BORIS JOHNSON. Former London mayor under recent scrutiny for referring to black people as “piccaninnies” with “watermelon smiles” and gay people as “bumboys,” becomes next UK Prime Minister.

Thank you all for the incredible honour you have done me. The time for campaigning is over and the time for work begins to unite our country and party, deliver Brexit and defeat Corbyn. I will work flat out to repay your confidence

RIP. George Hodgman: ‘George Hodgman, a well-regarded book and magazine editor who had his own moment as a literary cause célèbre in 2015 when he published “Bettyville,” a memoir about caring for his aging mother that also delved into his growing up gay in a Midwestern town, died on Saturday at his home in Manhattan. He was 60. His cousin Molly Roarty said the cause was thought to be suicide.’

PETE BUTTIGIEG. Cumulus Media blocked radio host Blair Garner from airing an interview with Mayor Pete: “During his interview on the country radio station, Buttigieg talked about meeting country music stars Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw, before then discussing how Democratic candidates should do more to reach out to conservative communities.”

My interview with @PeteButtigieg. The only candidate who asked to be on my show. My employer decided I couldn't air it – but I did get permission to post it on my personal Soundcloud here: https://t.co/Sqi0bOTyQ1 @Lis_Smith pic.twitter.com/0K88w3cA49

When I was a kid, I was lost. I had a really tough time in school. I was a big kid who loved drama. I never got passing grades, I wasn’t popular or a gifted sports player. Girls were never interested in me. I suffered from anxiety from a young age. I was distracted and I wasn’t focused. But I had a dream, I was lucky – I knew what I wanted to do. And every night I went home and I focused on THAT. I visualised a future where my dreams became a reality. When I was 15 I failed my high school drama exams. When I was 16 I was told I needed to loose weight. When I was 17 I was told I should go to drama school and train. When I was 18 I was fired from my job. When I was in drama school I was told to leave. When I had a DREAM – I was told it wasn’t achievable. Well, you know what…. I lost weight, I went to drama school and I never stopped wanting it, I never stopped being curious. I never let the failures get me down. Because I believed in myself and I never let anyone tell me otherwise. You can do anything you set your mind to. So, go out there and get it!

Come i guerrieri spartani combattevano per essere uomini liberi, noi, oggi combattiamo per i nostri diritti, per l’uguaglianza, combattiamo il razzismo, la xenofobia, l’omofobia e la discriminazione; combattiamo per il diritto di essere sé stessi ed essere liberi di vivere la propria vita come meglio crede.
