  2. Published by OK Magazine mega Karma seems to be real for Maren Morris! The “I Could Use a Love Song” vocalist took to her Instagram Story on Monday, April 24, to slam former Fox News host Tucker Carlson after he criticized her for her left-leaning politics. Shutterstock “Happy Monday, MotherTucker,” Morris wrote alongside a shot of a 2022 episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight — which has now been canceled — where the controversial anchor labeled the 33-year-old a “lunatic country music person.” In the second slide, the CMA winner shared a graphic that read, “The only tuckers allowed are the drag queens.” Morris and Carlson’s beef stems back to September 2022 when Brittany Aldean appeared on the Republican journalist’s show while she and Morris were involved in a social media fight over their differing views over transgender rights. During the segment, Carlson also called Morris a “fake country music singer.” MEGA 2023 Grammys Red Carpet: See Photos Of Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles & More!

  3. Published by Orlando Sentinel TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Resplendent in matching scarlet T-shirts, and mauve, chartreuse and fuchsia wigs, platform heels and outrageous makeup, several hundred drag queens marched on the state Capitol on Tuesday to protest legislation targeting their livelihood and transgendercommunity. With over 400 performers, their families, friends, and children from all around the state, it was billed as the largest drag queen march in Florida. “It tells us drag queens are fierce, fabulous and furious.

  4. Published by Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ battles with Walt Disney Co over a state law banning public school lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity could boost his support among U.S. Republican voters as he mulls a possible White House bid, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. DeSantis has been tussling with Disney for over a year since the company’s former chief executive spoke out against a bill that Florida Republicans named the Parental Rights in Education bill, which critics labeled the “Don’t Say Gay” law. Forty-four percent of Republican respondents in the two-day poll ended Tuesday said they had a more favorable view of DeSantis because of the fight with Disney, which led him to sign a retaliatory law in February that aims to strip the company of its self-governing authority at its Orlando-area parks. But it was unclear whether the conflict would help DeSantis gain support among the wider electorate should he formally enter and win the 2024 Republican presidential primary, becoming the party’s challenger to Democratic President Joe Biden. Seventy-three percent of respondents – including 82% of Democrats and 63% of Republicans – said they were less likely to support a political candidate who backs laws designed to punish a company for its political or cultural stances. Americans are divided along party lines on teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity in schools, with three-quarters of Republicans opposed to it and a similar proportion of Democrats in favor. Independents were evenly divided in the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Polling shows DeSantis trailing former President Donald Trump among Republican voters. DeSantis has argued that his actions against Disney were rightfully rolling back special treatment for the company. Some 64% of Republicans in the Reuters/Ipsos poll agreed, with 37% of them siding with the vast majority of Democrats, who said DeSantis was punishing Disney for exercising free speech. Independents also leaned toward viewing DeSantis’ actions as punitive. Prior Reuters/Ipsos polling has shown DeSantis’ hard-right positions on abortion and guns could help win support of Republican primary voters in the early months of 2024, but may hurt him with independent and more moderate voters that he would need to be elected. The fight with Disney could be helping DeSantis raise his national profile, with 54% of respondents in the new survey saying they were following the story. Fifty-five percent of Democrats said they were less likely to visit Florida because of DeSantis’ actions, while 31% of Republicans said they were more likely to do so. DeSantis last week pledged more legislative action to reign in the entertainment company following revelations Disney pushed through changes in its special tax district agreement that could preserve its self-governing authority. The new Reuters/Ipsos poll gathered responses from 1,005 adults across the United States, including 450 self-described Democrats and 366 Republicans. It had a credibility interval, a measure of precision, of about four percentage points. (Reporting by Jason Lange; Editing by Scott Malone and Cynthia Osterman) View the full article

  8. Published by PsyPost Whether a man is circumcised or not does not appear to have a significant impact his sexual functioning, according to new research published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. However, the study indicates that those who are happier with their circumcision status tend to have a more positive view of their genitals and are less likely to feel anxious about exposing their body. This suggests that a person’s attitude towards their circumcision status can play an important role in how they feel about their body during sexual experiences. Circumcision, a common practice that affects the penis, has … Read More View the full article

  11. Published by AFP Disney upset Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with its opposition to the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law Miami (AFP) – Disney on Wednesday filed suit in federal court against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, alleging his administration’s takeover of its theme park district in the state is part of “a targeted campaign of government retaliation.” The move is the latest salvo in an increasingly bitter fight between the entertainment giant and DeSantis, a Republican presidential hopeful for the 2024 election. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Florida, names DeSantis and other members of the conservative governor’s administration. “A targeted campaign of government retaliation — orchestrated at every step by Governor DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech — now threatens Disney’s business operations, jeopardizes its economic future in the region, and violates its constitutional rights,” it says. Disney attracted the governor’s ire last year after it criticized a law banning school lessons on sexual orientation — the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law. DeSantis, who has used the fight to burnish his populist right-wing credentials against what he says is a “woke” corporation, seized control of Walt Disney World’s self-governing district in February. On Wednesday, a DeSantis-appointed panel voted to vacate agreements that gave Disney effective powers of self-governance at its huge complex in Florida, which employs 75,000 people and attracts 50 million visitors annually. Moments later, the company hit back. “The company is left with no choice but to file this lawsuit to protect its cast members, guests, and local development partners from a relentless campaign to weaponize government power against Disney in retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint unpopular with certain State officials,” it said in the complaint. “This is as clear a case of retaliation as this Court is ever likely to see.” View the full article

