Microsoft Celebrates Pride While Allowing Hate Speech and Dropping DEI
Julius Shan remembers sitting at his desk last August and opening an email that caught him by surprise: “Please find attached the memo terminating your employment with Microsoft, effective immediately.” “It was kind of a shock, but it was also kind of a relief to be fired,” he told Uncloseted Media. Shan, a 28-year-old gay man, had been on the outs with his employer for over a year. When he joined Microsoft in 2020, it felt like a good environment for LGBTQ employees. But over time, he grew disillusioned as he watched the company ignore criticisms from him and his […]
Fox Applauds NFL For Social Media “Silence” At Start Of Pride Month But League Shared Many Teams’ Messages
Fox News reports: The annual June 1 kickoff to Pride Month came and went on Monday and the NFL’s X account that serves over 36 million followers and its Instagram account that serves 32 million followers did not mention the event. Let that sink in for a moment. The league accounts that, in the past years, have told fans that “football is gay,” that “football is lesbian,” that football is queer, transgender, bisexual and, for everyone, were silent on the issue. The National Football League’s social media accounts this year stuck to, well, football. For conservatives, Christians and others, it […]

Frameline50: Interview with Jennifer M. Kroot the Director of “Hunky Jesus”

Frameline50: Interview with Efrain Mojica and Rebecca Zweig the Directors of “Jaripeo”
If you travel at Christmastime to the central Mexican town of Penjamillo, in Michoacán, you will encounter its age-old emblem of hypermasculine cowboy culture: the rodeo, or as it is known there, jaripeo. Locals and returning migrants from the U.S. flock into the beer-soaked stands, cheer and gasp at daredevil riders in the dusty rodeo ring, and celebrate this annual rite of machismo that has for generations defined masculinity in this part of Mexico, and beyond. But as this extraordinary and artistically striking documentary reveals, there is a hidden side to the jaripeo that few know: a private language of […]

Scott Wiener And Connie Chan Advance In House Race
The Huffington Post reports: California state Sen. Scott Wiener and San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan are projected to advance in the top-two “jungle” primary for the state’s 11th congressional district, signaling just how enduring former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hold on the region continues to be. The outcome pits Wiener, a more moderate candidate, against Chan, a progressive who recently secured Pelosi’s endorsement for a district that the California lawmaker has represented for more than three decades. Wiener and Chan ultimately edged out progressive political adviser Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who unabashedly challenged the Democratic […]
