two men back together again….”