  13. Published by Reuters By Anna Tong, Alexandra Ulmer and Jeffrey Dastin SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Tech billionaire and Republican megadonor Peter Thiel, an early backer of former President Donald Trump who later broke with him, has told associates he is not planning to donate to any political candidates in 2024, according to two people close to the businessman. Thiel is unhappy with the Republican Party’s focus on hot-button U.S. cultural issues, said one of the sources, a business associate, citing abortion and restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use in schools as two examples. Thiel came to this conclusion by late 2022, the sources said. He believes Republicans are making a mistake in focusing on cultural flashpoints and should be more concerned with spurring U.S. innovation – a major issue for him – and competing with China, the business associate said. Thiel’s plans for the Republican primary and general election have not been previously reported. Online news site Puck previously reported Thiel was most likely either to support Trump or sit out the primary. Thiel declined a Reuters request for an interview. When Thiel spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention, he had more hope that the party would concentrate on economic issues, his business associate said. “I am proud to be gay,” Thiel said on stage. “But most of all I am proud to be an American. I don’t pretend to agree with every plank in our party’s platform, but fake culture wars only distract us from our economic decline, and nobody in this race is being honest about it except Donald Trump.” Four political sources also told Reuters that Thiel is taking a step back from U.S. politics. Thiel, who diverged from his Silicon Valley peers with his embrace of conservative causes, identifies as a supporter of libertarianism, a political philosophy that stresses the importance of individual freedoms. DONORS HESITATE The German-born entrepreneur has a fortune estimated at around $4.2 billion after co-founding PayPal and Palantir and investing early in Facebook. He has contributed around $50 million to state and federal political candidates and campaigns since 2000, and he was the 10th largest individual donor to either party in the 2022 midterm congressional elections, according to the non-profit OpenSecrets. Thiel’s decision underlines how the Republican Party’s swing to the right on social issues is alienating some prominent, business-minded donors. Several top donors have said they are hesitant to support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to announce a run for the White House soon, after he signed a bill into law that bans most abortions after six weeks in Florida. None said they intended to sit out the entire 2024 election cycle as a consequence. In 2012, Thiel backed libertarian lawmaker Ron Paul, and in 2016 he donated some $1.25 million to the campaign efforts of Trump, who is the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination. In 2020, Thiel did not financially back Trump’s re-election efforts, according to OpenSecrets. Thiel liked some of Trump’s policies while in office but disapproved of the chaos surrounding the former reality TV star’s presidency, said one of the sources, who is close to Thiel personally. In the 2022 election cycle, however, Thiel emerged as a potential Republican kingmaker, contributing more than $35 million to 16 federal-level Republican candidates, according to OpenSecrets. Twelve of those candidates won. To be sure, Thiel could yet change his mind on political contributions for the 2024 cycle, although both sources familiar with his donation plans said they had heard Thiel declare on multiple recent occasions that he had withdrawn from U.S. politics. The source who knows Thiel personally said he had cautioned that he could still support candidates who have worked for him, as he did in 2022, when the bulk of his $35 million in donations went to two former colleagues running for the Senate as Republicans: J.D. Vance, who won, and Blake Masters, who lost a race pundits considered winnable even though he received some $20 million from Thiel. The business associate said he was not aware of any special proviso for former employees. Thiel is married to businessman Matt Danzeisen, with whom he has two toddlers. Concerns about his family’s safety have weighed in Thiel’s decision to step back as well, the source who knows him personally told Reuters.

