Happy Tuesday!
Y'all's week off to a good start?
💪🏽 Like something out of the Onion, a Republican candidate for secretary of state in Missouri has released a campaign video where she urges voters not to be "weak and gay." I don't even know what to do with that, to be honest. 🙃
🎬 My colleague Tracy E. Gilchrist recently spoke with Brooke Shields and Wilson Cruz about their new film Mother of the Bride. Shields spoke about the importance of Cruz's character and his relationship with his husband. “Their relationship is not only the most settled, it’s the healthiest and it’s the most overtly affectionate as well, which was really a point in the script that I was so happy that here's Netflix deciding to do this movie about a woman my age getting a second chance on life and this couple,” Shields said. 🎥
🚨 While we're heading into Pride season, the federal government is warning folks to be careful. Law enforcement and security officials have issued a warning about the potential for terrorist attacks at Pride events this year. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security released a public service announcement on May 10 highlighting an increased threat environment during Pride Month in June. Have fun, but be safe out there, y'all.
