DANCING WITH THE HAS BEENS. Trump urges followers to vote for Sean Spicer. “Despite low judges’ scores for his plodding dance moves with pro partner Lindsay Arnold, he remains a contender for the mirrorball trophy. Strong fan support has carried him through three eliminations, though he’ll be tested again Monday (8 EDT/PDT).”

Vote for good guy @seanspicer tonight on Dancing With The Stars. He has always been there for us!

NO PARDON. Biden says he won’t pardon Trump if elected: “It wouldn’t unite the country,” Biden said. “You’d say: ‘Wait a minute. I get a parking ticket and I’ve got to pay it. This happens to me and I’ve got to go to jail. This guy does all these things that put us jeopardy and he gets off? I think this is of a different nature. And I think President Ford, God love him he’s a good guy, I knew him pretty well, I think if he had to do it over again he wouldn’t have done it…because he didn’t get re-elected.”

NO SPIRIT. Norwegian Cruise passengers stage near mutiny during disastrous voyagevideo, photos.

RIP. Transgender activist and actress Daphne Dorman dies by suicide: ‘Dorman was at the center of controversy recently after she was referenced by Dave Chappelle in a stand-up special that some people called transphobic. Dorman, however, “was laughing the hardest” at the trans jokes in his practice set, the comedian said.’

DISINFORMATION FOR PROFIT. Elizabeth Warren steps up war with Facebook:

Facebook changed their ads policy to allow politicians to run ads with known lies—explicitly turning the platform into a disinformation-for-profit machine. This week, we decided to see just how far it goes.

— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) October 12, 2019

Facebook holds incredible power to affect elections and our national debate. They’ve decided to let political figures lie to you—even about Facebook itself—while their executives and their investors get even richer off the ads containing these lies.

— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) October 12, 2019

Facebook already helped elect Donald Trump once through negligence. Now, they’ve changed their policy so they can profit from lies to the American people. It’s time to hold Mark Zuckerberg accountable—add your name if you agree: t.co/Z9DNwPNaTH

BILLY PORTER. On the challenges of being black and gay in Hollywood: “We must speak life into ourselves, even when everyone around us is doing the opposite. I never saw anything that looked like me, and visibility … when we see ourselves reflected back… is so important.”

PHARRELL WILLIAMS. On gender fluid fashion: “Well, I’m ashamed to say it was an aesthetic choice first. I liked something, and I put it on. Then the philosophy came behind it. And I do have my lines…But things that are made for women that I feel will look good on me—that I like—I will wear.”

FORTNITE. Game down after worldwide map is sucked into black hole….

BIG MOUTH’S MATTHEW. The kind of gay TV character you wished you had as a kid?

CHEMSEX. Grindr blocks health adviser from platform for providing information to users seeking help for drug problems: ‘Ignacio Labayen de Inza, an expert in chemsex substance abuse, was removed by Grindr multiple times without explanation after he set up a profile signposting people to where they could access advice. While doing so, he also catalogued dozens of drug dealers openly selling crystal methamphetamine and GHB/GBL (“G”) on the platform, the very drugs prompting users to seek help.’

Apply now to receive a #SpiritDay grant for your work supporting LGBTQ youth

Apply now to receive a #SpiritDay grant for your work supporting LGBTQ youth

GLAAD announced today that it is accepting applications for the 2019 Rising Stars Grants for Spirit Day. The Rising Stars Grant for Spirit Day honors GLAAD’s annual Spirit Day, the largest and most visible LGBTQ anti-bullying campaign. Spirit Day represents a means of speaking out against LGBTQ bullying and standing with LGBTQ youth, who disproportionately face bullying and harassment because of their identities.

The grant is eligible to LGBTQ young people who are working to accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ youth by focusing on anti-bullying initiatives in their communities. The recipient of the Rising Stars Grant will receive $1,500 for their commitment to combating bullying and harassment experienced by LGBTQ youth. 

The effects of bullying on LGBTQ individuals are serious, complex and long-lasting. LGBTQ students report feeling unsafe when on school grounds, often resulting in missing a significant number of classes or dropping out because of the continuous harassment they face at school. It is critical for advocates to focus on eradicating hate and bullying in their communities. That’s why GLAAD is awarding a Rising Stars Grant for Spirit Day to support the work that is already being done by young leaders to create change. 

2019 GLAAD Rising Stars Grant recipient, Giselle Bleuz. 

Former Rising Stars Grant recipients have been honored for their thoughtful work to address many issues facing their local communities, including eliminating stigma experienced by undocumented queer youth through social media campaigns, educating youth audiences on gender, sexuality, and acceptance through a viral YouTube web series and more!

To apply for a Rising Stars Grant, applicants must complete an online application form and submit a short essay responding to the following prompt:

  • How would you use this grant to create or improve an anti-bullying program or initiative in your community? Additionally, how and in what ways would you use the media to amplify your mission and increase your initiative’s impact? 

A GLAAD-appointed committee will select grant recipients using the following criteria:

  • Applicant’s initiative positively affects marginalized communities, particularly LGBTQ people.
  • Applicant’s initiative uses innovative anti-bullying strategies to accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ youth in their communities.
  • Applicant’s initiative enhances representation for LGBTQ people through media advocacy.
  • Applicant’s initiative uses an intersectional approach to LGBTQ advocacy.

Key dates for applicants:

  • Monday, October 14, 2019: Applications available.
  • Sunday, October 27, 2019: Applications due by midnight PST.
  • Friday, November 1, 2019: All applicants are notified of status; recipients notified.

Finally, an Instagram page dedicated exclusively to male athlete butts

Finally, an Instagram page dedicated exclusively to male athlete butts

Detroit Red Wings Center Dylan Larkin became an overnight gay icon last week when he talked all about his formidable posterior in an online advertisement for State & Liberty, a men’s clothing company that caters to male athletes.

“My name is Dylan Larkin and I have hockey butt,” the 23-year-old said before showing off his plump buttocks, enormous quads, and muscular thighs for the camera.

With the NHL season starting up tomorrow, we wanted to bring in a specialist to help shed light on a topic a lot of people are not comfortable talking about – The Hockey Butt. pic.twitter.com/egGPXduu8N

— State & Liberty (@StateAndLiberty) October 2, 2019

“I can’t really find an off-the-rack pant to fit me,” Larkin lamented. “Even when I get a pair of pants custom-made, I can’t move around and stretch in them. Every time I bend down, I feel like I’m going to bust through the seams.”

But Larkin is hardly the first person to struggle with this problem, which, for the record, is not exclusively a hockey thing, or even a problem really. Many male athletes from many different sports deal the same thing. And there’s a while Instagram page to prove it.

@sportsbubblebutt was launched earlier this year with the aim of raising awareness to this important issue.

The page features swimmers…

Tennis players…

Wrestlers…

And basketball stars…

Quarterbacks…

Rugby players…

Speed skaters…

And soccer pros…
