Dua Lipa on LGBTQ Activism: ‘I Believe in Equality and..Have a Duty to Speak Out About Things That are Important’
British recording artist Dua Lipa spoke to Billboard’s Pop Shop podcast about her LGBTQ activism: “I believe in equality and everyone having the same opportunities and there being a lot more acceptance in the world. You know, being from London, sometimes you live in your little bubble where there’s so much diversity and so much acceptance and you don’t really realize that it’s not like that in every other part in the world, so you feel like because you’re given this platform, you have a duty to really speak up and speak out about the things that are important.”
The singer spoke out in September after Chinese fans were dragged from her concert in Shanghai for waving rainbow flags: “I will stand by you all for your love and beliefs and I am proud and grateful that you felt safe enough to show your pride at my show. What you did takes a lot of bravery. I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved.” She pledged to return to Shanghai “when the time is right and hopefully see a room full of rainbows.”

Eugene Lee Yang Hosts #HRCTwitterTakeover on LGBTQ Representation to Mark National Coming Out Day
Eugene Lee Yang Hosts #HRCTwitterTakeover on LGBTQ Representation to Mark National Coming Out Day
Eugene Lee Yang — actor, producer, director, writer and a member of The Try Guys — did an #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about representation of LGBTQ people of color to mark the 30th anniversary of National Coming Out Day.
1/ Hey, it’s @EugeneLeeYang! Actor, producer, director, writer & part of the awesome quartet: The @TryGuys. I’m doing an #HRCTwitterTakeover for #NationalComingOutDay to talk about the importance of LGBTQ representation in story telling & voting to effect change. �� @mandeephoto pic.twitter.com/YSbrH5NYvf
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
2/ Growing up, I always felt insecure and self-conscious. I wrongly assumed that my otherness was a curse — that my Asian and queer identities would hold me back. Looking back, I know that was false. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
3/ I was always performing as a kid, but it wasn’t until I pursued a career in film that I saw my work online impact other LGBTQ people of color. I learned how important it was for them to see themselves in the stories I told. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #ComingOutDay
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
4/ Representation matters. Through telling stories, you can leave a lasting impact on someone who feels like an outsider simply by showcasing different identities in a positive light. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/vKwOTHSoMf
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
5/ I know firsthand how seeing Asian actors be negatively portrayed as emasculated caricatures on television and film negatively impacted my self-esteem growing up. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/5fsG08fThx
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
6/ I wanted to break the mold, change perceptions on what it means to be valued as an Asian male. I wanted to show that LGBTQ API men and other P.O.C can be serious, complex, intelligent and kick ass. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #ComingOutDay t.co/i6KapVTdR9
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
7/ My advice to LGBTQ P.O.C., but particularly for Asian & Pacific Islander men: Do not compromise your vision because someone is telling you to do things a certain way — especially if it deals with your Asianness. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
8/ The best thing you can do is be honest with your experience and to express it as creatively as possible. The lifelong coming out experience is different for everybody. Do it at your own pace. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/i9woEGf5YO
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
9/ We’re at the start of this wave beginning to crest when it comes to LGBTQ & minority representation — not just in television, film and online, but also in the people who represent us in Congress and state legislatures. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
11/ If you are LGBTQ or a person of color and you aren’t voting then you don’t have a say in the laws that get passed.

— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
12/12 It’s vital to find resources to help guide you through these intersectional challenges when coming out. Let’s make sure our work and the people we elect to public office reflect that reality. – @EugeneLeeYang #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/PGgFoICkmk

Fat Bear Week, Devin Nunes, Palm Springs, LGBTQ Visa Denials, ‘Retroactive Hispanics’, Mariah Carey, KJ Apa Shirtless: HOT LINKS
NEW PSA. Don’t let bullying define you, produced by Monica Lewinsky.
LGBTQ VISA DENIALS. 20 Democrats sign letter to Mike Pompeo demanding reversal of policy denying visas to LGBTQ partners of diplomats. ‘In July, the U.S. mission to the United Nations informed foreign delegations that beginning Oct. 1, the State Department would no longer issue G-4 visas to same-sex partners of foreign diplomats and U.N. officials who are not legally married, reversing a policy that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had instituted.’
JOKE OF THE DAY. Trump thinks Devin Nunes should get the Medal of Freedom. “If this all turns out like everyone thinks it will, Devin Nunes should get the Medal of Honor,” Trump said, later correcting himself that the California Republican should receive the Medal of Freedom, not the Medal of Honor, which is awarded only for military service. “He is really, what he has gone through and his bravery.”

STATE TV. FOX News pulling back on airing Trump rallies, over poor ratings? ‘Since Trump took office, CNN and MSNBC have mostly declined to air his campaign rallies, though, like Fox News, they’ll typically carry any presidential speeches or comments to reporters. Fox still provides livestreams of the campaign events online, but during a crucial period, with the midterms less than a month away, some in the White House are worried that the president is losing a prime-time megaphone to his base.’
RADIANT ROLLS. Meet the winner of Fat Bear Week.
HACKER’S BONANZA. The U.S. weapons systems are far from secure.
PREDICTION OF THE DAY. Michael Avenatti says Donald Trump Jr. will be indicted before the end of the year.
Donald Trump Jr. will be indicted before his birthday on 12-31-18. If you doubt my prediction, please check my record over the last 7 months. #Winning

BORROWED PHOTO OF THE DAY. Donald Trump lifted a photo from “fake news” reporter CNN’s Jim Acosta to tout the size of his rally crowd.

