Video captured a MAGA counterprotestor shouting homophobic slur to "No Kings" protestors in Denver, Colorado, shortly before face planting twice on the pavement, causing his face to bleed as other protestors suggest that he leave for his own safety before others possibly cause him more harm. The video begins with him and other silver-haired white men shouting "Let's go ICE," a reference to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who have been arresting American citizens and brown-skinned people to satisfy the president's goal of mass deportations. The men then chant, "God bless Trump," as the man points his middle fingers at others.

Empires tried to erase this queer story from ancient Palestine, but history remembers - LGBTQ Nation

By the Bronze Age, in what became ancient Canaan-whose Indigenous culture is most remembered in the early history of Palestine and the Levant-queerness was divine. Melqart, the storm god of the sea, embodied beauty and power. His beloved Eshmun, a mortal healer, became immortal when he died and was reborn through Melqart's grief. Each spring's return marked their reunion.

Tough to See Others Living Your Dream (Being Married to a Gay Man)

Earlier this year, IAC Chairman Barry Diller came out as gay in his memoir, Who Knew. Now, is he the first big, fancy businessman to be gay? Certainly not. But because Diller has been married to Diane von Fürstenberg since 2001, the admission generated a fair amount of discourse and made some people (read: me) very jealous. It all started in May, when New York magazine published a touching essay by Diller titled: "Barry & Diane: The truth about us, after all these years."

"But it's not necessarily impossible, and if I were to stop taking testosterone, yeah, I could.
