EXTRATV: Charles Melton is off the market.
CNN: The Log Cabin Republicans have abandoned trans issues from their mission and platform.
LGBTQ NATION: Rob Lowe says he endured anti-gay bullying in spite of not being gay — because he was so pretty.
THEM: I’m so sick of these people who are so sick of pronouns. Why are so many gay white men eager to align themselves with right-wingers? If you don’t get it when someone is non-binary, why does it bother you so much? Just ignore it. Trust me — you’re not going to be embraced by the normies.
NEW YORK TIMES: Soon-to-be Speaker of the House Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner reportedly met to discuss how to work together post-November. I realize this could be interpreted as capitulation, but I prefer to see it as a good omen that Democrats are about to be in the driver’s seat.
THE TIMES: A piece on Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James and his novel The Disappearers.
JOE.MY.GOD.: Ex-Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries is mentally competent and must stand trial on charges he ran a sex-trafficking ring.
GR8ERDAYS: Fabulous Shelley Fabares has died at 82. Her nasty Francine on One Day at a Time was delicious.
GR8ERDAYS: I was surprised to learn the beautiful Leslie Parrish has also died. The surprise is that she died last year and nobody bothered to report it until now. She was so wonderful in The Manchurian Candidate (1962) as ill-fated Jocelyn. I just re-watched that film and it’s sickening how “Commie! Commie! Commie!” was being thrown around 60 years ago and has never gone away.
