By Here’s some links for your perusal:
- Kevin Sessums shares a photo of
Brigham YoungBrigham Morris Young, the son of Brigham Young (the early Mormon leader that the university is named after) in drag as an Italian opera diva. - Olympic Beat Volleyball coverage—look at how the women are depicted in coverage of this event versus others.
- Brad Pitt seriously wants a gay role, like, now just to spite his mother (who wrote an anti-gay op-ed piece in a Missouri newspaper).
- Yeah! What she said!
- US President Barack Obama nominates lesbian Chiese-American Ki Mai Chen to a New York district court seat.
- Sizeable march in Nepal in support of queer rights.
Edited @ 2:38 p.m. Central Time: Fixed information about first link. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, naanie!
Featured image is of Brad Pitt. (In the words of Kate Bush…”mmmmm, yes.”)
Hey Will, it looks like the person in drag is Brigham Young’s son: ” Brigham Morris Young, son of Brigham Young”, and unfortunately not Brigham Young himself.
You’re right. I don’t know how I read that and still wrote that it was Brigham Young. Thanks for clarifying! 😉
