Olivia Newton-John died today. The singer and actress was 73.
She was also an LGBTQ icon, and it's a given that gay men are now crying and hiccuping "Hopelessly Devoted To You" from Ogunquit to West Hollywood.

Image: FacebookAfter 19 seasons, the final episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" aired today. DeGeneres spoke of how attitudes toward LGBTQ people have changed in that period.
"Twenty years ago when we were trying to sell the show, no one thought that this would work," said the out lesbian. "Not because it was a different kind of show, but because I was different."
She recalled, "When we started the show, I couldn't say 'gay' on the show."
Over in Tallahassee, Gov. Ron DeSantis observed, "That was such a fine tradition we nostalgia-loving Floridians decided to resurrect it."

Karine Jean-Pierre, of Haitian extraction, said on Monday during her first briefing as the new White House press secretary, "I am a Black, gay, immigrant woman. The first of all three of those to hold this position."
These two striking immigrant success stories settle it for me: Lady Liberty is a lesbian.

Image by mohamed Hassan from Pixabay In honor of Betty White's 100th birthday yesterday, a TV station in Orlando posted an unusual weather map.
Rose, N.Y., was expecting snow. Dorothy, Ark., would likely reach a high of 54 degrees. Blanche, Tenn., would be lucky to top 50 degrees. And Sophia, W.Va., would barely be above freezing.

I've been genuinely surprised at the national outpouring of grief over the death of Betty White, who passed on the last day of 2021, just weeks before her 100th birthday. Somewhere along the way she became the whole country's decent but saucy grandma.
I knew the queer community would grieve her loss, in part because she supported us. "I don't care who anybody sleeps with," White told Parade magazine in 2010. "If a couple has been together all that time—and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones—I think it's fine if they want to get married. I don't know how people can get so anti-something. Mind your own business, take care of your affairs, and don't worry about other people so much."
I have it on good authority that God has placed her in charge of a new advocacy group, Mensches for the Protection of Animals and the Reverence of Cheesecake.

Image: FacebookLegendary lyricist and composer Stephen Sondheim, who was gay, died today at the age of 91. He made Broadway history capturing all facets of the human heart, yet Sondheim himself didn't fall in love until he was 60.
It's the kind of irony he might've written a show around. Or at least a song, and called it "A Funny Thing Happened Sunday in the Park with a Little Gypsy Company."

There hasn't been such a remarkable about-face since Corporal Klinger executed one in heels and a dress.