  20. Published by AFP Raymond Norris gallops after a calf in the breakaway roping competition at the Texas Tradition Rodeo, a rodeo hosted by the Texas Gay Rodeo Association in Denton, Texas, on April 16, 2023 Denton (United States) (AFP) – At the Texas Tradition Rodeo in Denton, John Beck gallops his horse Diamond across the arena, leaving a plume of dust in his wake — one of around 50 cowboys competing in classic events such as barrel-racing, calf-lassoing and bull-riding. But at last weekend’s show, contestants also participated in unconventional challenges such as “Wild Drag Racing,” in which cowboys in sparkly dresses and extravagant wigs try to jump atop bucking steers — this is a gay rodeo. And even as the state contemplates stripping back myriad protections for LGBTQ residents, this group of gay, lesbian and transgender cowboys are proudly joining in on one of Texas’ most famous traditions anyway. Beck, who says he has known he was gay since he was a child, was not always able to be open in the rodeo world as a professional cowboy. “I had to hide. For every little thing I did, I had to hide,” recalled the 73-year-old, dressed in jeans, boots and a cowboy hat adorned with an enormous blue feather. The show’s organizer, the Texas Gay Rodeo Association (TGRA), has put on these events for 30 years, even while the state legislature in Austin debates dozens of bills — 140, according to the NGO Equality Texas — that would seek to limit the rights of LGBTQ people, a trend seen in conservative states across the country. Despite the looming threat, the small crowd in the metal bleachers in Denton, near Dallas, is enthusiastic. They laugh and cheer even when the drag queens tumble off their precarious perches on the bulls’ backs — here, unlike in the real world outside, the danger is all part of the fun. ‘Live my dream’ The TGRA, which was founded 40 years ago to raise money to support people living with HIV, when government assistance for those affected by the disease did not yet exist in the southern state. The group relies on donations to bring its version of rodeo to life, according to TGRA member Jim Gadient, for people who love the “western” lifestyle but may not feel at home in traditional Texan culture. “Our rodeo is different,” said Gadient, 68. The space to be different is more relevant than ever for many of the participants, as lawmakers debate bills that would restrict the discussion of gender identity in schools, limit or forbid drag shows, ban certain books and prohibit hormone treatment for transgender minors. “Wild Drag Race” amateur competitor Sean Moroz, a paramedic, said his friends and family were “very accepting” when he came out as gay. He had wanted to get involved in what he saw as the “hypermasculine” world of cowboys since he was a child. “Having a gay rodeo just made it a little bit easier and more comfortable for me,” he recalled. “I got to be a part of that and kind of live my dream.” Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, a political ally of Donald Trump, has decried efforts to “sexualize and indoctrinate Texas children” with events such as drag queen story hours. But for 50-year-old drag performer Delilah DeVasquez, who joined other drag queens dancing between tables filled with adult attendees to collect money for charity, such concerns are irrelevant at the rodeo. “We know our audience. So if we’re entertaining children, we obviously are going to entertain appropriately, versus if we are going to entertain adults,” she explained. “It’s two different things.” It’s not “dangerous,” Moroz said. “It’s people dressing up in a dress and having some fun.” ‘Long time to get here’ Some rodeo participants, including Gadient, said the Texas government should instead focus on issues like gun violence or voting rights rather than targeting the LGBTQ community. “It’s important that these rights do not get repealed,” said cowboy Charlie Colella, 63, while feeding his horse. “It took a long time to get here.” “I rode broncs in the straight world and gay world both for 17 years. I rode bulls for eight years,” Beck said, adding that he and his straight cowboy counterparts “learned to get along together. And that’s the bottom line.” “These are my family, these are my friends,” Moroz, 35, said of his fellow LGBTQ rodeo competitors. “And, you know, I’m able to be me.” View the full article

Sarah Huckabee Sanders launched a new campaign that was meant to be an attack on transgender women, with an insult about them not being “real women.” But it didn’t work out quite the way she thought.

The campaign slogan is where she lost people, however. “Real women don’t have to fake it,” Huckabee Sanders tweeted.

  22. Published by BANG Showbiz English Lizzo brought out drag performers at her Tennessee concert in protest of the state’s anti-drag bill. The Grammy winner was advised by fans on social media to cancel any concerts she has planned in Tennessee, but she instead chose to show her solidarity with the drag community in a bold way when she brought ‘The Special Tour’ to Knoxville on Friday (21.04.23). She told the audience: “In light of recent and tragic events and current events, I was told by people on the internet, ‘cancel your shows in Tennessee,’ ‘don’t go to Tennessee’. “Their reason was valid, but why would I not come to the people who need to hear this message the most? “Why would I not create a safe space in Tennessee where we can celebrate drag entertainers and celebrate our differences?” The ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker was joined by 19 drag queens, including ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ alums Aquaria, Asia O’Hara, Kandy Muse and Vanessa Vanji Matteo, as well as local queens. The bill, which was passed on March 2, caused an uproar among the LGBTQIA+ community. It prohibits adult cabaret from performing on public property and other places where minors could be present, and it includes “male or female impersonators” under the banner of “adult cabaret.” Violators would face a fine of up to $1000, and up to two years in prison. The ‘About Damn Time’ hitmaker, 34, has a special connection with the community as drag queens were “the first to put” her “music on”, and she vowed to “march together” with them. She previously told Ryan Mitchell on Audacy’s CHANNEL Q: “I don’t have any intersections in my mind about the people who have been marginalised, who deserve to be celebrated and uplifted, so I feel very parallel to the queer community, because I’m fighting for the same freedoms that they’re fighting for. We can march together and make this a party. That’s why I’ve always been so connected to the Queer community. Drag Queens were the first people who put my music on, and saw my music, and identified heavily with it in the beginning. I would be so excited to do Pride this year for a few reasons. I can’t talk about it right now, but when the music comes out, I think people are going to be very happy.” View the full article
