PROSECUTING HATE CRIMES has come to a virtual halt in Washington, D.C. according to The Washington Post, “the District of Columbia, which handles most criminal cases in the District and has yet to convict a single shooter, beater, screamer or bully for hate in 2018’s record year of hatred. How can that be acceptable? And how can we hold U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu — appointed by hater in chief Donald Trump — accountable for her miserable record?

The District had its highest number of reported hate crimes last year: 204. That’s a year of gay men being beaten, black girls being threatened, transgender women being hurt, synagogues being harassed, Muslims being taunted and a Trump supporter smacked in a restaurant.

The bigots and bullies, in other words, are getting away with it.

It’s no surprise to Ruby Corado, who runs a shelter for LGBTQ folks in Washington. She has lived here for decades and says these past two years are among the worst she’s seen.

HEALTH STARTS AT HOME Last year NBC reported When it comes to prostate cancer, ‘gay men are erased,’ patients say. Once laser-focused on HIV/AIDS, the gay community is now addressing one of the perils of getting older.

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent invasive cancer among men, affecting nearly one in eight at some point in their lives, according to the Centers for Disease Control. But the unique challenges facing gay and bisexual men with prostate cancer have largely gone unaddressed.

Men who have sex with men (MSM) are less likely to get regular prostate cancer screenings, and those who are diagnosed are less likely to have familial and social support, according to research cited by the National Institutes of Health. And if their health care provider is not culturally competent, gay and bisexual men are much less likely to understand how treatment will impact their quality of life.

“Those in large metropolitan areas may have the option of searching for an LGBT-welcoming provider, but most Americans don’t have a choice about who treats them.”

To that end, here are some tips.

DEAD MEN don’t talk. “In a statement issued the morning, the Paris prosecutor’s office announced it is opening a rape investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. According to The Guardian, prosecutor Rémy Heitz said the decision was based on “elements transmitted” to his office and “exchanges with American authorities.” Epstein, a financier and convicted sex offender, killed himself on Aug. 10 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. “The investigations … will focus on potential crimes committed against French victims on national territory as well as abroad, and on suspects who are French citizens,” the statement from Heitz’s office said. The potential offenses could include the sexual assault of minors under and over the age of 15, according to prosecutors.”

MISSY IS BACK Wigs are snatched, braids are jumped and a queen is pulled in her chariot in Missy Elliott’s new video “Throw It Back”, released, appropriately on Throwback Thursday. Showing the kids how it’s done, said Towleroad.

The track is part of a surprise EP Elliott dropped at midnight last night called Iconology, her first record release in 14 years.

Tweeted the rapper: ‘At midnight tonight I’m dropping a collection of new songs! Let’s #ThrowItBack to a time when music just felt good and made us want to dance! Sincerely, Dr. Melissa “Missy” Elliott’

DEAR ABBY Is it appropriate to hang up a pride flag?

Hello! I hope this isn’t a stupid/inappropriate question. I (24M, straight) just moved into a townhouse style apartment with my girlfriend. A really nice couple (M/M) moved in at the same time as us next door, and we share a wall, stoop, and back patio.

We live in a pretty liberal and accepting city, but with all the homophobic shit I feel like I still hear about in the news, I want to show support and help them feel welcomed in the neighborhood. I have no problem hanging up a pride flag outside/in a window, but don’t know if it would seem weird coming from a straight couple, or seem like it was just targeting the neighboring couple. If you were my neighbor, would you appreciate seeing a pride flag, or would it just seem like uncomfortable or forced gesture? Or perhaps neither and I’m reading too much into this?

Again, sorry if this a dumb or weird question, I come from a pretty small town so this is all new to me. I just want to be a good neighbor and show support, but not make anyone feel uncomfortable. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
