Image by ProsaClouds from Pixabay A Moscow appeals court today upheld WNBA star Brittney Griner's long-even-by-Russian-standards sentence for bringing medicinal hashish oil into the country. Since the Kremlin has refused to do a deal until the legal formalities were completed, we can fervently hope that now the time has come at last for Russia and the U.S. to swap prisoners.
Griner has played basketball against the best in the world. Never could she have imagined that her fiercest opponent would be a pasty, balding 70-year-old who can't go left.

Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images from Pixabay Earlier this month, a 19-year-old killed two people outside an LGBTQ bar in Bratislava, Slovakia's capital city. In a screed against queers, Jews and others, the alleged gunman noted that he was inspired by the Buffalo supermarket shooter.
Swell. Of all the things America has given the world, this European found inspiration in a white supremacist's murderous rampage on Blacks.
Couldn't he have become enthusiastic over a different American export? Like basketball? Or video games? Or Cheese Whiz?

Image: FacebookWhen the Princeton football team hosts Brown this Friday night, the New Jersey Gay Men's Choir will sing the national anthem. Princeton players will sport Pride stickers on their helmets. Mason Darrow, class of '17, who came out as gay while playing at Princeton, will serve as an honorary captain.
I expect the players will handle this official Pride Night with grace, but I also think there will be an excess of manly grunts.

On this National Coming Out Day, I'm . . . coming out.
Oh, you General Gayety readers know perfectly well I'm a lesbian. Coming out to you on that score would be redundant.
I'm copping to being a person with mental illness. And I decided to tell the entire planet. I've just released a humorous memoir called "Fun With Fred: Life With OCD and Hoarding." It's available, of course, on Amazon. If you like what you read here, you might well get a kick out of the book.
This is it for my confessions. I promise that on Oct. 11 of next year, I won't have a blessed word to say.

Image: PixabayTwo historic and positive events happened on the planet last week.
And I simply won't allow you to miss them.
In Brazil, which last year was the most dangerous country in the world for transgender people, two trans women were elected to Congress. Meanwhile, Slovenia became the first country in eastern Europe to legalize same-sex marriage and adoption.
Between war, plague, inflation, natural disaster and so on, it's tempting to believe there's nothing but bad news out there. That's why it's critical to hold up the good news.
So celebrate, or I'll slap you.

Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay It's LGBTQ History Month, and I happened to stumble on something appropriate the other day.
A booklet put out by the Democratic Party on the history of its conventions noted that at the 1972 convention in Miami Beach, "for the first time, conventioneers heard from two openly gay delegates: Madeline Davis of Buffalo, New York, and Jim Foster of San Francisco."
Madeline and Jim, you had guts. You deserve a 21-toaster salute.
