Lena Dunham reveals she cheated on Jack Antonoff after he began spending a lot of time with a "teen pop star": "One day I returned home from a bone density test to find her sprawled across our sectional couch, weeping into Jack’s lap as he told her that ‘your teens are for experimenting’ in a tone so comforting, it almost brought tears to my eyes. It had been so long since he’d spoken to me with that kind of expansive generosity," she wrote in her new memoir. variety.com/2026/tv/news/l…



'I was gay, I had faced discrimination, and I had fought for my rights. But now that gay rights had become “LGBTQ” rights, I found myself force-teamed with a lot of people whose values were nothing like mine.' My latest op-ed for The Wall Street Journal: wsj.com/opinion/im-gay…




Tommorow is 'Trans Day of Visibility', which should not be confused with 'Trans Day of Remembrance', which is part of 'Transgender Awareness Week' nor with the 'Trans March of Visibility', which is part of 'Trans Pride' which is in June, if you are in the USA, or July if you are England, except if you are from Manchester, in which case there is a separate event in August. None of these should not be confused with Non-Binary People’s Day (July 14th) or 'International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia' which is in May, or 'Trans Pride Walk', which is in August. All of which are separate from 'LGBT History Month' in October or February, depending where you live. So please do spend tommorow paying attention to Trans folx, because they get almost no publicity.

Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy." axios.com/2026/03/29/som…
