MENTAL HEALTH, ADDICTION. Pete Buttigieg rolls out plan: “Buttigieg’s 18-page plan sets out three distinct goals. It aims to prevent 1 million deaths by drugs, alcohol or suicide by 2028. It also says it would guarantee that 75% of people who need mental health services receive them by the end of Buttigieg’s hypothetical first term as president. Finally, the plan wants to reduce people incarcerated due to mental illness by 75% — a move that fits into a previous proposal by Buttigieg to cut total incarceration at the federal and state levels by 50%.”

AUTOSTRADDLE. Why did we love Grease so much as gay children?

BILLY PORTER. On Pose helping his career: “I wasn’t really working in film and television. And it was just frustrating, you know? It was just frustrating to sort of feel ignored and feel dismissed, and dismissed for even the flamboyant things. So to have this come around and to have it come around in this way is really profound and really special, and I do not take it lightly.”

WISCONSIN. Superior passes ban on gay conversion therapy.

VAPING. CDC reports 153 cases of vaping-related illnesses: “People reported breathing difficulty, shortness of breath and/or chest pain before hospitalization, the CDC said. Some reported gastrointestinal illness including vomiting and diarrhea, as well as fatigue.”

KENTUCKY. Gay rights activist arrested during a protest at the Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Country Ham Breakfast and Auction: “State troopers dragged Fairness Campaign director Chris Hartman out in handcuffs on Thursday. It wasn’t immediately clear what he was being charged with. … The Fairness Campaign said members were there to protest the Farm Bureau’s stance on gay rights and other issues.”

RICKY MARTIN. Pay attention to the fire in the Amazon.

Cuando la catedral de Notre Dame estaba ardiendo en llamas, los medios de comunicación del mundo cubrieron cada momento y algunos billorarios se apresuraron a restaurarla. En este momento la selva amazónica está ardiendo. El pulmón de nuestro planeta lleva tres semanas en llamas. No hay cobertura mediática y tampoco billonarios. THIS IS A REAL GLOBAL ISSUE. Where are the real leaders OF THE WORLD joining forces for The #Amazon 🔥#repost: @wilfredorosado
