🌈 Over the weekend, President Joe Biden recognized the AIDS Memorial Quilt, made up of nearly 50,000 panels and memorializing more than 110,000 lives lost to AIDS, in a ceremony on World AIDS Day on Sunday. Displayed on the South Lawn, it's the first time the White House hosted the memorial.
⚡ Emerging social media platform Bluesky seems to have suspended the far-right anti-LGBTQ+ Libs of TikTok, which is run by Chaya Raichik. Libs of TikTok is known for going after transgender people, drag queens, and even allies. Bravo, Bluesky. Lol, Libs of TikTok. 👏
🎉 Tim Bagley, who appears in HBO's critically acclaimed show Somebody Somewhere, recently spoke to The Advocate's John Casey about his storied career. The out actor, known for his queer roles, opened up about persevering in Hollywood even after the industry rejected him for being gay. "I’m living proof that you can be who you are and still have a career. I’m proud of what I’ve done, and I hope that in some small way, I’ve helped open doors for others," Bagley said.
Onward and upward,
