Won't stories like this feed into the myth that people can stop being gay? (Image via Instagram)

GAY STAR NEWS: I don't buy it — but then, he longer sells it. I'm sideyeing you, Gay Star News, because I know people will react to this, yet I think it's phony: A formerly gay gay escort now says he is straight following a year of celibacy. I have no problem with him — he is not an Evangelical ex-gay who is saying gay is bad, he is allegedly just saying his sexual orientation is different now. He also says that he has had sex with 100-150 men, but that seems quite low for someone who says he was an escort for many years.

QUEERTY: Evangelical power players are trying to stop a bill that would expressly forbid lynching LGBTQ people, because:

Once that camel gets the nose in the tent, you can’t stop them from coming the rest of the way in.

I prefer applying this to anal sex, but regardless, let's keep an eye on what these people are up to while awaiting Mueller's help in getting a new tent master.

HUFF POST: Rod Rosenstein, who hired Mueller, will exit his job once the new A.G. is installed, reports say. This could imperil the Mueller investigation, but the investigation has led to many pleas and uncovered a lot already, so anything Mueller's got won't vanish.

NYT: Trump's address to the nation Tuesday night was full of lies and didn't seem particularly persuasive. Pelosi and Schumer responded.

Chuck Schumer: "The symbol of America should be the Statue of Liberty — not a 30-foot wall. So our suggestion is a simple one: Mr. President, reopen the government and we can work to resolve our differences over border security, but end this shutdown now." https://t.co/aBDkvKZQ2e pic.twitter.com/W6gJINXcVY

TWITTER: Counterprogramming for Trump's eight-minute fizzle was watching Stormy Daniels fold her laundry. Cleavage beats xenophobia every day of the week. She's got a booming social media presence (perhaps thanks to good advertising) and is where she is without needing a maid to fold her dainties:

WELP WATCHING NANCY & CHUCK RIGHT NOW BUT I JUST ENJOYED WATCHING @StormyDaniels FOLD HER LAUNDRY FOR 8 MINS ON INSTAGRAM. YEP THAT’S RIGHT! SHE LOOKED AMAZING BTW PLAYED THE WALL, WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER BY TS, & I WON’T BACK DOWN BY TOM PETTY! WE LOVE U STORMY pic.twitter.com/Z96BZJvQEN

POLITICO: Probably 2020 candidate Beto O'Rourke hits the streets in Texas to rebut Trump's weak bully pulpit message.

TRUE CRIME DAILY: Cook County State's Attorney in Chicago — a survivor of sexual abuse herself — is urging victims and witnesses in the area to come forward with their stories about R. Kelly in light of the disturbing information on the Lifetime series Surviving R. Kelly. Everyone who cares to know has known since Aaliyah married him that Kelly is into underage girls; will this series be the point from which there is no turning back for him? Why does he still have so many adoring fans?

TV LINE: Everybody else has moved on — and he has explicitly apologized — but Kevin Hart is still talking about his Oscars controversy. He told GMA he is “over it” ... 14 times.
