Aquarius
Aquarius gets another dawning next Thursday on ABC, with a new drama of that name starring David Duchnovny. The X-Files alum portrays a Los Angeles police officer who finds himself accidentally on the trail of Charles Manson in 1967, just before Manson became one of America's most notorious killers. Peace, love, and murder, man. Watch the trailer below.

Stonewall: Breaking Out in the Fight for Gay Rights
With Pride season coming on, Ann Bausum's Stonewall: Breaking Out in the Fight for Gay Rights offers an engaging history lesson on how it all began. The book is written for a teen audience, but grown-ups will learn something too. "Readers coming of age at a time when state after state is beginning to celebrate gay marriage will be astonished to return to a time when it was a crime for a man to wear a dress," noted the journal Kirkus Reviews. Order it here or pick it up at your local bookstore.

DC Black Pride
It's Memorial Day Weekend, y'all! And in Washington, D.C., that means barbecues, beers, and DC Black Pride. Enjoy days of parties, panels, poetry, and even a film festival, most of which take place at the Grand Hyatt Washington. See a full schedule of events here.
