K-POP Why it’s hard for stars to be gay. CNN says, “Homophobia is still rife in South Korea, where very few mainstream music stars have come out as gay. The country has no comprehensive anti-discrimination laws to protect LGBTQ South Koreans, and compared to nearby democracies like Japan and Taiwan, the country is less accepting of same-sex couples.”
FIRST TRANS man to race in the Olympic Trials will be Chris Mosier says Trans Speak, “Known for his groundbreaking achievements in sports, Chris Mosier, continues to set new benchmarks for transgender athletes worldwide. A 6x member of Team USA in duathlon & triathlon and 2x National Champion in Race Walking in 2019, Mosier can now add first transgender man to qualify to compete in the Olympic Trials in the gender in which he identifies. Mosier joined other 2020 U.S. Olympic hopefuls on Saturday at Town Center Parkway in Santee, California to compete in the 50km U.S. Olympic Team Trials Race Walk. The three top finishers earned the right to represent Team USA at the Summer Olympics, if they meet the qualification standards set by the International Association of Athletics Federations.”

NBA players reflect on the legacy of Kobe Bryant after his death.
SNL’ s Bowen Yang was profiled bu The New York Times‘ Maureen Dowd and revealed that he is a survivor of gay conversion therapy. Said Yang: “The first few sessions were talk therapy, which I liked, and then it veers off into this place of, ‘Let’s go through a sensory description of how you were feeling when you’ve been attracted to men.’ And then the counselor would go through the circular reasoning thing of, ‘Well, weren’t you feeling uncomfortable a little bit when you saw that boy you liked?’ And I was like, ‘Not really.’ He goes, ‘How did your chest feel?’ And I was like, ‘Maybe I was slouching a little bit.’ And he goes, ‘See? That all stems from shame.’ It was just crazy. Explain the gay away with pseudoscience.”
