HIV Vaccine, Eric Garner, ’13 Reasons Why’, Cristiano Ronaldo, Amazon, Stephen Colbert, Billy Porter: HOT LINKS
HIV VACCINE. Johnson & Johnson prepares for major test of its experimental HIV vaccine: ‘Some 3,800 men who have sex with men will receive a regimen of shots in a study that’s planned to be launched later this year, Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in an interview. The agency and the HIV Vaccine Trials Network of testing sites will collaborate with J&J’s Janssen unit on the effort.’
RIP. Golden Girls actor Charles Levin.
VIRGINIA. Conservative congressman presides at same-sex wedding: ‘Anthony LeCounte and Alex Pisciarino promised their guests a “fabulous gay summer wedding.” The setting was a vineyard in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The dress code, a seersucker-linen-chiffon homage to the Kentucky Derby. And the officiant was a Republican congressman from a conservative district in the rural South.’
ERIC GARNER. Police officer won’t face charges in death of Eric Garner: “Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn intend to announce the decision not to bring criminal civil rights charges on Tuesday morning, just one day before the fifth anniversary of Mr. Garner’s death. That is the deadline by which they would have to file some of the possible charges against the officer, Daniel Pantaleo.”
STEPHEN COLBERT: On Trump’s racist rant. “Everything in your life has been handed to you on a silver platter, and yet, you––every other word out of your mouth is a tantrum that would get a toddler dragged out of a ball pit! You complain about everything! You don’t like Bette Midler! Who doesn’t like Bette Midler?!… If someone is leaving this country, it should be you! And if you’re looking for a new home, might I suggest that you go to hell!”
13 REASONS WHY. Netflix removes controversial suicide scene amid backlash: “We’ve heard from many young people that 13 Reasons Why encouraged them to start conversations about difficult issues like depression and suicide and get help — often for the first time,” Netflix said in a statement. “As we prepare to launch Season 3 later this summer, we’ve been mindful about the ongoing debate around the show. So on the advice of medical experts, including Dr. Christine Moutier, chief medical officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, we’ve decided with creator Brian Yorkey and the producers to edit the scene in which Hannah takes her own life from Season 1.”
AMAZON OFFER. $10 if we can track you. “The deal is for new installations of the Amazon Assistant, a comparison-shopping tool that customers can add to their web browsers. It fetches Amazon’s price for products that users see on Walmart.com, Target.com and elsewhere.”
TIME. The 25 most influential people on the internet. “TIME evaluated contenders by looking at their global impact on social media and their overall ability to drive news.”

It’s #InternationalNonBinaryDay so let’s have a bit of a picture thread! #nonbinary doesn’t have to mean “presents androgynous”. Wearing a skirt and make-up doesn’t make me a girl any more than that marker in my passport does.

HAPPY #NonBinaryDay !! It’s our day!
Remember:
non-binary/genderqueer =/= androgyny or masc-lite. Took me years to realize this and be comfortable with ME (& my fluidity)gender is a social construct

Outing her friend to her 15 million Instagram followers may cost this influencer $2 million
This is pretty messy so we’ll try to explain it as painlessly and succinctly as possible…
Model/reality star/make-up influencer Blac Chyna was just slapped with a $2 million lawsuit by her former BFF after he says she outed him as gay.
In the lawsuit, Pilot Jones, whose real name is Justin C. Jones, alleges that after a photo of him and Blac Chyna kissing surfaced online, she and her then-fiance? Rob Kardashian accused him of selling the photo to the tabloids. In retaliation, Blac Chyna took to Instagram to out Jones as gay then published his private phone number.
View this post on InstagramWanna love me? Wanna love me? If you don’t someone else will ?????// ?: ME ?????
A post shared by Pilot Jones (@whoispilotjones) on
Jones, who denies ever leaking the photo, says that when Blac Chyna gave our his private phone number he began receiving threatening messages. He also claims Blac Chyna ruined his life and nearly drove him to suicide. Now, he wants $2 million in damages.
Specifically, he wants $600k for lost earnings, $500k for emotional distress, $250K for the damage suffered by his family, another $250k for past and future medical expenses, and $7,200 for his rent.
But Blac Chyna tells a different story. She says never outed Jones and that everyone knew he was gay long before they ever met.
In court documents, she alleges: “I met the Plaintiff J.C. Jones in or around 2015. J.C. is also known in the industry and to the public as Pilot Jones. J.C. was introduced to me as a model and an actor from Glee.”
“J.C. and I spent a lot of time together enjoying each other’s company in a friendly/close relationship for not quite two years. We never had a sexual relationship and he was never my boyfriend.”
Blac Chyna added: “At all times during our friendship, J.C. was very open about his sexuality, that he was gay. I witnessed him kiss another man in front of other people on at least one occasion. I also saw him stick his back side in another man’s face at least one time.”
“I recall that his social media posts at the time did not hide the fact that he was gay. Based on everything I knew about J.C., I believed that he was an openly gay man and that his sexuality was well known.”
As for leaking his phone number, Blac Chyna blames that one her ex-fiance? who she says took her phone without her permission to send him threatening texts.
Blac Chyna is asking that the case be tossed out. A judge has yet to decide.