PALM SPRINGS. Younger people making it a cooler place to retire?
RETROACTIVE HISPANICS. Racist Rep. Steve King on the Castro brothers and Beto O’Rourke: ‘Also two Texas politicians, Joaquin & Julian, the Castro twins, took Spanish lessons to qualify as retroactive Hispanics.’

FLIP POTENTIAL. Democrats have the chance to flip one of the reddest districts in the country: ‘So how did such a deeply Republican seat become competitive? For one thing, it’s an open seat held by the presidential party, which can make it particularly susceptible to large swings in party vote share. The seat’s incumbent, Evan Jenkins, ran for a U.S. Senate seat instead of seeking re-election, so the 3rd is among the 41 seats Republicans are defending where the incumbent either retired, ran for another office or lost renomination.in-your-face populism.’
PRIDE FLIGHT. Virgin Airlines to staff plane with all-LGBTQ crew and include drag queens and a Judy singalong.
JAW-DROPPING. Eddie Redmayne teases the ending of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY. Mariah Carey “With You”.
THIRSTY THURSDAY. KJ Apa, from the Season 3 premiere of Riverdale.

#HRCTwitterTakeover with Stephanie Beatriz
#HRCTwitterTakeover with Stephanie Beatriz
Stephanie Beatriz — an actress, proud Argentinian American immigrant and bisexual woman — joined HRC for an #HRCTwitterTakeover during Latinx Heritage Month to mark the 30th anniversary of National Coming Out Day.
1/ Hey Twitter! This is Stephanie Beatriz (@iamstephbeatz). I’m here today for an #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about my journey as a Latina, bisexual actor for the 30th anniversary of National #ComingOutDay. pic.twitter.com/dBRgbRyNtY
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
2/ To be bisexual is a continual series of coming-out moments: to your friends, your siblings, your family, your coworkers, your partners, again and again and again. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/xkpv17TiNh
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
3/ I use my platform to speak openly about my bi-ness for people—especially young people—who may feel invisible & unsure of whether or not to come out. Coming out is different for everyone, and sometimes it might not be safe yet. That’s okay. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/22s2WwY25x
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
4/ I came out publicly in one of the shortest tweets ever. It was a little more complicated coming out to my Catholic-raised Latinx folks, but I think it’s because in many communities bisexuality is still misunderstood. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover #ComingOutDay pic.twitter.com/O9X2tYaA0F
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
5/ Bisexuality isn’t something you can “read.” We’re often defined by who we’re partnered with before we can even define ourselves—and, as such, too many of us know what it’s like to feel invisible. It’s SO frustrating. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/UEDrYKAfOq
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
6/ Speaking from personal experience, it feels INCREDIBLE to be out. It’s still scary sometimes, but those moments of discomfort are worth it, because living authentically gives me so much joy. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/xXQ7S2APd5 pic.twitter.com/yQJxZBrnRg
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
7/ Getting to play Rosa on @NBCBrooklyn99 is a gift. I still can’t begin to describe how nervous & excited I was for her coming out story. I felt really terrified I wouldn’t do the moment she tells her parents justice. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeovert.co/6QxW7Ww62V
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
8/ I think it’s because there is so little bi visibility in media that @NBCBrooklyn99 is so vital. It’s this fun, comedy world in which feminism & equality are both core values that all the characters share. I mean, I want to live in that world.-@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/zFUMMvh0pb
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
9/ It’s fitting that #NationalComingOutDay falls in #HispanicHeritageMonth. It’s an amazing chance to celebrate our vibrant LGBTQ Latinx community & show queer Latinx kids who might be struggling that they’re not alone. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover t.co/BAJ33eQg41
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
10/ Of the Latinx youth who participated in @HRC‘s #LGBTQYouthReport:
❎72% heard family say negative things about LGBTQ people
❎Only 28% always feel safe in their classrooms
❎Just 7% believe Latinx people are regarded positively in the U.S.
–@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
11/ These numbers are shocking—and they’re unacceptable. We must do better for our youth, and it starts with addressing the invisibility of LGBTQ Latinx people in media, entertainment and politics. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover #NationalComingOutDay t.co/FvMkvTRu3Q
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
12/ It starts with representation. We’ve got to have more shows like @NBCBrooklyn99, @OITNB and @HowToGetAwayABC. We’ve got to show our kids how magical and beautiful their stories can be. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover #ComingOutDay t.co/BTFRbE69fU
— Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) October 11, 2018
13/13 This #NationalComingOutDay know that I see you. ���� ������. Whether you’re out to everyone or just starting to come out to yourself, you’re not alone. Together we’re making a community where each of us can be our authentic selves. –@IAmStephBeatz #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/GgdtR9tWj1
