LGBTQ residents of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. are not happy that the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast has Jim Daly of Focus on the Family as a featured speaker and special guest. Keith Blackburn, President and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, said in a news release: “Bigotry harms our brand and is bad for business.

Suzanne Westenhoefer gives Ellen a little bit of credit when it comes to making it easier to become a lesbian comic (but not all of it). She told The Orlando Sentinel: “I think it just got a little bit better. It became a little more where a comic might be in Oklahoma City in a comedy club can be out. That’s definitely change. I’m not sure we can completely credit Ellen. That was starting to happen. She was the big, loud awesome boom. That was very helpful.”

Queer performance artist Jude Wonders talks female masculinity and gender fuckery with Slug. A quote: “As a masculine woman, most people would assume I’m a butch lesbian, which I’m not. I don’t care they assume that, but that’s not me. The thing is, people are going to put you in a stereotype no matter what. So really, all I can do as a drag performer is to use my art to say that isn’t the case and hopefully reach someone who doesn’t think I belong here. Drag queens started here, too, so now we have to keep stepping forward through history.”
