GAY HISTORY: THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON

Image
THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON This is a must watch movie to learn about gay history and the fight for equal rights. Marsha P. Johnson was one of the icons of the gay rights movement in the 1960s, the self-described "street queen" of NY's gay ghetto, and founded the Transvestites Action Revolutionaries with fellow luminary Sylvia Rivera. When Johnson's body was found in the Hudson River in 1992, police called it a suicide and didn't investigate. In David France's new documentary, trans activist Victoria Cruz seeks to uncover the truth of her death while celebrating her legacy. Victoria Cruz is amazing in this documentary. As she works to uncover what happened to Marsha P. Johnson, it brings back so many memories of the old gay scene in NYC and what is was like to be gay in the 70's and 80's.  I knew gay life from a different viewpoint. I was down at the piers, I watched the prostitution on West 10th street, but the diffe...

KENDALL JENNER COMES CLEAN ON DAD BRUCE JENNER

Kendal Jenner Kendall Jenner may not be home watching the Keeping Up With the Kardashians: About Bruce special with her family, but she's there in spirit. The brunette stunner stepped out on the red carpet last night at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards—looking drop-dead gorgeous in a Balmain creation, we might add—and spoke with E! News about how proud she is of her father. (At this time, Bruce Jenner is choosing to not live publicly in the media as a woman and will be referred to as Bruce Jenner and with male pronouns until he specifies otherwise.) "Honestly, I've never seen him happier," she told Giuliana Rancic when asked about Bruce Jenner's decision to speak publicly about his transition. "That alone makes me so happy. To see him so happy and to see him going through this and staying so strong and really thinking about his kids is amazing." Earlier this month, the runway model further gushed about her famous ...

BRUCE JENNER & KHLOE KARDASHIAN "FAMILY FIRST"

Image
Khloe Kardashian E! NEWS -- Family comes first, as Khloé Kardashian and Bruce Jenner can attest. Bruce Jenner Last month, Bruce announced to Diane Sawyer—and 19 million viewers—that he is transitioning to life as a woman. The Olympic gold medalist discussed his family's varying reactions to the news, and at the time, he revealed that Khloé "had the toughest time with it because she's had a lot of losses in her life," citing her father Robert Kardashian Sr.'s death and husband Lamar Odom's "issues" as examples. Bruce knew that information might surprise some people, telling Sawyer, "You would think out of all of the kids, Khloé is the most fun, open-minded...and that's not the case with Khloé. She's very emotional." Khloé tweeted her support after the special aired, and since then, it seems the reality star has begun to accept Bruce's transition. (At this time, Bruce is choosing to not live...

Linda Thompson The Huffington Post is the exclusive outlet for a compelling blog written by Linda Thompson , former wife of Bruce Jenner . Below is part of the piece and a link to the full post. There is also a additional piece written by Cavan Sieczkowski, HuffPost's Senior Trends Editor, on Bruce Jenner's interview with Diane Sawyer. By now, Bruce Jenner has revealed his struggle with gender dysphoria. I never would have dared to speak on this issue before he was comfortable enough to do so first. It is, after all, his truth, so I knew he should be afforded the dignity to reveal that truth on his own time and in the way he sees fit. I have respectfully kept his secrets private and would have taken his confidences to my grave had he not spoken out. But now, many years into his remarkable life, he has spoken out. His legacy will likely be sprinkled with references like "Olympian," "decathlon gold medalist,"...

FROM MAN TO WOMAN: BRUCE JENNER & DIANE SAWYER

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Bruce Jenner FREBERG PASSES --- Stan Freberg –whose idiosyncratic comic career in advertising garnered him worldwide acclaim, and whose satirical entertainments abounded on TV, radio and records—has died. He was 88. Freberg died of natural causes at a Santa Monica hospital, with his son and daughter, Donavan and Donna, and wife Hunter at his side. “He was and will always be my hero, and I will carry his brilliant legacy forward as best I am able,” his son wrote on Facebook. The godfather of humorous and irreverent commercials, Freberg lampooned cultural institutions and described himself as a “guerilla satirist.” The New York Times dubbed him the “Che Guevara of advertising,” and, years later, “Weird Al” Yankovic called him a major influence on his career. “Very sad to say that one of my absolute all-time heroes has just passed away,” Yankovic wrote on Twitter. “RIP Stan Freberg...
