HUFFINGTON POST: Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem (a phrase that will never lose its ability to shock) went on CNN’s State of the Union to assert that Renee Good — the woman blown away by ICE — had (sic) “ran into” the agent, Jonathan Ross, before he shot her. Lying through her veneers, she stated:
“She weaponized her vehicle to conduct an act of violence against a law enforcement officer and the public.”
Video confirms that Good was turning away from Ross, and had just said she wasn’t mad at him. The devout Christian — who, even as an ICE officer, is married to a Filipina immigrant — responded by blowing her brains out and calling her a “fucking bitch.”
THE ADVOCATE: Is it just a coincidence that another Minneapolis person who’s come forward about ICE shoving a gun in his face is also, like the late Renee Good, queer?
DEADLINE: Buck on 9-1-1, played by hot Oliver Stark, went bi in a threesome scene, and the only awkward part was that the couple was played by a real-life husband and wife:
“It made it a little awkward, I can’t lie. And it didn’t feel awkward until we were shooting the intimate scenes, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s your real-life husband right there,’ or, ‘Oh, that’s your real life wife right there.’ But they were so great and coaching each other, like, ‘Do this a little bit more, arch a little bit more.’ And I was like, ‘Wow, I wish I had that, somebody to like coach me through this.’”

NEW YORK TIMES: Unsurprisingly, Trump’s hand-picked and often unqualified appellate judges have voted his way 133 to 12.
JOE.MY.GOD.: Dizzy dyke Tammy Bruce is out here bald-face lying, claiming Denmark is somehow already “separating in a way, moving away” from Greenland, after Trump hilariously stated that the country had no claim to Greenland just because they landed a ship there 500 years ago. (Hello, United States?)

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: Coming soon is Utterly Shameless, a doc about the late, great Edmund White directed by Brian Montopoli and ex Out Magazine EIC Aaron Hicklin:
“Through archival footage, interviews and his own reflective narration, the film traces a life spent insisting that gay experience belonged not in code but in full daylight. Montopoli brings a reporter’s rigor to the material while Hicklin adds the intimacy of a longtime chronicler of queer culture. Their collaboration also situates White’s legacy in the present, linking his early battles for visibility to today’s pop-culture boom.
“The runaway popularity of titles like Heated Rivalry and Pillion, which have turned same-sex romance into a crossover phenomenon among straight women as well as queer readers, becomes proof of a cultural landscape White helped clear.”

PEOPLE: Hudson’s co-star Connor Storrie is speaking out about his gone-viral videos from when he was 12, in which he comes off as — to me — an adorable, budding baby gay with some serious attitude. Connor notes he could have had them pulled, but decided it was “the end of a sort of self-acceptance ritual,” which is so cool, no?
INSTAGRAM: I do love all the Heated Rivalry boys, but I still feel like International Male has a hand in their off-show styling.

In this one, she lists Bishop’s top money-making songs of all time.
Bottom line: Something’s telling me he might be rich.
PLAYBILL: The Fantasticks is aiming for a Broadway bow … as a queer love story:
“In this re-envisioned Fantasticks, the central romantic pair—traditionally Matt and Luisa — are now Matt and Lewis, reinterpreting the story’s allegory of love, longing, and reconciliation through a gay lens. The show’s original pair of fathers, who secretly orchestrate the clandestine love affair between their children, are now mothers.”
