Alec Baldwin's Trump made a return to SNL this weekend, acting as Mike Pence's rapid-travel agent in uncomfy situations, including at a gay wedding.
Keep reading for the cold open, as well as other hot links of the day, including Mayim Bialik's Harvey Weinstein kerfuffle and the death of a '70s TV actress ...
Gay Republicans are traitors to the gay-rights cause, period. That should be obvious.
It's not, though, because those 15%-ish of LGBTQ people who voted for Trump stubbornly felt it was okay to vote for the party that enshrines anti-gay and anti-trans discrimination in its written platform all because of other concerns, like taxes, health care and defense (all of which Trump is screwing up so badly gay, straight, bi, trans and none of the above people are being negatively impacted already).
Now, some of the high-profile Gays for Trump are speaking out and acknowledging that Trump is a disaster for our community.
Keep reading for that and more of the day's hottest links, including a Charlie's Angels reunion, the banning of To Kill a Mockingbird and why Julia Roberts' hubby has a schlong-related nickname ...

Baldwin went after Trump again on SNL in the cold open last night, segueing into an America's Next Top Model-style elimination night that pitted Jared Kushner (guest host Jimmy Fallon) against Steve Bannon (Mikey Day).
Spoiler alert: The “little, Jewish Amelie” won. (Video still via NBC)
Pretty good show, in spite of the often unfunny Fallon (who nonetheless pulled off a great feat by playing '70s vs. '10s John Travolta in a Family Feud sketch).

SNL went fairly dark in its cold open last night, featuring somber questions from Kentucky supporters of Trump (Alec Baldwin) on topics like water purity, the minimum wage and health care, all items the real Trump's budget would severely impede.
Even as each questioner (the actors did Kentucky accents, but did not lampoon the Trump voters as goobers) is told to his or her face that Trump will be directly attacking items that are making their lives worth living, they reassert their support for the guy.
Per ExtraTV, Baldwin/Trump's response:
It's like you found a finger in your chili, but you still eat the chili because you told everyone how much you love chili — it's tremendous!
Watch the whole skit after the jump ...
