DNC LGBT Caucus Chair Earl Fowlkes released the following statement:
“In the five years since Congress repealed the discriminatory Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, we’ve made great strides in expanding and protecting the rights of the LGBT community in the United States, but we still have further to go. More than 13,000 service members were discharged under DADT, denying those men and women the opportunity to serve our nation, and diminishing the strength of our armed forces in the process. By repealing the policy, we no longer treat members of the LGBT community as second-class citizens in our armed forces, and we are a stronger nation for it – both militarily and morally.
“Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine want to build on that progress. They believe in standing up for the LGBT community, ending discrimination, and fighting for our full rights. Donald Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, would only drag us backwards on LGBT rights. They both support North Carolina’s discriminatory HB2 ‘bathroom bill,’ and as governor, Pence signed a so-called ‘religious freedom’ bill into law, which threatened to allow businesses to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. We need to elect a president and vice president who will treat members of the LGBT community as full citizens, and who will fight to protect the civil rights of all Americans.”

Travel: Glamorous Headdress Ball Set for Oct. 27 in Key West
The glamorous gala is to be held under a gigantic tent at Key West's Truman Waterfront, located at the end of Southard Street beyond Truman Annex.
Entrants wearing elaborate masks, cowls, bonnets and other headgear -- many decorated with feathers, sequins and unexpected or bizarre accessories -- are to vie for cash prizes at the head-turning event. Some headdresses in past years have featured moving parts, while others tower far taller than their wearers.
The first-place winner takes home $3,000. Second prize is $1,000 and the third-place finisher is to receive $500.
Scheduled in conjunction with the annual Fantasy Fest masking and costuming celebration, the ball is billed as the festival's premier gay and lesbian event.

Bette Midler's Iconic Debut, 'The Divine Miss M,' Remastered For A New Deluxe Edition
Rhino Records will revisit the
early days of Bette Midler's incredible career with a deluxe version of
her iconic 1972 debut album, The Divine Miss M. Midler will also make a "Divine" appearance this fall as a mentor for Team Blake on Season 11 of NBC's hit television series The Voice which premieres on September 19.
THE DIVINE MISS M: DELUXE EDITION will be available on October 21 as
a 2-CD set that includes the remastered album, plus a bonus disc of
singles, outtakes and demos, as well as new liner notes written by
Midler. The album will also be released digitally as well as in 1-LP
vinyl format, which will feature the remastered original album and
original album artwork.
In
the liner notes that accompany this new collection, Midler recalls the
origin of her nickname: "I began being called The Divine Miss M around
1969, when I made my first appearance at the Continental Baths, a gay
bath house located in the basement of the Ansonia Hotel, at Broadway and
74th Street in New York. My best friend, Bill Hennessy, a hairdresser I
met on Fiddler on the Roof, called me that for years. It was
my first night at the Baths, and before I went on, the owner, Steven
Ostrow, stuck his head into the dressing room and asked how I wanted to
be introduced. I said, 'Just tell them I'm divine!' And that's how it
started."
