WATCH. Michelle Obama goes to the mattresses for Hillary on the campaign trail: “Hillary has the resilience that it takes to do this job. See, ’cause when she gets knocked down, she doesn’t complain, or cry foul. Nah, she gets right back up, and she comes back stronger for the people who need her the most.”

FASHION. Marc Jacobs causes controversy on the runway with rainbow-colored dreadlocks worn by predominantly white models: “…Palau told Harper’s Bazaar that the aesthetic was inspired by trans director and spring/summer 2016 campaign star Lana Wachowski as well as ‘certain types of cultures, like rave culture, club culture, acid house, Boy George and Marilyn.’ While it is true that dreadlocks have been linked to other cultures, they are a mainstay in black culture, a manageable means of protecting strands, a symbol of black pride in a society that stigmatizes textured hair while privileging straight hair.” Jacobs is unapologetic.

MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ. Actress defends her movie (Re)Assignment from criticism: “I’m bisexual so I would never in my life do anything that would hurt the LGTB community…I don’t think it’s gonna offend anybody and they should chill out.”

MONEY. Gay male couples out earn straight couples by more than $60,000: “That’s in part because of the gender pay gap, according to an Upshot storyin the New York Times, which affects only one half of a couple’s income in a heterosexual couple. Child care expenses also play a role. Same-sex female couples are four times more likely than same-sex male couples to have children.”

CONFESSIONS OF A RENT BOY. Gay Muslim refugee turned rent boy living in London reveals blind items about his famous and political clientele: “The-politicians think I don’t know who they are, but I’m not stupid…I met one member of the House of Lords, a man who used to be married many years ago. Before he was ennobled he was MP for one of the poshest London constituencies. He told me he was in the closet then. He was married and had a son. Now he is a grand-father and open about his sexuality. I liked him.”
