NEWNOWNEXT: Judith Light on why she's so bonded with the LGBTQ community, talking about her formative years and the pushback she received for 1989's The Ryan White Story:

My friends were dying. I consider them my family. It was unconscionable the way they were being treated. It is untenable to say we that have empathy for each other, we have compassion for each other—to speak those words, and then to see the actions that are diametrically the opposite—I couldn’t bear it.

When I was very young I was in performing arts camp in New Hope, Pennsylvania—another day mecca—and I must’ve been 11 or 12—and I remembered this in the deep recesses of my mind during this period of time when so many people were dying—a lot of teachers and dancers and people would come from New York, largely from the gay community. They would come over the summer to teach and be present, and it was the gay man who took care of me. They watched out for me so I thought now it’s my turn.

HUFF POST: Alexander Acosta, Trump's embattled Labor Secretary who should never, ever have been confirmed in the first place, is resigning over the cushy deal he got for sex deviant Jeffrey Epstein — but he's doing so in spite of Trump openly praising and empathizing with him.
