“I met you just after you’d moved to LA, and I was fresh out of college. You were working at a 24-hour diner and I was an assistant.

“You were hesitant to be in a relationship because you were pursing you’re dream. And I said “Keep pursing it; and I’ll keep pursuing you.” And you did. And I did. Now we’ve been together for nine years, and a year from today we’ll be married. I love you, and I’m so excited for the next nine years together! Happy anniversary, @garrettclayton1, my love, my best friend, my heart!”

Maluma Says Gay Rumors are Just That: ‘I Would Have Already Talked About It’

Maluma gay rumors were put to rest this week when the Colombian recording artist, who collaborated with Madonna on her Madame X lead single “Medellin”, responded to talk about his sexual orientation in an Instagram Q&A with his 49 million followers this week.

“El que dijo que soy gay, que me preste a su novia para ver qué tan gay soy”, fueron las palabras de Maluma para defenderse de los comentarios que lo tildan de homosexual. Esto sucedió durante un en vivo que realizó el colombiano a través de su cuenta de Instagram, donde estuvo respondiendo preguntas de sus fans. ¿Qué opinan ustedes de la reacción del cantante?

Said Maluma: “People are stupid, aren’t they? How can they say that I am gay? If I were gay, I would have already talked about it. Whoever said I am gay, lend me your girlfriend for a moment, to see how gay I am… Ah, man, you guys make me laugh.”

HRC ENDORSES U.S. REP. ANGIE CRAIG FOR REELECTION: “The voters of Minnesota’s 2nd district made a wise choice in electing Angie Craig to Congress in 2018. She’s hit the ground running as a champion for civil rights, for good paying jobs, and for accessible and affordable health care,” said HRC President Alphonso David (@AlphonsoDavid). “Angie Craig’s success in Congress has helped show LGBTQ children and youth that they can aspire to any job in America regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.” More from HRC and Politico.

• Over the next year, HRC will devote significant resources to turning out the 658,000 Equality Voters across the state of Minnesota to ensure pro-equality, LGBTQ leaders like Rep. Craig remain in or are elected to office.

With five staff organizing in Nevada, HRC has made more than 21,000 calls about the caucus and trained 100 people how to be a caucus volunteer. “I think organizing the LGBTQ community is very unique because we have so much diversity within the community,” said HRC Nevada State Director Briana Escamilla (@escamillabriana). “We’re a very intersectional community, which means that all of these priorities matter to us.” More from Kate Sosin (@shoeleatherkate) at NewNowNext.

Gay Broadway Epic ‘The Inheritance’ Announces Final Shows

The Inheritance, the Matthew Lopez two-part play which won Best New Play at the Olivier Awards in London, and came to Broadway last fall, is ending its run on March 15.

Lopez’s play, directed by Stephen Daldry, reimagined E. M. Forster’s masterpiece Howards End in 21st-century New York, following the interlinking lives of three generations of gay men searching for a community and home of their own.

The two-part play had 46 previews (28 of The Inheritance Part 1 and 18 of The Inheritance Part 2) and 138 performances (86 of The Inheritance Part 1 and 52 of The Inheritance Part 2) at the time it closes, according to producers.

OUR REVIEW: On Broadway, ‘The Inheritance’ Sprawls but Rarely Cracks the Surface: REVIEW

Said producers Tom Kirdahy, Sonia Friedman, and Hunter Arnold in a joint statement: “From its first preview at the Young Vic in 2018 through the West End and Broadway runs, audiences have been profoundly moved by Matthew Lopez’ beautiful play and Stephen Daldry’s stunning production. We are all extremely proud of this production and the 32 actors who bring this ambitious story to life eight times a week and honor the legacy of those we’ve lost to the AIDS epidemic.  We thank all of the actors, crew, co-producers, audience members, and community partners who have made this run such a milestone for everyone involved.”
